        In my early days I would reinstall the whole OS several times a week when I would fuck things up too much.

          Ah, the good old days of installing some obscure distro just to reinstall from scratch a week after 👌🏼

            I’m still curious about stuff I didn’t try. Like NixOS. Even tough I have a perfectly configured and problem free arch install which could take hours to replicate, I still consider if I should try it.

              I just switched to NixOS from Endeavour maybe 1/2 days ago. It’s honestly pretty cool(i might have to be extra stupid to break this distro lol), but even as a vanilla Arch user it still kind of confuses me. I’m a linux noob, though. You’ll probably have an easier time with it.

              Edit: i do miss pacman, specially yay.

          God I spent so much unnecessary time reinstalling arch, before arch-install too! Looking back almost every time I reinstalled arch I could have fixed it with an installer and chroot.

      That’s true. I’m no expert, I need to google everything - but after years of reading / coping/ pasting similar things, I started to understand how some things work.
