This is your annual reminder to do a snapshot (timeshift or whatever you prefer) before doing relatively minor changes to your system.
I was supposed to be in bed now, but instead I am stuck troubleshooting xorg refusing to start after an apt-get dist-upgrade.
And as far as friendly reminders go, I should’ve given myself an unfriendly reminder beforehand, as it’s not the first time…
UPDATE: Fuck nvidia 545. All my homies hate nvidia 545. 535 4 lyf!
It doesn’t back up any of your data unless you selected your home folder to be included. The default settings only back up the actual system files.
If you have an issue, reboot the pc and when you see the text aopear for options, select that with the arrow key and hit enter.
Boot into a previous version in recovery mode. Then when logged in, open Time shift, choose an older backup when you know your system was working, then click the restore button.
It will bring your system back to that point in time. Reboot and you should be ok
