This is a Situation any tinker on Linux will find theirselves in. I reinstall my Linux regularly because I changed settings and shit that broke it. Problem is I change so much that I don’t know what broke it.
What helped me minimize my reinstalls was enabling ssh on my PC. If my UI goes pear shaped I can go through the logs on my phone or my laptop.
I can also recommend COW-filesystems liks btrfs or zfs for snapshots and rollbacks.
That’s good advice, thank you. I spent a while learning how to set up and enable SSH in a secure way, but I wasn’t quite sure on many practical use cases for my situation yet.

Ssh is always enabled Also usually I can access the tty but sometimes a reinstall is easier than figuring out how to fix it.
Snapshots is sth I still should setup.
