That’s probably how most of us started, but then you start getting familiar with things…

And that's when you really get good at breaking shit.

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.

Oh yeah! I tried so many…hahaha

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.
