Just rock an atomic distro. You choices then become: it boots, OR: the OS is no longer present so I guess it's not my problem anymore.

You can still f it up, mostly by messing with the bootloader (at least in my experience). Also the same can be achieved with stuff like zfs/bttrfs snapshots 🤷 But yeah, nixos rocks.

Reninstalled the system 5 times, each time immediately locking myself out, almost

Managing ~35 machines without issues now though.

My old MacBook hangs around just for this case. As clever as I think I am, I know, deep down, I am hack and have poor luck so I always need a ripcord.

Working as a self-taught dev has a weird toll. Lmao.
