NGL, some distros will give you the anxiety that the next update will brick your OS as well

Well I updated my computer and my audio stopped working; to the logs! Lol I love Linux, but find myself asking "what now?" much more frequently with it..

With windows it is more like "wtf is this new ad on my start menu?" Or "how can I opt out of all these features no one ever asked for?"

One time an update broke audio, and I spent like 15 minutes digging around in pipewire logs and weird config parameters before I realized that I was literally just muted lol. Pulseaudio has irrevocably conditioned me to assume that whenever there is no audio, it must be some obscure bizzare weird issue instead of something simple

This is definitely a thing!!

We're using Linux so we just assume it's some highly technical issue right off the bat lol. This has caught me a few times. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Once I manually deleted a snapshot folder because I didn't see it listed, and thought it was "orphaned" and just taking up space. :D

"SUDO THAT SUCKER!!" ๐Ÿ‘‰

OS says "Okie dokie boss."

Suddenly none of my commands are working.

Turns out I deleted the currently mounted active snapshot . Safe to say it was reinstall time.

Don't go manually touching system files, folks. ๐Ÿ˜‚
