im smart an keep breaking my install

Post by 3rdsurfer »

hey so i like to experiment with my os and change stuff around install new things, etc, but the problem is... i keep managing to break my os so it won't boot or has other problems. so my question is, is there some feature like the restore point in windows? i would like to not have to do a fresh install each time i mess with things. as of now i am backing up what files i need and fresh installing my os. i am not too worried about data loss here, more just convenience, but a quick backup manager would help too.

thanks

Clonezilla. Use it once a week and you'll always have a reasonably up-to-date complete, restorable backup of your system.

You could also try Remastersys which will create an installable iso image from your system so you can basically reinstall back to a working configuration.
