I managed to spectacularly break my #OpenSuse #Linux this morning whilst installing NVIDIA drivers.
Thank goodness for snapper which allowed me to get up and running again in a few minutes so I could fix my botch and get the drivers working correctly.
All distros should have something like Snapper installed and configured by default. Its fantastic!

A quiet “tsk tsk” and a shake of the head also works wonders.

This looks amazing. I’m going to have to try this out.
Hi Matt @thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org What tiling window manager would you recommend for a noob using nvidia? I’m currently running OpenSUSE - an amazing distro ! Hyprland looks like it may be tricky to get working !
Replying to
@opensuse That’s one of the reasons I use OpenSUSE. Having snapper pre-configured is fantastic. It’s saved me on more than one occasion when I’ve done something wrong !
Happy #MayTheFourth from me and my little friend.

Looks like this is going to be interesting.

I’ve just watched the first two episodes of Maul - Shadow Lord and I must say it’s fantastic !
A must watch for any Star Wars fans. I really enjoyed reading the Maul books and this is looking just as good!
I normally turn off the minimap in #vscode but this feature to show test coverage in the minimap (that's just been merged into 1.115 of Visual Studio Code) may make me enable it again.
Two days of sun in a row!

@PhilipPugh@universeodon.com That’s amazing. Was it just point and click or did you have any additional hardware?
