You can reinstall stuff without uninstalling it first (yay -S <package>
). To add to the other comment suggesting a driver reinstall, you can use downgrade
to revert back to old versions (and also to keep it fixed till you wanna give it another go, don’t forget if you do so tho!).
Moreover, set up snapshots! They provide a very straightforward way to recover from failed updates.
If you are on btrfs, you need: snapper, snap-pac, btrfs-assistant (optional, but provides a GUI and more automation…)
If you are on ext4: timeshift, timeshift-autosnap
Im both cases you need to create a profile for root (/
), although when it comes to Timeshift I think you need (/ want to) exclude /home
. (On the default btrfs setup, you don’t need to do this, because /home
is it’s own subvolume).
What an extremely complicated way to voice a single, vague concern.
