edit: for anyone curious, the problem was Xorg wasnt loading or something (stuck on systemd ‘graphical interface target reached’ with no graphical interface). because of a typo in a config file.

    When you install, partition your drive. /home goes on its own partition and will probably be the largest one. Then you can wipe the / partition and reinstall all you want, takes 15 minutes

      If you’ve done any weird customisations you may want to make a ba k up of /etc . I wouldn’t recommend blindly restoring /etc , but at least you’ll have a record of the system configs, should you need to redo stuff post reinstall.
