It doesn't happen to me frequently anymore, but it's not terribly hard if you're tinkering and not super experienced (not a dig; this kind of slightly-beyond-your-comfort-zone tinkering is often a good way to become experienced). Install a couple packages from source, mix in a 3rd-party PPA, hand-edit a bunch of files under /etc, upgrade across a major distro version, and it's not that hard to get into a state where you probably could unwind things but it's so much easier to just reset the whole thing. Edit: Phrased differently, doing the opposite of this advice: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian is a great way to get into a situation where reinstalling is easier than fixing it. |
