Which few bad clicks would put a fedora install in that state?
1 comments

If you do have permissions to install packages you can end up with a system in messed up state pretty easily.

1 - Enable wrong ROMFusion because you need these damn video codecs for VLC. I have like 20 years of Linux experience and I still messe up Fedora in 2025 trying to make video work.

2 - Just forget that big update going in background and shutdown system when not appropriate. Boom. On Windows its just much harder to accidentally do it.

Only solution is really distros with immutable root and snapshots.

Lucky for you then, as Fedora does have an immutable desktop flavour!
