I use Nix, so I’ll just reinstall my system if anything really bad ever happens. Sometimes I reinstall just because. My important files are on a delegate drive I have to manually mount, so I’m not too worried.

Take the next step, and write a simple ansible playbook to configure your installed applications and services. It looks a little complicated at first but it’s pretty easy.

Then you just keep your playbook with your other files. When you decide to reinstall, you just install ansible then run it on your playbook. It’ll install and set up everything you add to your OS.

I only know the Ansible as the intergalactic communication system from Ursula K Le Guins novels, so this comment is too cool to me.

I know it is from the Ender’s Game series, personally.

Ansible was indeed used by Orson Scott Card in his Ender’s series, about 20 or so years after it was first coined by Le Guin. Funny to think of someone reading such good novels as Ursula’s and still coming out of it a bigoted asshole.
