And this ladies and gentlemen, is why we have backups.
In the rather stupid event that you completely fuck something up, you can go back to the way things were.

I accidentally rm -rf 'd the wrong shit.
And then my terminal broke. Couldn't access anything.
Had a small backup of all my files.

Quickly ran a restore while some crucial things files were still alive in RAM.

Timeshift is fucking life saver.
