I know the feeling!
I’ve been happily rolling with opensuse tumbleweed for almost a year now.
Btrfs rollback is a life saver (2 times). Less than 5 minutes for a rollback.
Other than that, pretty solid…
That happened to me few times, once GPU driver update, once grub update, both relatively easy to fix by searching the error on Endeavour forums and reading their official updates. And both of these issues was me not reading the update notes.
And when I was once forced to reinstall it was matter of an hour at most to have PC with working environment up and running, thanks to separate home mount and keeping all my installation notes in one place.
But one can do that with Ubuntu too.
I learnt one lesson from my manny distro-hopping sessions in the last 12 years, allways separate home from system amd keep all essential installation scripts and files in one place.
It is going to make to want to go back
Someday
When you least expect it, and have a deadline
For me that day was yesterday. Ran an update. Next bootup got a black screen.
Saw it as a sign that it’s time to distro hop again lol
