I went through that phase too! The tweak times are so much fun and breaking things is a good way to learn.

Now I am in a sane defaults mode. Where I just want everything to work well. Pop on so far has been rock solid. I actually have been trying to not touch the terminal to see how that feels as a user. In been 4 months and so far it hasn't been a problem.

May I recommend a versioning or snapshot capable filesystem like BTRFS? It lets me tweak and make mistakes with little fear.

With that said, always keep proper backups of data you care about.
