It may be a little too late but if you have a chance to use a feature like btrfs snapshots (+time shift) it can be a game changer.
Any time you need to do something risky to the OS you can just snapshot before like installing 1000 packages, or Nvidia driver update, you can just revert to the old working version by swapping the names on the snapshot and is subvolume.
