welp, snapper and my ignorance broke my system. :(

Desktop

so last night I found out the hard way that snapper does not protect my boot partition. I'm not sure how to do that while also satisfying limine's requirements.

as it is, restoring snapshots only work if the system snapshot you're going back to works on the current kernel and apparently going back a couple weeks broke it. :(

now I get to spend the next few days remembering what's missing and set it all back up.

I just wanted to go back to a 6.x non-lts kernel cause my system kept glitching and freezing up on me. now I know not to do that but damn, that was frustrating. all I was doing was watching facebook videos, something my pc can do just idling.
