Yw, mate Hack, but I did not help you.. :(
Last time I almost formatted and reinstalled everything was when I had a
dependency hell here on Debian. The impulse was to reinstall. I decided I
would not do that and instead I spent an hour to read and fix the problem,
which after all proved to be perfectly solvable by a normal GNUser like
meself . Not only it spared me some 3 or 4 hours (the time that it would take
me to restore my OS exactly how I want it to be) but I also learned something
new in the process. I think this "format and reinstall attitude" had its root
in my long Win$ experience - on that proprietary bloated OS reinstalling
actually brings benefit, a faster system, given how quickly and easily the
win$ is affected by bloat and malware.
cheers
