It's very difficult to revert to a backup if the system is trashed
and all you have left is TOS.

Been there, done that with far too many systems. I've done Ubuntu updates
that trashed the system so bad it took two weeks of solid effort to get
them back to usable.

Yes, I have updated XaAES and mint.prg but that is very different to
wiping all the installed packages and installing from a new distro
system or wiping the entire partition and starting from scratch.

I am just lost as to why effort should be spent on creating a new distro
when there are so many other aspects that need work.
