Exactly that is what I did. Everything worked again. The driver broke it so. BUT it is kind of a general problem, since it isn't always possible to just format

Exactly that is what I did. Everything worked again. The driver broke it so. BUT it is kind of a general problem, since it isn't always possible to just format and reinstall everything... Something like git revert would be amazing for apt. But maybe I just want to much.

No, I don't think you're asking too much here at all, and I totally agree with you. Take a look at Nix OS - it's a Linux distro that, if memory serves, comes with those kind of guarantees as to how it handles packages, installations, etc. No idea how useable it is for a desktop environment as compared to Ubuntu, but you might find the general approach appealing (again, if memory serves, please pardon me if not).

  Not sure how user-friendly Nix is for Desktop. But definitely the approach seems to be right. Anyway my solution right now is using timeshift. Quite happy with it. Already was able to rollback the nvidia driver and get my touchpad back. Seems like a workable approach, but definitely would expect some kind of native functionality.
