That exact toggle button did not exist on my machine (idk why), so I installed tried to force x11 by disabling Wayland in some config file and that bricked everything. Idk how, I did not bother enough to fix it, since that installation was kind of fucked anyway and moved on to manjaro. It took probably only about 1 month from the installation to this.
To be precise, it is not a "toggle button" as such, it is a menu at the bottom left that is defaulted to X11 but can be switched to Wayland. Tumbleweed also has snapshots. I don't know how messing around with Wayland could make even launching into a snapshot impossible but I never messed with Wayland/X11 either.
Well, i could boot into the snapshots, but I didnt have Internet. I have no clue how the fuck this is even possible, but it happened anyway.
You don't need internet to rollback to a previous snapshot before you nuked your system files by editing that config to turn Wayland off. But given that this is in the past, it is water down the river I guess.
I literally booted back into the old snapshot (I could switch between them in the boot menu). It was fully functional, except Internet.
