> as famously happened to Linus of LTT years ago when installing Steam on Mint rendered the system unbootable
The system booted fine! It just didn't have a graphical desktop environment installed anymore. But it was up and running, not crashing or anything like that! It was no more 'unbootable' for lacking a GUI than the server hosting this website is. :)
But yeah rollbacks are a great way to handle situations like that, so it's a great feature for a package manager to have.
