So I was running OpenSuse MicroOS on my Mini PC to make it as reliable and easy on maintainence as possible. Or that’s what I thought. It was running fine for a while but then I had to switch it off for longer periods at a time (like two weeks of, one day on, a few weeks off and so on). And then I would not turn on anymore. The PC is not in a very easily reachable position so I just tried again after a few days but it still didn’t work. Then I took it to my desk and hooked it up to the monitor and after selecting the last working snapshot of the OS it was booting all fine.

So in the end nothing was broken, everything was fine. But I really don’t want to take it out again so I am asking for advice. What are you doing in this case? Do you have a portable display or a very long HDMI cable? Or is there something I missed how I can select another snapshot over SSH or something?

Thanks everyone in advance!
