When you say “unrecoverable” do you mean the graphical desktop didnt load? Or you couldnt even log in to the terminal?
A lot of newbies assume that not getting to a graphical session means the OS is dead and nuke it and start over. When in a lot of cases, you can just switch to the command line and troubleshoot or roll back the broken drivers
Bazzite being atomic and hard to fix is actually what pushed me to try Arch. I’d been a Debian guy for ~15 years, but I just built my first new desktop in just about the same amount of time, and I certainly didn’t want it to feel old! So I tried Bazzite, which worked until some update broke some driver, and like you, rolling back didn’t work, and I couldn’t find anything online that would help me fix it, so I just said “Fuck it” and went straight to Arch. It’s been pretty good so far!

Just for future reference if you try linux again
