It's not great to do a hard reboot, but contemporary filesystems like ext4 tend to handle it well enough. > I'm lost in the command line, I'm not even sure I could manage to access > the so called consoles or that I could open an alternative desktop > environment >=20 > If I had a spare computer I would use that. >=20 > Unless using a qemu based virtual machine is a good enough solution > > If it is, then here I am I think QEMU is a fine test environment for GNOME as long as you can use the Kernel-based Virtual Machine in QEMU, which allows the VM to run at near-native speed. When starting QEMU you'd pass '-enable-kvm'.
