When I realize I need to nuke my machine and start over, it's:

sudo -i
dmesg > /dev/nvme1n1
systemctl reboot
Choose the right kickstart from the menu.
Refill coffee.
Go back to working as if nothing happened. My home directory is there
and my machine is reset to sane defaults.

Neat! Is there a tutorial somewhere about how to do this?
Not that I know of. I saw it in some article decades ago. Basically, 
what you're doing is overwriting the first few k of the disk, which 
overwrites the boot instructions and partitions and the like.
Unless you're talking about kickstart or something else?
