That’s exactly why I used them! I’m running a rolling distro on my main desktop, when I first moved over to linux (a couple of years ago now), I kept breaking things without having the knowledge to fix them. And then I discovered snapshots! The one thing I would say to be aware of, is to make sure you have a bootloader hook as well, that will let you actually boot in to the previous snapshots from the boot menu. I use CachyOS and it has this stuff as out of the box options during the installer.

    Being able to boot into previous snapshots from the boot menu sounds ideal, and I've seen a lot of mentions of CachyOS lately, so maybe I'll check it out next time I do a fresh install. Thanks for the tip!
