Decided to roll with Opensuse Tumbleweed a while back which preconfigures snapper for you. Never used it or touched it before.

Did something stupid and bricked my install and could not figure out what was wrong. Saw I could boot to a snapshot, so I gave it a go. It worked and I restored it.

I will never go back. I’m sure this has been around for ages but this was a game changer for me. I’m so used to the old model of manual backups.

    It’s one of the reasons my distro hopping kept bringing me back to OpenSUSE. GUI system apps, and a failsafe revert with snapper rollback if you tinker too much and break stuff.
