Friendly reminder
This is your annual reminder to do a snapshot (timeshift or whatever you prefer) before doing relatively minor changes to your system.
I was supposed to be in bed now, but instead I am stuck troubleshooting xorg refusing to start after an apt-get dist-upgrade.
And as far as friendly reminders go, I should've given myself an unfriendly reminder beforehand, as it's not the first time....
UPDATE: Fuck nvidia 545. All my homies hate nvidia 545. 535 4 lyf!

Ah okay well I appreciate the response anyways. I’m also struggling to figure how to snapshot my /home since I put it in a different partition during install. Timeshift is “unable to see it”.
Tumbleweed does it, comes preconfigured out of the box. TBH I'm trying to get the same on Arch & fail. The snapshot-before-change are easy enough, but reverting is where I fail.
Have you tried to manually specify the subvolume id (sudo btrfs subvolume list /) of the snapshot you want to restore to in /etc/fstab?
When I was distro hopping I believe Garuda Linux took snapshots and was easily able to restore a few times. Maybe you can reverse engineer what they’ve done???
I’m running Nobara right now for my gaming setup but I’m half tempted to try TW.
