    You can use a backup app for any distro.

      Well, 1) I’m a lazy bastard and setting something like that up sounds like work, and 2) snapshots are still nice by themselves. If I break my OS, I’m back to a working state in five minutes, even if I’m out and about with my laptop.

        Timeshift is actually super simple to set up and works nicely, but yes I imagine having snapshots built into the OS must be much more seamless.

          Yeah, I literally do nothing for my snapshots until the moment that I need them.

          Obviously doing a little work for it isn’t the end of the world, but I like not having to think of it and not being able to fuck up, because I’m literally not involved.
