    I have been using Linux for over 20 years and this post is the first time I’ve heard about timeshift. I use Arch, btw.

      ironically, arch users are the only users who I’ve heard talking about timeshift because apparently its the best way to roll back after an update breaks sth?

        Hmmm… My laptop is an x200s I bought new in 2008 and I still have the original install, I dd’d it to an ssd circa 2014 or so and has been happility running since. I have a desktop from 2018 same story, it never broke it beyond repair.
