I will never install a Linux desktop without a snapshotting root filesystem ever again. Nvidia driver updates, /boot getting too full during kernel or driver updates, a bad update of pipewire half a year ago, and more I can't remember. Was always able to boot to previous snapshot of the OS, and address whatever it was. Some ZFS here, some BTRFS there... and my small fleet of Linux desktops are as easy to recover as any immutable OS. Better even, because snapshots allow me to pull individual items or things between states easily, too.

Pics or it didn't happen.
Snaps pushed me to mint on one and endeavour on the other box.
Ext4 just went through a data loss fix in the kernel, too.
I'm Tom Dudette, and I'll leave the light on for ya. (guitar outro...)
Yes. Linux is good enough for everyone, whether they like it or not. :)
I won't buy a laptop without it. My earlier Dell Precision had it, but under warranty they ended up replacing it for a slightly "better" model, because the damage from the swollen battery was too hard to repair. I hate the new one. I have to make this 64gig laptop hibernate to get close to what I had with S3 sleep... but it's nowhere near instant. I hate them for doing that to me. And this newer laptop (Precision 5550) keeps losing screws and it has stray clicks from the chassis flexing when you try to pick it up. Miss the old one. Think it was a 5540.
All these laptops make a circle... All these laptops make a circle... ;)
