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.
