    That’s why I like OpenSUSE. If anything went wrong and system couldn’t boot properly you just choose an older snapshot.

        Basically, yes. OpenSuse is nice because it comes with everything already set up, including bootable snapshots through the bootloader.

        Yes, BTRFS combined with auto snapshots whenever you make system changes. So if you install a package, remove a package, or adjust anything like network settings or services, etc. you then have a snapshot to rollback to. Also, auto cleanup based on time or number of snapshots.

        So out-of-the-box even as a new Linux user if you make a mess you just reboot to an earlier time, (which is read-only at first) if all is good and functions as you like you do a

        sudo snapper rollback

        And your current snapshot you are in becomes the bootable default.
