@kristoff @purplemonkeymad All of these are in-place same-disk snapshots. The ChomeOS system is simpler and so can be automated but you only get 1 level of undo.
I don’t know any mainstream OS that does dual-failover. Deepin Linux has 2 root partitions but I don’t know how it uses them.
I think Valve SteamOS does something like this. It’s not just for games: it has KDE built in. There are guides to getting it running on your own hardware. You will want AMD graphics, though.
@kristoff @purplemonkeymad But watch out: you will need a *huge* root partition, because it’s very easy to fill it with snapshots and if it reaches 100% it *will* corrupt.
Btrfs is tricksy: it won’t give a straight answer to df -h
and there is no working equivalent of fsck
.
@kristoff @purplemonkeymad Try openSUSE (RPM family), Garuda Linux (Arch family), or Spiral Linux (Debian stable) or siduction (Debian testing). All have snapper and on Btrfs do snapshots and rollback.
(1) You are totally wrong.
(2) The expression is “short-sighted”, Einstein.
@jeena @freeguru He really is. He was once a vaguely sane FOSS industry commentator. Then he lost/left his job, and had to monetise his blog & channel. Result: 90% of it is frothing hatred and insanity.
