From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Interesting, I didn't know it existed outside of Garuda. Thanks OP.

Same. I even use Garuda and I never actually touched that thing. It's all preconfigured and I just let it do it's thing.

Can this make a btrfs partition usable to timeshift?

[–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know about timeshift but it appears to have a configuration tab for snapper.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah I seen that. Does snapper have a easy gui for dummies to make snapshots?

Apparently btrfs assistant has a gui to create snapper snapshots. But there's also snapper-gui

Thank you 😃
