It's the one distro that stopped my distro hopping. Besides, something goes fucky or (more likely in my case) I fuck something up, I can just roll back the changes with a single command and reboot. It's awesome. I've also used to just test things out, removed all KDE stuff, installed GNOME, tested it out for a while and then did a snapper rollback. The system was just like I hadn't changed anything. It's really cool, more distros need this feature. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] JoMomma@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago Wild, every time I've tried using it on both metal and as a VM it has self destructed rather quickly.

I've kept on Arch derivatives cause of the AUR, but I haven't actually touched the AUR in a while, and a couple of the things I used the AUR for are now being published as flatpaks by the creators because of the Steam Deck. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] carzian@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago Give it a shot, you can always go back permalink fedilink source parent
