This is what scares me with snapper.
It’s reliable so I haven’t had to figure out what to do if/when it does break.

I mean, snapper did its job. My hardware failed. I managed to get it going again by hammering the button with my finger.

Yeah, I get that.

It’s more that your post reminded me of another one I’d seen where someone didn’t read one of those “advisories” before updating Arch. And Timeshift couldn’t save them, so they had to figure out how to get everything up and running again.

If I recall correctly, they did get it running again fine, it just took a few hours. But I’ve been meaning to try and find somewhere to learn more about fixing failed boot, but the spartan grub prompt scares me, lmao!

I’m assuming Snapper can fail for the same reason Timeshift did for that guy.

I learned to not have critical files anywhere but external storage. Completely wipe the OS, and the stuff I absolutely need is unharmed. Then again, there isn’t much at all that I have to keep.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

 

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don’t understand or can’t verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community – even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don’t fork-bomb your computer.
