Follow-up from “Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?”.
Here’s mine - the laptop from which I’m typing right now has a broken touchpad that keeps jumping and clicking randomly, and does not work. Well, I can’t afford to fix it, but at the moment, I was so pissed off I punched the touchpad really hard, and the machine panicked with all the lights blinking. A few more revival abuses, and the machine was back to life, but since I was running a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade in the background, I blew off my boot partition. I think I just broke the unbreakable distro.
To this day I use BTRFS on all my machines because of the superior snapshotting capabilities, and to this day I have never used it for rewinding to a snapshot, as basically live in fear of it
Well, untested snapshots/backups are just as good as no snapshots/backups. Same applies to snapshots without restoration plan. So I would urge you to try testing it just in case.
Do you have any resources for doing Btrfs snapshots? I already use Btrfs, but I’ve never really caught on to the whole snappshotting thing
