  Never used Mint, but Time Shift was a god send to me for about two years on EndeavourOS. I was able to learn so much by not having to worry about breaking my install.

  I rolled back more times than I can count without ever really encountering any issues.

  I’ve done that a few times now without issue. What’s wrong with it?

  Have seen similar comments on that specifically on mint before, does mint have a particular problem with it? I used timeshift to restore manjaro a couple of times and it was very confusing but I assumed it was just me.

    I thought TimeShift was a bit of a pain to restore from. So I switched to Deja Dup and haven’t had any issues with it.

  Having had to fix a friend’s installation because timeshift filled up the system drive, I would say one of the biggest problems of mint is that it comes with timeshift enabled by default (and with shitty settings). I recommend keeping manual backups, and not trying to restore a system, as opposed to setting it up from scratch.

  I use [not arch, but] debian, btw - haven’t had the system break on me in > 10 years. At worst, some driver gets messed up temporarily, but nothing that ever rendered my system unusable.

    After using TimeShift, I find Deja Dup better than TimeShift.
