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

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.

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?
I don't know about timeshift but it appears to have a configuration tab for snapper.
Yeah I seen that. Does snapper have a easy gui for dummies to make snapshots?
this is that more so in something like Fedora/Opensuse
🥴 thanks
Thank you 😃
Is there a difference between this and timshift/timeshift autosnap/grub-btrfs?
Timeshift forces you to use a very specific layout of btrfs partitions or whatever those are called. On Fedora.for instance, unless you set them up manually, Timeshift will not work. Snapper isn't so picky.
I never had to set it up. I use endeavour OS and all I did was choose "btrfs" in the installer. That's it. I just installed timeshift after that and ran it like normal. No issues. Installed auto snap and grub-btrfs and I'm in the races.
