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.

I haven't tried SUSE but that's awesome they take care of rollback out of the box, I'll try setup snapper on my fedora when I'm bored

Besides snapper itself, you'll have to setup triggers to automatically take snapshots before/after running dnf, generate the appropriate boot menu options and reorganize your btrfs subvolumes so that everything that should not be rolled back (eg /var, /root, /srv, ...) is in a different subvolume than /...

Honestly, if I were you I'd just give opensuse a try instead: I came to tumbleweed from fedora, and it's basically the same, solid thing (only, without the new version drama twice a year).
