I use BTRFS for the Snapper backup/bootable snapshots

Garuda uses this feature on an Arch base, it's saved me a couple of times. Props to openSUSE for developing the way to make that happen!

This really is my favorite Garuda feature - it's saved my install more than once so that I can roll back a messy update, figure out what broke and why it broke, and then make sure the next update works

Besides Wiki and AUR that all Arch derivatives share, they have their own wiki that documents the changes they're made to Arch and a very good forum for help

Bootable Snapper snapshots enabled by default

A lot of people think it's just Arch with an installer and lots of bloat and a neon theme but it's a lot more than that.

Garuda Linux

[-] evadzs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you're newer to Linux I recommend Garuda as a beginner distro. It's very similar to Endeavor as an Arch base, but has some friendly GUI options like Snapper bootable backups for easily undoing bad updates and an update script that takes care of mirror list and orphan notifications. People complain about bloat in Garuda and while there is some it's also helpful bloat, still less than Windows, and has negligible impact on modern hardware
