Use Timeshift, use Timeshift, use Timeshift.
Ok. I’ve downloaded, tar and gunzipped the files for it.
Then did a make build and then make install. Now my system won’t start. What do I do?
What
In the off chance that this isn't a joke, does your distro really not have timeshift binaries?
It’s a joke
I have saved 3 reinstall or 1 week of troubleshooting in only 3 "fuck around and find out" incidents.
saved me when I deleted the wrong partition.
Same, it's saved my butt so many times. Once in the middle of a tech conference, I was messing around in the terminal with my networking and borked something really bad.
I spent 5 minutes trying to get my networking back but couldn't figure out what I had screwed up and ended up breaking it more.
I just went into Timeshift and restored to the beginning of that day and in a few minutes I was back up like nothing had happened.
I guess I'm the only one timeshift always fails for.
