        People actually thought about that… so snapshots are read-only by design

      TimeShift was probably one of the most important teaching aides I had when I first started on Linux.

      I’ve been on Bazzite for a couple years now, so I have no need for it anymore.

      But I learned sooooo much by breaking my EndeavourOS install and then rolling back.

      I’ve only had to rollback with Bazzite once so far (it’s hard to break), and it was literally just one rpm-ostree command. Love it.

      (seriously asking)

      Why even use ./ if you can just use . and are not executing anything? Am I missing something? It seems like a bad habit.

      (OK on my case of course the incentive to use dot is higher than slash because it needs shift contrary to dot)

      I accidentally made my entire home directory executable and I only backup individual projects on my laptop since it doesnt have much valuable data. that was annoying to fix
