Was looking at how to set up snapper on Fedora 39 and came across the ever knowledgable Stephens tech talks video. It does balance, setting up snapper, sub-volume management in a really cool GUI tool.
edit updated the link as the GitHub page was apparently ood, but it is in most repo’s

Interesting, I didn’t know it existed outside of Garuda. Thanks OP.
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
Apparently btrfs assistant has a gui to create snapper snapshots. But there’s also snapper-gui
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.
