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 just recently migrated from Linux Mint to Pop OS, do you have any tips/extensions on what I should do with my desktop?

Figure out how to do snapshots before doing updates or upgrades.

Timeshift I think? Maybe more available.

Does anyone know if Timeshift has any use with fedora atomic distros?

I think there are better tools.

Use is only

  1. For cloning the entire OS to a different drive that is smaller or bigger
  2. For snapshotting home

Snapper has a hook in apt so that it fires a snapshot whenever you do package things. It must have the same for other packaging systems.
