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

    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.
