So, - to back up /home within the current filesystem, just take snapshot.
Where are the snapshots stored? Do you have to allocate space? How many snapshots can be saved? Can you boot from a snapshot? 2. Font was surprising. Using same Firefox, same website,
- Fedora has the best fonts. - CachyOS is close second. - OpenSUSE has the worst fonts.
Can this be solved by installing fonts or is it a rendering issue? Conclusion:
----------- I'm satisfied with CachyOS, so far. I recommend people to try BTRFS distros. It will make your backup much easier. And, ability to do "rollback" is bonus.
Reading some of the CachyOS forums, the rollback feature seems to be the *main* reason btrfs is preferred. More than one war story describes a process that sounds like: 1) An update did something unexpected to my system 2) I was easily able to rollback to its state before the update 3) I went to the wiki to find out what went wrong and took appropriate steps to fix or mitigate. Again, thanks. Great report. Great to hear you're happy with the choice. - Evan
