Hi guys
I just installed from "debian-12.5.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso"
I tried to install TimeShift just to backup my system, but though I installed from Discover, clciking it does nothing. Absolutely nothing!
It has been a few days anyway I was thinking of converting my system to BTRFS so I can snapshot mys sytem to any previously working state in case I do something stupid (as I usually do). No nead to repeat the pros of BTRFS + Snapper vs. TimeShift (that didnt even launch anyway)+ EXT4.
I know EXT4 is musch more stable as compared to BTRFS, but my use is just "normal" home use, I don't do anything unusual, just browsing the internet, reading books, sometime listen to music... and I I do nothing special that requires or uses anything that BTRFS provides like huge files or Raid... etc.
The only reason I am thinking of BTRFS is snapshotting to be able to revert back to a working state if anything happens or if I install a software and remove it. I prefer to roll back to the previous state rather than uninstalling.
What do you think guys? Should I try and convert to BTRFS?
Any Debain specific precautions. warnings, recommendations...?
Any good guide step by step to do it to get BTRFS and snapper?
I generally prefer to go with the defaults as a rule of thumb, but I don't mind breaking my own rules if I feel I can benefit from it.
I like the idea of BTRFS and snapper and personally tried it some time ago when I was on EndeavourOS and they worked fine for me for long time.
But I thought I better ask the experts.
Your fee back will be highly appreciated.
