    Plot twist: Your snapshots were mounted when you did that and are now also very accessible.

    TimeShift was probably one of the most important teaching aides I had when I first started on Linux.

    I've been on Bazzite for a couple years now, so I have no need for it anymore.

    But I learned sooooo much by breaking my EndeavourOS install and then rolling back.

    I've only had to rollback with Bazzite once so far (it's hard to break), and it was literally just one rpm-ostree command. Love it.

    (seriously asking)

    Why even use ./ if you can just use . and are not executing anything? Am I missing something? It seems like a bad habit.

    (OK on my case of course the incentive to use dot is higher than slash because it needs shift contrary to dot)
