Arch Linux is an RPG. You bite the bullet and install it, despite your friends warning you that it's going to eat SO MUCH of your free time. Your girlfriend is confused by it, but she's glad you're enjoying yourself...at least when you're not yelling at the screen. Character creation is insane. You spend your first day customizing and don't actually do anything productive. Your coworkers are tired of you talking about it. They run Ubuntu. Casuals. Your boss is tired of losing productivity hours to it. And, periodically, you fight a big boss called "Oh shoot, this update did something bad, I should have paid attention". Pretty sure that's a callback to a world boss in Guild Wars 2, but I could be wrong.

@@driden1987 It really is a rabbit hole. I realized that snapper works flawless on openSUSE and other distros have some problems with it, so I get why ppl use Timeshift instead of snapper.
Timeshift-autosnap does the same. I have automatic snapshots every time I do yay -Syu. What do you prefer about snapper? I’m a beginner Linux user and timeshift does all I need from it, so I’m curious what else is there.
Small correction: At 16:38 you said grub-btrfsd picked up the change but in fact the grub reconfiguration here is done by the pacman hook from timeshift-autosnap. As you can see at 15:40 you have set updateGrub=true
🤘Former Arch user here. Arch is super cool, but NixOS let's me be a mad scientist in a safe environment with Btrf and rollobacks out the box. Oddly enough the only Linux distro I ever broke was...wait for it...Debian stable.
I hate to admit it, but I noticed a very big speed difference in pacman between btrfs and ext4. Some time ago I was setting up Arch on WSL, and it was just blazing fast. With BTRFS it is like 2-3x slower even when no snapshots are made and the FS is balanced.
Time shift is a lifesaver. At my previous job they let me use Arch and my computer shut down in the middle of an update and it screwed everything 😂 I ended up having to reinstall everything. That was the day I became diligent about using time shift
Lots of people have already mentioned it, but last year I switched to NixOS after having broke my Arch install for the last time. There's a learning curve, it's quite different from any other Linux distro, but the benefits are absolutely worth it. And you can use it like a rolling release when you want the latest packages, or pin packages to specific versions when you want, you are in complete control.
Oh and one thing I might add, if you do look into NixOS, also look into a thing called Snowfall, which provides a set of conventions for writing your NixOS config, which is otherwise very open-ended which makes things a little harder to learn IMO, since you can organize your config into modules a thousand different ways and every other NixOS config you come across will be doing things its own way. I intend to rewrite my NixOS config using Snowfall lib at some point in the future.
arch and gnome = most underrated system - all aspects of cool prety stuff like osx etc but cooler - great with a iwm or something for zen like work environment! rate it !
Just curious do you use any of the redundancy features of BTRFS. I have mostly stayed away from BTRFS because of the write-hole bug but i guess if you strear clear of Raid 56 you should be fine. Anyways this setup was cool & very helpful thanks (& you need it with Arch BTW 😝)
Exactly the reason why i just install Garuda since it has BTRFS and grub snapshots out of the box..snapshots with Arch is must for me, just in case something weird happens. I usually only update on the frist of the month as well.
I tried to test this system and got super confused. I setup new arch. Installed a bunch of soft like in vid, configured it. Finally when i wanted to test i snapshoted system without neofetch, and after installed it. I booted with my created snapshot but it still was there. I tried to do thing like that to understand why do snapshots changes with the main system but got nothing. At the end i got a problem that system couldnt mount my home dir for some reason. Still cant resolve it
@@ygvanz you need to NOT include home dir to snapshots because @home's id change every time u backup. Thats why system cant mount it. I got 1 more issue that after first backup u will be forced to use one of your snapshots. But what will happen if your snap will automatically deleted by for example limit of snaps? So i just switched to nixos
Hi, I ran in the same issue! Here is a little fix: - in emergency mode enter your password - open your fstab file with your prefered editor and delete the entries with "subvolid=xxx" - reboot I don't know if it's a clean solution, but it works for me. there is also the possibility to mount your /home directory manually: - in emergency mode enter your password - identify your Btrfs device-/partitionname with "lsblk -f" - mount your subvolume with "mount -o subvol=@home /dev/"your device- or partitionname" /home" I think it is because timeshift ID's are distributed and these are not included in the fstab file. For more details see also the command “btrfs subvolume list /mnt” first entries.
That was excellent, thank you. Does booting from a snapshot, restore the snapshot, so that the next time you reboot you can accept the grub default menu item?
Why would i schedule a daily snapshot if ive hooked up the 'take snapshot before update'? The only time ive ever broken my install was after an update. Also i used to update daily.
I did that too. I had the terrible feeling of doom when I realized what I had done. However, I had backups for everything in my home directory. I had it completely restored in a few minutes, thank God!!
I prefer to use the cli for rollback, because GUIs can be unreliable (although I don't mind them). I mainly use this bundle: Snapper + grub-btrfs + snapper-rollback (which works for the recommended layout of the btrfs file system on Arch Linux) + snap-pac
FYI timeshift also has a terminal version. I've rolled by to a previous snapshot many times using it. It goes to show how many times I have screwed it up. Not so much any more.
Oh... Then what are the options come when I press shift key while booting . it shows different kernal versions to boot from I through they are enough for the system. Please someone explain
Every time the kernel is updated on your system, the record of the previous version still exists on your system. That press shift while booting feature is probably provided by your computer manufacturer. It's purpose is for the rare chance that a new kernel doesn't work at intended. This makes it easier to change to an older kernel.
These settings are great and you explained very well, but I want to say here there is one Linux OS which comes with all the setting to do the snapshot for your system out of the box. It is OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Great video though. Keep up the good work nerd.
Why not just set up a crontab for checking for new snapshots and updating GRUB? The easiest way to do this is if the timeshift --check command returns true in a root crontab, also update the grub-btrfs snapshot registry. No need for an additional service or some seedy package that's able to view the file system.
Installed my Arch (BTW) in 2019 and broke it once with... you guess, partial upgrade. I don't remember for which (terrible) reason I interrupted a system upgrade. ... clonezilla saved my ass. It's been some time since I did a snapshot, it would probably be a good idea after I finish your video :)
@@donaldmickunas8552 : clonezilla works differently, you boot on a live USB and the utility let's you save/restore partitions to/from an external hard drive. So you can't automate it :)
Just rewind to the checkpoint or snapshot that was created before doing the risky work. Gosh. Run Tieshift on btrfs and make hourly snapshots. Hell be fine, because he did these things. Other people who don't know will be 😭😭😭 crying.
I’d love to use NixOS, and for you to do a course in it nudge nudge hint hint - but when I installed it I couldn’t get astral uv working on it. Really interested if anyone has had a similar experience and what their solution was
That will not work if your kernel update is generated on /boot partition on non Btrfs (e.g, an ESP). To recover from the previous snapshot, you should also have backup for /boot partition. Otherwise, you will have panic kernel after recovery.
If you had time shift on that system, you could have used a live USB stick for something like Linux Mint which includes timeshift. Then use time shift to access the location where your snapshots were stored and have hit restore your system. Generally, timeshift will create a directory /timeshift automatically unless you specify somewhere else.
Just saying and please correct me if I'm wrong grub not working properly with secure boot (I already tried to sign it with sbctl) so think twice before switching to grub. if anyone knows how to easily sign that grub font file please correct me.

@@danielemoncada65 no. You are booting on your default disk, but if smth breaks you boot with snapshot Ps. After restore you should be able to boot on default disk because it is overwrited(?) by snapshot
