@kristoff @purplemonkeymad Try openSUSE (RPM family), Garuda Linux (Arch family), or Spiral Linux (Debian stable) or siduction (Debian testing). All have snapper and on Btrfs do snapshots and rollback.

@kristoff @purplemonkeymad But watch out: you will need a *huge* root partition, because it's very easy to fill it with snapshots and if it reaches 100% it *will* corrupt.

Btrfs is tricksy: it won't give a straight answer to df -h and there is no working equivalent of fsck.

@kristoff @purplemonkeymad All of these are in-place same-disk snapshots. The ChomeOS system is simpler and so can be automated but you only get 1 level of undo.

I don't know any mainstream OS that does dual-failover. Deepin Linux has 2 root partitions but I don't know how it uses them.

I think Valve SteamOS does something like this. It's not just for games: it has KDE built in. There are guides to getting it running on your own hardware. You will want AMD graphics, though.

As I mentioned earlier, I guess chrome is more like android where you have a much more strict seperation between the OS, applications and user data. (I remember reading about all the different partitions on android and what they are used for, but I should bruch up my knowledge on this).

Thanks for the additional into on brtfs! 👍

@kristoff Not really... On ChromeOS, there are no apps.

[–] kristoff@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

No apps at all ???

So it really is like a dumb terminal. Now I know why I never used a Chromebook😀
