How long do you keep your backups? What software do you use
I also use btrfs, but I use btrbk to manage the snapshots. I use some scripts I made called btrbk-pac so that every time I use pacman, I get snapshots before and after the transaction, logging the affected packages in a file (tbh I'm not super proud of the solution, and started making a cleaner Rust version some months ago which uses yaml for configs, but never got around to finishing it). That's for the stuff under /, while I just have a cronjob take care of hourly snapshots for /home.

Does anyone have a Breeze-gtk theme without the circle drawn around the close button?
I just realized that suddenly, gtk apps are following that rule. I looked back through my previous pacman commands (I created some scripts that log the affected packages when I use btrbk to snapshot through pacman hooks) and found that I upgraded the following on the night of the 30th: kdecoration breeze breeze-gtk kde-gtk-config along with a bunch of other KDE programs, so I think that update might have fixed it.

I feel like an idiot.
Btrbk and the pacman scripts I wrote for it automate the creation and maintenance of snapshots for me, which is most of the the interaction you'll need with snapshots. And then when it comes to actually accessing them, just copying individual files/directories is what's done the vast majority of the time.

A btrbk logging script and hooks for Arch's pacman
After adding all the stuff for SSH and feeling kind of gross about it (this is the original and this is after stapling together SSH stuff), I've kind of been thinking that if I add too much more complexity to this project that I might be better off just transferring it all over to Python or something else. Shell scripting isn't much fun when going much further than 100 lines, lol.

Arch simply has never failed me (gamer)
Afaik the proper solution is to use https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/blob/master/initramfs/readme.md and/or rollback the root to a snapshot.

In fact I’m pretty knowledgeable around btrfs and snapshot-tools as well. :D I codevelop https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs.

BTRFS restore question — newb, be gentle
Something I noticed is that the instructions here before step 2 suggest that the files /etc/initcpio/install/grub-btrfs-overlayfs and /etc/initcpio/hooks/grub-btrfs-overlayfs might exist, and they don't for me. Worth noting that I installed through pacman, which may be a reason they don't exist if I'm reading those instructions correctly.

How to replicate SpiralLinux snapshot + rollback in plain debian?
In Debian, I see that there is a custom installer "Spiral Linux" (https://spirallinux.github.io) with non-default settings that achieves the same kind of mechanism using "grub-btrfs" (https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs) in combination with "snapper-rollback" (https://github.com/jrabinow/snapper-rollback) and a BTRFS subvolume layout suggested by the Arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Snapper#Suggested_filesystem_layout).

Kali unkaputtbar/snapper not appearing on grub
When the issue first arrived (around 01/11/2023, IIRC), I did try posting an "Issue" on the GitHub page for grub-btrfs (located here), & more specifically on Issue #254, however, for whatever reason (at that time) I wasn't able to make a post on that Issue/forum.
