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.

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).

A great "How-To" for setting up Timeshift and grub-btrfs on Ubuntu 22.04LTS w/Timeshif's Auto-Snapshot for every APT-GET you do
grub-btrfs - Improves grub by adding "btrfs snapshots" to the grub menu. You can boot your system on a "snapshot" from the grub menu. Supports manual snapshots, snapper, TimeShift ... timeshift-autosnap-apt - * Timeshift auto-snapshot script which runs before any apt/apt-get update|install|remove using a DPkg::Pre-Invoke hook in APT.

Open Source NVIDIA driver available with Ubuntu, but user action is necessary to switch from original driver to new "open kernel" driver using the "Additional drivers" tool
If you use Grub, Grub-Btrfs is great

External monitor input feels laggy and slow
Use Nvidia to render everything. You can easily do this with programs such as Optimus Manager or Envycontrol (I recommend the latter if you're on wayland). You can set it so that when you're on charger, laptop boots with the Nvidia (dedicated) mode and when you're on battery it boots with integrated mode (if you do this, read the wiki about Nvidia as you're going to possibly experience nvidia-related issues).

System won't boot after installing Nvidia drivers
I was wondering if there was a way to make it so tahta the system uses noemally the intel GPU, and switches to the NVIDIA one only when needed (for games, or other demanding applications). I found this application to switch manually, but i was wondering if i could do it automatically, somehow...
What you meant was optimus-manager program and you should look at https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager for instructions with that method of using Nvidia Optimus, but you should also look at instructions for other methods for Nvidia Optimus too, especially PRIME-Render Offload one, because you can find important things for power management at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME#PCI-Express\_Runtime\_D3\_(RTD3)\_Power\_Management , because you have a Turing GPU and Tiger Lake CPU, and method for Nvidia Optimus you mentioned and want to use is best supported with gdm, sddm and lightdm display managers and you may want to look at other Nvidia Optimus methods.

Recommend me a Distro to go back into Linux.
-Refer to this: https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager for help with other display managers or issues

Enabling dGPU breaks the system on Nvidia Optimus laptop
Hello, I am a newbie to Intel-nvidia-hybrid laptop. My issue is that I cannot use Nvidia dGPU for my favourite apps. I have tried Optimus Manager and Envycontrol but both of them breaks my system. I am using HP Envy laptop with Nvidia gtx 1650 ti maxq. Thank you!

From what I saw on the wiki, bumblebee is outdated. In my experience, I used either optimus-manager or envycontrol.
