  • timeshift

    System restore tool for Linux. Creates filesystem snapshots using rsync+hardlinks, or BTRFS snapshots. Supports scheduled snapshots, multiple backup levels, and exclude filters. Snapshots can be restored while system is running or from Live CD/USB. (by linuxmint)

  • I don't mean "the flatpak package" (which, btw, I would not guarantee will remain and be well-maintained in the official repo as opposed to a PPA), I mean "flatpak builds of the flavor's internal packages" like settings and tweak tools. Imagine, for example, if Mint decided to follow suit and said that the only official way to install Timeshift was via snap. Sure, there would be unofficial builds--I myself have it installed from the AUR--but that comes with a certain expectation of additional jank.

  • timeshift-snap

    A snap for Timeshift, a system restore tool for Linux. It works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and other major Linux distributions.

  • distribution-spec

    OCI Distribution Specification

  • Said by someone who has no idea what OCI stands for.

  • acme.sh

    A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol

  • I can recommend using acme.sh for those types of situations.
