Reviews and mentions

• This is my "Sway is fantastic" post

  If you scroll down to list of files you'll see it includes following file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/in.teejeetech.pkexec.timeshift.policy. Which will look something like this file upstream presumably: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift/blob/master/src/share/polkit-1/actions/in.teejeetech.pkexec.timeshift.policy.

• Why Home Partition Not getting any mention?
  2 projects | reddit.com/r/linux | 21 Nov 2021

  I like having the root partition as btrfs so I can roll back any changes I make that break things. Very useful for me because I like to tinker around with stuff. The timeshift application is fantastic for this. I don't bother backing up my root partition. If it dies it dies and I'll just go for a fresh install or distro hop for bit.

• Backup or system image…

  It doesn't work with Fedora 35 yet. There's a copr link here in the bug report that temporarily fixes it.

• Fedora Workstation 35 available

  Hi all, be aware that timeshift is broken on Fedora 35 due to changes on lsblk output. This wasn't the case with the lsblk version present in Fedora 34. There's a solution in some forums that are supposed to work, but the timeshift master branch is not solving this issue yet.

• GTK 3 app won't obey dark theme, despite using Breeze. Tried lxappearance and other apps but they dont't work. Plasma 5.22.5 on Kubuntu 21.10 if that helps.

• Using Ext4 over BtrFS
  1 project | reddit.com/r/openSUSE | 2 Nov 2021

  For ext4, timeshift handles restores very well from personal experience. It is available in the tumbleweed repo. It generally takes a minute or so to restore (depending on how many files there are) and then reboots (I'm not sure how that compares to snapper).

• Time Machine for Linux

  I think you're wrong. Timeshift is well integrated with Btrfs snapshots : see. Like snapper, it makes snapshots of the root fs (and /home if you want), but it's well integrated in Ubuntu (but with some hack you can go on other distros). I don't want to denigrate your tool, so.

• My sleek and modern Linux development machine in 2021

  There are many other small and nifty utilities that I use; most are command-line utilities. There are some notable mentions like Timeshift, which is nice for backing up your machine.

• Is manjaro linux as bad as people think?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/ManjaroLinux | 31 Oct 2021

  Setup timeshift with a policy that works for your storage limitations but still leaves you somewhere safe to rollback to.

• What scheduling do you have for Timeshift? Is it overkill to do daily backup?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/ManjaroLinux | 31 Oct 2021

  I know and didn't state to use Timeshift as a backup tool for personal data. I use it to make a backup of the current state of the system installation. You can replace the word "backup" with "snapshot", for a less ambiguous meaning, but I don't think it is wrong to use this word in this context.

• Ubuntu 18.04 lts: Xorg is broken. As are many other things... Time to nuke and reinstall? Or try and fix?

  Next time, use Timeshit
