I'm on 580 right now. It got usable after a few months. If 590 is out, I have to say I'm really hesitant to bump up to that. Might just hold off on updates for a while.

Thankfully I have snapper on all my systems so rollbacks are easy.

How does snapper compare to timeshift? Ease of use. Been using ts since I got back into linux and have used it quite a few times already

I don't really know the difference, I've only ever used Snapper. It comes preconfigured on SuSE Tumbleweed, and I've set it up manually on those machines I have that don't run Tumbleweed.

I like Snapper because once set up it basically just does its thing on its own, and it's super easy to use. I can access the snapshots from the boot menu so if something goes awry I can just boot into a previous system configuration.

If you already use Timeshift and you're happy with it I don't really see why you'd switch.

I just get curious when I see an app I didn't know about that is similar to one I use. Other than access from the boot menu it sounds just like ts. I may check it out on one of my test laptops to see how different it is

thanks
