Hi all
What does everyone think of using Btrfs and timeshift-autosnap from the AUR as a way of taking snapshots before an upgrade?
I love Salient OS and can't wait for the new ISO to be released but the problem with Arch is sometimes things break. I currently use Manjaro with Btrfs on my root partition so if something goes wrong, I can boot into the previous snapshot (similar to Opensuse) but I'm not sure if this is a good solution or not.

What do you guys think?

  That sounds doable. Maybe try it on a spare drive first to see if it works for you?

Thanks Silent. Any idea when the new Plasma ISO will be released?
