Is Cronie a nickname for timeshift? or is it something else entirely? After reading through this thread I’m not certain.

They both work. I originally (by accident) installed pamac-aur-git, but you have to install the tray-icon app separately if you want the tray notification/app. Pamac-aur has both combined in the one app.
Is Cronie a nickname for timeshift?
No, Cronie is a cron-job process, I believe, that automates the hourly/daily/weekly backups of timeshift. I perform my timeshift updates manually, so in this type of usage, you would not need to install it.

I only ever install Pamac so I can browse packages. Outside of browsing I always install & update using Pacman. Far better tool IMO.

Different packages. Timeshift needs cronies to automate timed backups.
In EOS you need to install cronie too for Timeshift to work.

Cronie is a daemon that implements cron, which is a job scheduler from the old days of UNIX.
It is a way to schedule programs or scripts to run at certain times. Programs like Timeshift, for example, which can periodically create snapshots.

depend mostly what your preference are. timeshift-autosnap does work with rsync, and pacman…so you create basicly every update a backup you can revert.

There are several differences. The EOS is becoming more stable, more mature, and easier to use than the Manjaro. I am writing this because I have been using the former for a year (still antergos the year before) and the latter for two years on a daily basis.

If there is nobody in this forum who is interested in statistics, why does this info page still exist?
Shouldn’t you remove it then?
By the way a nice choice of words you use here in this very friendly forum.
Wenn es in diesem Forum keinen gibt den die Statistiken innteressieren, warum gibt es diese Info-Seite dann noch?
Sollte man sie dann nicht entfernen?
Im übrigen eine nette Wortwahl die du hier benutzt in diesem so freundlichem Forum.
