I hear you Kresimir. Years ago I broke everything and fixed it just to learn how it works. These days I just need something to work. My first \*nix system was a FreeBSD server in 1994, although I ran Arch since 2016 on a livedvd just to see what made it tick. That’s how I raised the :enos_flag:  
I guess that makes me a “user” and not a developer, so snapshots make sense to get me working again in a few minutes.

I used to have Timeshift until recently when I switched to Dalto’s [Btrfs Assistant](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/btrfs-assistant-1-0-is-coming-testers-needed/25421) with grub-btrfs. I am pretty happy with that now, although I will look into zfs for another system.
