Restoring Timeshift snapshot with systemd-boot

Dear all,

fortunately not the case, just a general question. We know that systemd-boot does not support booting into Timeshift snapshots as GRUB does (or is there a workaround?). But how would we then proceed if we have an unbootable system, but a “working” Timeshift snapshot? Would we then simply boot from USB, arch-chroot into our installation and run Timeshift from command line to restore a snapshot? Is that the correct procedure?

Many thanks in advance!

Just for future reference, I believe I found the answer in this post:

It might be a good tip for a wiki article, if someone is “lucky” enough and needs to try it out :slight_smile:
