My man, thanx alot! I wasnt aware that out there are billions of packages to be added AFTER the instalation. My post about something different
That was not my intention. It was my impression. But I might have got the wrong impression.
So if I mistreated you by my last sentence, unintentionally, I apologize, intentionally.
I don’t think that is a piece of info that jumps out in the GUI desktop of the live session so people are not aware of that. Perhaps there might be some info about it under some button in the Hello Welcome app. Not sure.
Right, thanx! But please we keep the topic unflooded…
Do Timeshift (some extra MBs) have place in the LiveISO? With suggestions if selected
Why does it need to be on the live ISO?
I don’t see any issue with options in the installer!? Include Timeshift, BTRFS tools, and other stuff as a simple tick of a box during installation with some check so it will work and not interfere.
A distro can be light and still include options for stuff just set an requirement to use Online installer.
If I knew how I would make a Unofficial EndeavourOS Ultra(with options) as a gift to the community(Yes i would ask @Bryanpwo for permission).
at the same time the ISO allows you to include a custom package list is there really a difference?
True but it’s not that simple or simple enough for noobs.
Thanx for the suggestion! But craeting poll feels like to attract alot ot attention…
I think the devs deserve to let be in quit enviotment.
My post wa/is simpel and was mentioned to create ome lazy afternoon discusion
Which then gets to another question which is EndeavourOS meant for noobs or for those who are already familiar with Linux/Arch systems. (Lets not hijack this thread answering this)
I can certainly understand the OP’s desire. If the system stops booting, you can at least use the live ISO to restore it to a previous state — provided, of course, that snapshots exist. Granted, chroot would be the appropriate tool for that task, but it would also make sense to be able to accomplish this using Timeshift directly within the live session. And NO: attempting to install Timeshift (and cronie) within the live session will fail, as a system restart is required (at least, that is how I recall it working). For instance, I am currently contemplating switching back from Btrfs to ext4 after several years, in that context, using Timeshift would be an idea worth considering anyway … backups themselves aren’t an issue with this setup (or at least, they shouldn’t be!). And no, I am NOT a noob.
Timeshift doesn’t need cronie to be used to restore a snapshot from the Live ISO. cronie is needed on an installed system for making scheduled snapshots.
Sure, you can include a billion packs in the ISO, but as mentioned in the topic - as a noob, fresh to Linux, would you have some sort shoulder like Timeshift (with instructions)?
Timeshift on the ISO is never going to happen. I’m with @thefrog You want timeshift then install it after. I use btrfs snapshots btw with grub!
Hm … in any case, Timeshift wouldn’t start back then because it couldn’t find an installed instance of cronie on the system.
EndeavourOS isn’t aimed at noobs to Linux, noobs to Arch, yes, but it is still Arch after all.
cronie is a dependency of timeshift but it is only needed for schedueled snapshots.
It is not even enabled by default so users who wish to make such snapshots need to enable the service explicitly.
For on-demand snapshots, timeshift works just fine without the service enabled.
we do have this great forum for someone who had a problem they encounter. inb4 someone said EOS is bloated. 
Looks OP underestimate themself or are overly modest calling themself NOOB:
I wouldn’t imagine such a user a noob but if that is what they say, so…
