  • In A question regarding restoring your system to a previous state/snapshot utility

    @krauser I have had to use sudo eopkg hs -t to rollback my system when I ruined things by messing with my audio drivers (JACK vs PulseAudio). I found it incredibly helpful. I feel super safe knowing I can just drop into the last kernel and do as @kyrios stated above.

    I also use Deja-Dup to create snapshots of my system. I backup my data separately, but I also have relied on Deja-Dup to actually restore my entire system from / which was a huge relief when it worked.

    With the way Solus is set up, I never encounter instability by 'regularly' using the system. It's only when I try to test out newly rolled out JACK support, or tweak my PulseAudio settings, or messing with my USB Wacom tablet installation that I ever encounter issues. Most of my needs to revert have been directly related to me messing around in directories I shouldn't be, but that's how I learn! Solus has been super stable for me coming up on 1 year.

    @krauser I think this is a good question, I already used the eokpg history to roll-back some installation, but not sure how good this works in case of version upgrades. In principle the referred help page states that it can be used for rolling back software upgrades.
