I was thinking the same. People are downvoting you because Lemmy is filled with left-leaning people.

Yes, now I understand.

I know it is not secure. Are you saying that I can roll back to the state before I intentionally messed around without rebooting? Can you elaborate?

I work for a very small company. We do embedded development. They gave me a Windows machine. After a few months I ditched Windows for GNU/Linux and after a couple years the other two fellow developers followed suit.

This is an option, but I really do not need periodic snapshots.

Glad to read that.

This is also a sensible approach.

systemd-nspawn is interesting. I never managed to try it out.

It could be a sensible approach, but with a snapshot I am free to tinker with every aspect of the system knowing that I can revert everything with a reboot.

A broken system is no big deal for me, I can easily get up and running after a failed update. My data is also mirrored to my Nextcloud instance.

Of course, I could, but I do not need periodic snapshots.

Yes, I reboot into the snapshot. I need to tinker into a copy of my system and I think there is no easy way to boot into the snapshot with a virtual machine.

I agree with you.

I lost some faith in humanity upon reading that such drama over attitude that I would consider juvenile at best and mildly inappropriate at worst is still sparking debate.

I regained some faith in humanity upon reading many people trying to put things into perspective - this guy is not evil incarnate.

Also - and this is catered to American audiences - do not forget that this guy is from Poland. American left-wing values do not stretch all over the world.
