As a newish Linux user I would like to confirm this comment. Timeshift has saved my ass so many times. It’s also pretty easy to set up and maintain. +1 for backups

I switched to just using a window manager two years ago, and I haven’t looked back since. Currently using qtile (WM written and configured in python) and it was pretty straight forward to install/configure. This is the video that made me want to try it out.
