I run Linux Mint, and recently installed some updates, including some related to Cups (printing). My laptop suddenly would not print anymore, i asked AI, tried to troubleshoot. No go. Then someone sent me some comments on the Mint forums related to this. Apparently a recent update broke Cups on alot of machines, including mine. So i decided to try using the Timeshift feature on Mint, and reverted to a date earlier this month, and it worked! I can print again! In case anyone else is having the same issue. I'm hoping the Mint team will send a patch update for this soon.

I once rolled back my openSUSE system by several months.

A change I accidentally made that meant some of my packages were frozen, while others kept updating, and it manifested itself way later.

I remember that moment and thought Ctrl+C would save my ass fast enough 😂

Oh no, sounds like a nightmare. Luckily my rollback was only a few days.

It was just a matter of picking another snapshot at the boot screen 😊

Separate /home is great.

It was a bit scary doing the rollback for me, had never used it before.
