How Timeshift on Linux Can Save Your Data

When I started using Linux, I messed up a lot.
One wrong thing and boom system not booting
No reset button. I was scared to try anything new.
Then I found Timeshift.
It felt like magic.
Take backup. Break system. Restore. Done.
I used rsync first it saved more stuff.
Later tried btrfs more smart, fast, and saves just system stuff.
I broke my system many times. Timeshift saved me every time.
Now I don’t use Timeshift.
I use OpenSUSE these days, and it has btrfs snapshot built-in.
It takes auto backups when I install or change system stuff.
If I mess up, I just go back.
No extra setup. It's smooth.
Just wanted to share this.
This gave me confidence to explore Linux more.
I break things and fix them.
