There are also some configuration files in /etc and /var which may be worth being able to reset, but for most desktop stuff, indeed it's mostly in $HOME. But we can apply this principle to home configuration too: we could use subvolumes for home directories and set up a snapshot regime and allow users to flow back and forth through them (like Time Machine).
I feel like this should exist already - but let me ask anyway: under what condititions can you control subvolumes for home directories as user? I'm mostly interested in snapshotting dot directories - unless they are caches.
With a little elbow grease, I suppose we could do that too. The challenge is that you have to pre-determine which ones to create. We can kind of cheat and do that for .config, .mozilla, and a few others up front. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
