yes I understand, I have snapshots listed, so just to get this right, then the stuff I am remembering that grub2? also shows something about snapshots during boot, is something else? or maybe only on kernel level stuff or so?
so still from inside the running, messed up 15.5 i rollback to that index I see listed, and immediately? comes into existence as a reverted situation, the icons, files, packages and all coming back instantly (kind of) or do I need to reboot aft that then or how does this work on a technical level?
i am still often amazed that linux kind of can delete its own stuff while still running, so maybe it can revert, overwrite and reapply all this again while it is still running? thanks. You have to reboot to actually be in the rolled-back snapshot.
