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?
You can also use "yast2 snapper". I posted links with documentation about everything you want to know. Start with the book, I would say. You can even print and bind it. After the command, you have to reboot to actually do it.
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?
You are the master and commander. It just obeyed your orders.
thanks.
