    @kristoff @purplemonkeymad All of these are in-place same-disk snapshots. The ChromeOS system is simpler and so can be automated but you only get 1 level of undo.

    I don’t know any mainstream OS that does dual-failover. Deepin Linux has 2 root partitions but I don’t know how it uses them.

    I think Valve SteamOS does something like this. It’s not just for games: it has KDE built in. There are guides to getting it running on your own hardware. You will want AMD graphics, though.

      As I mentioned earlier, I guess chrome is more like android where you have a much more strict seperation between the OS, applications and user data. (I remember reading about all the different partitions on android and what they are used for, but I should bruch up my knowledge on this).

      Thanks for the additional into on brtfs! 👍
