Works the same as system restore in windows. I just updated a vpn app and it borked my linux mint desktop through the package manager.

Timeshift restored the system without losing data.

I've used TimeShift successfully across several systems, several distros, and several years. Not sure what you're doing wrong.

Timeshift is linux. System Restore is windows.

Thus my joking comparison to windows. My attempt at sarcasm has failed, I shall report to the nearest termination booth. Got a quarter I can borrow?

Timeshift worked, no problems. It says so in the op.
