Timeshift is strict with the layout (requires @, @home, etc.). Snapper is configurable and doesn't really care. Several other tools are built on top of Snapper. apt-btrfs-snapshot is also strict with the layout. Is apt-btrfs-snapshot in Debian? Last I checked (years ago) it was an abandoned Ubuntu package. For many years Timeshift's upstream very clearly defined their scope as "we exclusively support btrfs on Ubuntu, and some Ubuntu derivatives". Has this changed? Do they officially support Fedora and its rational and sensible layout? Meanwhile Ubuntu doesn't allow configurable subvolumes. Debian's motto is "The Universal Operating System", and when we fix problems, we do our best to fix them for everybody outside of Debian. So, for example, when a piece of software hard-codes an Ubuntu limitation, we see that as technical debt, and not a standard. Our policies must not infringe on the freedoms of Fedora, or Arch users, because our social contract is an ethos and not just a legalism. https://www.debian.org/social_contract Cheers, Nicholas
