    Timeshift with BTRFS kicks ass. I have mine set for daily snapshots, retained for a week. Only the changes between snapshots are stored, so the extra disk usage is minimal, and easily justified by the peace of mind in case of fuck-ups or broken updates.

    I don’t have the source right now, but I had the same idea not long ago, and the tl;dr is swap on a zvol is a very bad idea. If your system ever runs low on memory and actually needs to do heavy swapping, you’re setting yourself up for a catastrophe.
