  • The FS feature is great, it’s just cumbersome to use without a tool.

    Snapper works well for a local backup like history both against botched updates and accidental deletion, but eats up the free space with the default settings.

    Timeshift is an easy to use GUI but doesn’t support non-default partitions.

    Also the quota support had a nasty side effect: freezing the whole system on snapshot deletion.



  • If you are looking to reduce the build’s cost consider a cheaper motherboard or a used GPU. The Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 is the lowest you should go if it has all the connectors you need. As for buying used video card it’s always a bit of risk, but as the most expensive component you could save the most on that. Since all AM5 CPUs have an integrated GPU you could build without the dedicated GPU first.
