From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's what I've been doing for the past 2 days
Oh, you don't have to always boot anew from the read-only snapshot.
When you're booted into the working read-only snapshot, run
sudo snapper rollback
and then do a normal reboot.This will make that read-only snapshot your new (read-writable) system state. So, after doing this, your OS will be as if you never applied that update.
More info on that command: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/archive/15.0/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha.snapper.html#sec.snapper.snapshot-boot
Oh, that makes sense.
I tried it, and ran it in the latest broken snapshot and was surprised why it didn't roll back to a previous version 😅.
