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.

Does it yet support OpenZFS root on install (with encryption) or encrypted BTRFS root install? Snapshot rollbacks are just so handy and have saved me multiple times over the past few years... I'm not sure I could give that up. NOTE: I've only needed that for physical hardware installs. VM's have other ways to be snapshotted and rolled back.
If rolling back is all you need, Mint encourages you to use Timeshift with rsync.
Ah, but rollback was of /boot. Something rsync Timeshift isn't that helpful for.
