      Something i recently learned:

      Your live usb does not need to be the same distro as your main. (And in retrospect that makes total sense but i never realized)

      My arch install broke and could not get timeshift to roll back using the arch live usb. But a ubuntu-desktop live usb worked flawlessly.
