Wow! There is a GUI for setting up snapshot thingy on fedora! It's called Btrfs Assistant and I found it on Discover! This makes making btrfs snapshots so much easier than using the [scary] terminal!

@rio you probably still want to have backups on a separate drive/system in case your drive dies (which I wouldn’t be surprised with smasnug) or gets corrupted :blobcatblep:
