It is actually very easy:

  1. You setup auto-snapshots (almost trivial)
  2. You update
  3. Evaluate
    3.1) Repeat goto 2
    3.2) Rollback goto 2

The only problem here is that snapshots (and btrfs for that matter) are not the default behaviour. I would really appreciate Endeavour having this as the default setup. It is very likely what you'd want.

    True, but if snapshots turn from first line of catastrophe response to a regular tool, this is not a good experience.

    Also I believe Garuda has enabled snapshots and btrfs by default.

    Yes, Garuda does, even with bootable snapshots, but it's otherwise not as clean as Endeavour. As far as I can tell, mkinitcpio/GRUB2 or their setup thereof causes more problems than it solves. My system was bricked multiple times until I switched to a dracut/systemd-boot setup, which works flawlessly since quite a while.

    As for the user experience, there are 0 distros you should perform a (major) upgrade on without taking a snapshot first. I had broken systems after apt upgrade. From my point of view rolling vs versioned release are basically occasional mild vs scheduled huge headaches.
