Check this out: An "MX Snapshot Tool" but for other distros (Arch/Deb-based, etc.)

Hey everyone. My debian distro of choice is MX Linux and one of the reasons is it's a more functional and lighter Debian with exclusive tools like MX Snapshot.

The past few weeks I've been searching for the Arch-based version of MX Linux wherein I can still do MX Snapshot functions.

I heard of Linux Live Kit (https://www.linux-live.org/), but I don't understand the documentation yet and how to use it, even with the help of Google Bard AI and Bing Chat AI.

The most viable alternative I've found so far is penguins-eggs, which is FOSS and available with way better documentation at: https://penguins-eggs.net/

We have a facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/penguins.eggs/

Penguins-eggs can do MX Snapshot things for many Arch-based and Debian-based distros as well as BlendOS. RPM-distros coming soon.

We need more testers! :) Join the fun.

Snapshot works perfect mate. No need to test anything. Thanks though.

These are the MX Forums. I'm puzzled. How does this help us?

Well... not everything needs to help us. It's a call for people who want to test stuff, there's nothing bad with this.
Maybe these testers will see some nice features we are missing in Snapshot and request them. Free flow of ideas improve things.
