@itsfoss What I relly miss is a PDM/PLM/DMS like aproach for the Filesystem. I had it in several companies and it made your life so much easier.
I would like to have all files in my home and /etc file versioned. Every change is revertable. All versions should be acessible by cli and also navive acessible from Gnome or KDE Filemanager.
Why the heck is it so complicated to get a native Version management.
Never ever bother with overwriting or change a file again.

@MicKet @itsfoss it's called btrfs, or rsync if you already formatted your drive as something else (timeshift is the easiest to use but I like to use snapper)

@nekomimi @itsfoss
I played around with that but every approach is difficult to configure and to use and at the end is also not fully integrated in a simple usable way into cli, Gnome and KDE.

@MicKet @itsfoss actually specifically with snapper on tumbleweed it's kinda close to what you want it, you could create a menu service to add some rollback tools to dolphin (kde's file manager)
In tumbleweed using yast you can view a list of changed files and revert them to the version you want by using a GUI
