Well yeah obviously like NixOS. My reason for not using it is that they use a non standard Linux filesystem and it renders a # of packages I want to install incompatible.
Just add rescue to kernel options (if you use GRUB, press e to edit it for the current boot) and it will boot into console from which you can do downgrade.
Honestly this is the reason I want an immutable build of Arch like NixOS.
Let me roll back my mistakes and I could live more happily with rolling release.
You mean like nixos-unstable, the rolling release channel of NixOS?

In that case, couldn’t you just use something like btrfs snapshots + Timeshift to pull this off?
Yeah you could put some together I think, possibly with OverlayFS as well.
I feel like the value those distros add is not just the rolling mechanism but the package manager being tied into it.
So you just use the package manager like any other and it works.
You can downgrade packages on arch too via
downgrade.If your pc still boots.
