The pre&post type snapshot is two normal snapshots but YaST2-Snapper
only shows the differences between two. How to make YaST-Snapper
shows them as single type or two normal snapshots as pre&post type?
You can always duplicate any snapshot as a single snapshot.

YaST2-Snapper
is a GUI tool so it looks better, I want it have the function like its commandline.
Well, we all have things we want. However, yast2-snapper is a GUI tool which is set up on top of snapper as a frontend. It just doesnβt carry all features the orginal snapper provides. If you want to change that, feel free to contribute. I couldnβt.
I like Yast2 a lot, but once someone hinted me to Garuda Linux and its implementation, a software called BTRFS Assistant, I want it so badly on openSUSE. Wellβ¦ canβt get everything, I guess
Well, it seems to be available via opi
(openSUSE Package Installer):
# opi btrfs-assistant
Searching repos for: btrfs-assistant
1. btrfs-assistant
2. btrfs-assistant-debuginfo
3. btrfs-assistant-debugsource
Pick a number (0 to quit): 1
You have selected package name: btrfs-assistant
1. home:Dead_Mozay ! | 2.1.1 | x86_64
2. home:Maddie ! | 2.1.1 | x86_64
3. home:MaxxedSUSE ! | 2.1.1 | x86_64

If you donβt have opi yet, just install it with zypper (or YaST).
With opi, a whole new world opens!

Thank you, I donβt know why the package wasnβt found on openSUSE Software with βbtrfsβ as a keyword. But found it now.
A word of caution using home repositories from the build service and also opi itβs not recommended as it can pull in not only unverified packages but also additional unexpected repositories. Use at your own risk, make sure you have good external backups of your important dataβ¦.
Thanks for that addition. I actually am leery (cautious) when seeing home repositories in opi and I should have mentioned that in my post.
