TuxPick

System Restore on Linux

System Restore comes with Windows, so it won't be on a new Linux PC. This free app does the same job, and TuxPick installs it for you.

Install Timeshift with TuxPick

Timeshift

Takes system snapshots so you can roll back if something breaks.

Installs from Ubuntu's own software archive.

How to install on Ubuntu

  1. Press the install button above. TuxPick opens with the app already ticked. Add anything else you need.
  2. Download the installer file.
  3. Open a terminal with Ctrl Alt T, run the one line TuxPick shows you, and type your password when asked.

It works on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, and on systems built on them like Zorin OS and Pop!_OS.
