snapper - filesystem snapshot management

Excerpt from man: Snapper is a command-line program for filesystem snapshot management. It can create, delete and compare snapshots and undo changes done between snapshots. Snapper never modifies the content of snapshots. Thus snapper creates read-only snapshots if supported by the kernel. Supported filesystems are btrfs as well as snapshots of LVM logical volumes with thin-provisioning.

In modern usage, the word “origami” is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin.

Tear free desktop on Intel graphics

Excerpt from man intel, option “TearFree”: Disable or enable TearFree updates. This option forces X to perform all rendering to a backbuffer prior to updating the actual display. It requires an extra memory allocation the same size as a framebuffer, the occasional extra copy, and requires Damage tracking. Thus enabling TearFree requires more memory and is slower (reduced throughput) and introduces a small amount of output latency, but it should not impact input latency.
