Garuda Linux is a rolling release distro based on Arch Linux with BTRFS as the default filesystem, with easy rollbacks from GRUB

Having spent two days exploring the wonderful features of the BTRFS file system (copy-on-write, fast auto snapshots, rollbacks, RAID across different sized drives, etc) and having converted my /home partition to BTRFS, I was exploring possibly doing my / boot partition too, but I see so many people asking how it can be done and is there no distro already doing it. Yes you can set it up yourself, but it is quite a learning curve. Well, Suse does BTRFS by default, but on the Arch side, Manjaro does not.

Now I found Garuda Linux which is essentially as friendly as Manjaro Linux (same installer), with desktop choices for KDE, Xfce, GNOME, LXQt-kwin, Wayfire, Qtile, BSPWM, i3wm and Sway. So that makes it a rolling Arch distro with BTRFS with zstd compression already in place by default, with Timeshift for doing the snapshotting, and it is even configured to have GRUB ready for quick and easy rollbacks if needed.
