Random Black Screen
I am experiencing an odd behavior where at random times after logging in upon start up, it will go to desktop and within seconds maybe close to a minute I will be kicked to the Lock Screen.
If I attempt to log in, after entering my password it just becomes a non-responsive black screen (not even a mouse cursor shows).
I have to hard reboot to resolve the issue and it’s completely random.
Is there any logs I can see to figure out what’s causing this?
I haven’t used rpm-ostree to layer any programs/software, and everything is out of the box.
I’m on NVIDIA-kde-stable edition

ostree pinning
While an ostree is pinned, such as 0, will 1 still be updated, when a new version is released or will 0 be updated since it’s pinned?
If something breaks while on 0, I can rollback to 1. If I do, is it correct that home directory is untouched?

Fault Tolerance
Hello all and thank you for the assistance in advance!
As humans, we tend to stick with what we are familiar with.
As a Windows user jumping ship to Linux, I have AOMEI as a backup/restore system that allows me to restore on the same drive if something corrupts, I make a mistake, what have you. Likewise, I even have the ability to restore my image to a new drive.
I saw Timeshit as an easy way to manage btrfs snapshots and sub volumes, along with Clonezilla (Clonezilla lists btrfs as supported on their website) to do entire system backups (from a Windows perspective this includes all folders on the drive, including Downloads, Users, Etc)
I know Bazzite uses btrfs and to use btrfs features without any tools require all CLI commands, which is very cumbersome and unintuitive to execute.
I also saw that Bazzite doesn’t support Timeshift or snapper.
Here are my actual questions:
1. Other than rolling back and using Pika Backup for home directory, is it possible to use Clonezilla to make system backups if I need to move it to a new drive?
2. How would I go about booting from a snapshot, like you can using Timeshift? It seems the GUI with Timeshift is very intuitive and user friendly.
