For whatever reason, openSUSE disables the polkit for Kate that will make it so Kate will prompt for a password when you try to edit root owned files.

This gist includes an enhancement to Debian's snapper package.

The current (as of 2023-07-23) snapper package includes an apt configuration that will automatically take snapper snapshots when you use apt to install/remove/etc. It will add use "apt" as the description of the pre/post snapshot.

With the below changes to the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80snapper file and associated dpkg-pre-post-snapper.sh file, snapper will include the full apt command, including the arguments, in the snapshot description.

For example:

$ sudo apt install funky
