No, I have a strong stomach from raising seven rug rats into adulthood. To get a taste of how I feel about Windows, imagine yourself bathing in a lukewarm trough of someone else's dirty bathwater. Been there done that. Packed water from the spring for the whole family from age 7 to 12. We got plumb...

Are you repeatedly tapping the Esc key right after you press the power button?

I got it to work by modifying the command to where username is to be replaced by the user's actual name.

Karlchen: I tried those instructions with a fresh install of Mint Cinnamon 20.1 and they did not work.

As for the mount point, Timeshift has to do that to work. It doesn't mean the system partition mounting scheme changed. You can see this by running before and after:

If you want the default location simply use Timeshift and delete all current snapshots, then browse to /var/log/timeshif and delete all logs (you have to right click the log folder and choose "open as root" to delete the logs). Then change the location of the snapshots using Timeshift's se...

If it were UEFI you could boot into the BIOS with It doesn't work with Legacy. I think the F2 key will work.
