Break your system with a bad update? Just reboot, pick a snapshot, and restore with one click. Setting this up manually on Fedora takes hours — Ludora does it automatically. See how it works →
Both editions include bootable snapshots
System Recovery
Ludora automatically creates bootable Btrfs snapshots before and after every system update. If something breaks, just reboot, select a snapshot from GRUB, and restore your system to a working state.
All snapshots appear in your boot menu. Choose any previous state of your system.
A popup asks if you want to restore from this snapshot. Click yes, reboot, and you're back to a working system.
Snapshots are created automatically before and after DNF package operations. No manual intervention needed.
openSUSE-style integration with GRUB means every snapshot is bootable. No live USB needed for recovery.
Test new kernels, drivers, or updates with confidence. You're always one reboot away from a working system.
Setting up bootable Btrfs snapshots on Fedora manually is surprisingly complicated. The default Anaconda installer doesn't support the subvolume layout needed, so it requires manual post-install configuration before installing and setting up snapper, grub-btrfs, and DNF plugins.
Ludora handles all of this automatically during installation using a custom Calamares configuration. You get openSUSE-style snapshot protection on Fedora's stable base, with zero manual setup required.

Transparency
No marketing fluff. Just the facts.
Ludora is in public beta. The ISO is functional and tested, but expect rough edges. Automatic snapshots work, the custom kernel is stable, and gaming works out of the box. This is a personal project, not a commercial product.
If you're comfortable with Fedora or Linux in general, and you want a gaming-focused system with automatic rollback capabilities, this is for you.
Ludo is Latin for "I am playing." The second half nods to Fedora, the distribution it's built on. Simple etymology.
