timeshift: List snapshots.
$ sudo timeshift --list
try on your machine

The command "sudo timeshift --list" is used in a Linux operating system to generate a list of available snapshots created by the Timeshift tool with administrative privileges (sudo).

Timeshift is a backup and restore utility that creates snapshots of the system files and settings, allowing users to revert their system to a previous state in case of issues or errors.

By using the "--list" option, the command requests Timeshift to display a list of available snapshots on the system, including their date, time, and other relevant information. This output assists users in identifying the snapshots they can choose from when performing system restoration.
