Just after I sent the response above, I thought to myself that what

which claims to be able to do this for several different Linux
distributions. I have
zero experience with it, but it sounds like a (class of) program(s)
that would be useful
in a lot of cases. When I get a chance, I might set it up on my
personal machines.
If it works well, I would be much more willing to upgrade to newer
releases on my
daily use machines. Does anybody out there have experience with timeshift or
similar programs for Linux?

I don't know about the above mentioned utilities but I do
know that there is a keep cache option to the Fedora updater
that allows you to keep a prior version cached locally. It
takes up space and I don't know how fine a granularity it
can be tuned.
MS does similar if you want roll back capability.
