## TL;DR

Every set of changes to the underlying system is executed on a new inactive snapshot, which will be the one the system will boot into on the next reboot.

```sh
# Upgrade the system.
sudo transactional-update dup
pkcon update

# Install a package.
sudo transactional-update pkg install tlp ntfs-3g fuse-exfat nano
pkcon install gnu_parallel

# Get a shell on the next snapshot.
# Lets you use zypper.
sudo transactional-update shell
sudo tukit execute bash
```
