Why is Timeshift not on the official Ubuntu repos? [closed]
It has become a standard, isn't there a way to include it in the discover store?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

To briefly answer the question... it's because Timeshift is the work of a individual software developer.
For those who don't know what Timeshift is...
The closest thing to a Windows-like restore point is by using Timeshift. I use it to save snapshots to an external USB hard drive. Although it can, it's normally not used for backing up your /home directory, just system-level changes. Use Backups (Déjà Dup) for backing up /home files.
Timeshift is a system restore utility which takes snapshots
of the system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored
at a later date to undo system changes. Creates incremental snapshots
using rsync or BTRFS snapshots using BTRFS tools.

Add the PPA and install with:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install timeshift
