I thought Mint came with Refracta for ISO snapshots
I'm trying out Mint. I've got it configured the way I want, so now I want to make an ISO snapshot. If I recall (this is't quite the first time I've used Mint), isn't Refracta what one uses for that in Mint? I can't find Refracta on my system. Or in the repositories it came with.
I'm running the XFCE version, but I don't assume that makes any difference. Besides, i think that when I saw Refracta before on a prior exploration of Mint, I was probably also using the XFCE version. Ehh, did Mint start using something else for ISOs? Is it Timeshift? I thought that program was for backup, and that's not what I'm doing.

I have used Mint off and on for a number of years and do not remember any application named refracta, so I fired up my VM of Mint MATE v. 20.2. The locate command did not return any results for *refracta*, so I fired up Synaptic and again did not find any reference to *refracta* in searching the package list.
A web search told me that Refracta may refer to either an OS or a tool of some sort.
I am constrained to say that I do not think that Refracta is or has been included in Mint out of the box.
