16. You start making weird passive aggressive lists to shame people into your preferred…whatever…

I’m sure it’ll be fine, I’m no expert but i use it it sync/clone my music storage with my music player. There’s thousands of songs, lyrics, and album art getting synced and backed up regularly in my case.

Worst thing that happened to me happened when I was new to the tool and accidentally overwrote my source directory (luckily I had backups)

Why not just use rsync?

Never heard of this trick , but I’d imagine the contents of the jar would get dunked.

If you do decide to break the jar, make sure to score the glass so you get a clean(er) break.

A tomato probably has too much edge for you…

Honestly the modern Linux experience is largely easy to start these days, but there are pitfalls and traps.

A little more than a year ago I was a complete Linux nooby, but I researched and asked questions before jumping in. Then I jumped in (my first distro was endeavour). I asked questions, read forums, tinkered, then broke my shit.

Then I distro hopped between the popular ones (mint, buntu, etc.) before finally settling on Cachy. There were pains along the way but for my use cases the main learning hurdles were learning the compatibility layers and FOSS software alternatives.

I implore you to tread the beaten path, on a tried and tested distro with an active community. Think about your use case, and which flavor of Linux distro better supports your intentions.

Well yes… And?

What goalpost you potato? What was said basically amounts to “your experience differs because of (completely optional customizations)”

I second Cachy, been running this for almost a year now and nothing major has broken.

It seems that these security solutions also, and predicably open up more surface area for problems to arise. If I’m understanding correctly.

I don’t have a method to share myself, as I am just recently exploring privacy and security. I just wanted to let you know that this was a fascinating read.

This is NOT the way to get people to switch. (Lol)
