Stable, fully foss and commonly used.

In my first install I had different home and root partitions. That was a big mistake. Once set, you cannot resize them properly and you are fucked if they are not perfect for your need. In my case the root partition got to small. After some time I just reinstalled with a single partition and would do that again.

What distro are you on?

I hope you have success. Ventoy is a cool tool, but those binaries suck!

Thanks for your explanation.

What does the license change actually mean? What are the differences?

As far as I know, by definition, at least restic is not incremental. It is a mix of full backup and incremental backup.

Thanks for your hint towards borgbackup.

After reading the Quick Start of Borg Backup they look very similar. But as far as I can tell, borg can be encrypted and compressed while restic is always. You can mounting your backups in restic to. It also seems that restic supports more repository locations such as several cloud storages and via a special http server.

I also noticed that borg is mainly written in python while restic is written in go. That said I assume that restic is a bit faster based on the language (I have not tested that).

Thats awesome!

I hate that they had “never will” in there. Seems like a broken promise.

Yeah. The idea of random stuff nesting into my pc where I will never find it again is also a big pain. That said using distroboy would make it much cleaner I guess.

How can such thing happen? Was an account hacked that had the permissions?

It seems that you are not aware in what format you installed your apps.

Before you install an app, be aware what format it is, that you are installing. Is it a debian package installed via the apt cli or via some store gui? Is it a snap package? Is it an appimage? Is it a flatpak? All of these are different and can have different issues (advantages/disadvantages). Often the same app is available in multiple formats.

This is a great video explaining what formats are out there: https://youtu.be/1lLZ-59xH3Y

A have never used mint and only used debian as a Workstation. If there is a permissions issue with an application, my first thought is how you installed you application?

When you say, you cant easily get tonthe content of a drive, what Desktop Environment do you us3 and what file explorer?

Switching Windows never works for me. When the audio does not work, I can always fix it by double toggeling the audio button/checkbox.

Why?

Why do you consider discord as spyware?

That is super cool. Can we might simulate it in a virtual environment? If so, would that be the first matrix like virtual world?

I killed my windows partition a week ago as well.

I feel like Windows tries with every change to push it’s users to Linux.
