I just do full system images for that reason, easier than trying to pick and choose what should be backed up. Used to use Veeam, currently using Synology Active Backup.
For online backups I don’t due to size, but for local backups it’s just way easier.
To install at minimum you’ll need to likely shrink existing partitions and create new ones for linux if you don’t want to wipe the drive, that would be a dual-boot setup with Windows still installed along side. Or you can just wipe the drive entirely and have only Linux.
Regarding the files you should already have backups of anything important, if you don’t, set it up ASAP.
Messing with partitions can easily cause data loss if something goes wrong.
You also never know when hardware failure, malware, power surges, lightning strikes, or whatever other disaster will happen and cause data loss. 1 copy of files might as well be 0 copies.
How did they end up thinking that everything must be done with terminal while using Ubuntu?
Most guides on installing things or help on fixing things will offer terminal commands, so I can see how that could certainly lead to that feeling as a new user.
Also depending on the DE and stuff certain very basic obvious settings are not available in the GUI, like fractional scaling on KDE which has to be done by editing some config file first.
Couldn’t tiling just be done with an app like how PowerToys FancyZones does it on Windows? That way anyone could just install it when wanted.
Awfully rude just because you don’t like something that you have full control of deciding to use or not.
That makes sense as packing for a bunch of distros is a lot of work vs just using Flatpak.
Should be able to do it with Crowdsec
You could also place the same page as a hidden link on your home page.
GPS is one-way receive only, so just using GPS and the others doesn’t compromise privacy.
AMT does at least put a large flashing red/yellow border around your screen if someone is accessing it remotely.
That seems a bit rough combining all those into one, can’t upgrade anything separately.
I’m not sure on the security/safety of combining your gateway and NAS either.
I’ll have to try it out for youtube, I’m on gigabit internet (and hardwired), but youtube will often stall out when trying to buffer part way through videos and take quite awhile to figure itself out.
It’s fairly technically complex to set up a server, and the clients are very fragmented with no standard feature set, OMEMO encryption is also outdated in the libraries used in popular clients.
Overall I’ve tried it a few times, but the clients are just too dated feeling with no good easy to use PC clients.
True, although once per hour would still be a lot of data.
For example me running a fast.com test uses about 1.5GB of data to run a single test, so around 1TB per month if ran hourly.
Fair warning that this would chew through a ton of bandwidth if you run it often, so only do it if you don’t have bandwidth caps.
Works with Nextcloud, Git, or WebDAV and stored the bookmarks as a file.
It’s just weird that after install it can’t detect my hardware and pull the drivers it needs like windows does.
I find quite often that the Live version of a distro will work perfectly, but after install some hardware won’t work anymore.
I’m not sure what you mean?
Out of the box I don’t think windows can read common linux filesystems, but there is 3rd party software I’ve seen to give it that functionality.
