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.

Even if you do not use or like this approach, learning tmux is quite easy and quick and super useful. Just that you executed commands do not end when your ssh session crashes, that you can collaborate. Just attach multiple ssh sessions to one tmux session and everything, even the input, will be sync. In advance you get windows and split screen in any terminal.

You might be able to prepare a bag accept that does the switch and run that inside a tmux session. The connection would get lost, but don’t the tmux session did not care the script would finish. Although that would require to have the exact working commands. If anything goes wrong you would have to plug directly into the server.

All I ever used was nmcli and I think it should work for this purpose. It was mostly pre installed. Rasbien as well as Debian had it or installed (the most used distros by me).
