I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.
Are you serious? It actually does that? So you have a usb stick with the live environment, then you boot into that environment, then from there you install borg, plug in the other stick that has the back then just restore onto the internal drive and restart? Is that correct?

That’s fantastic. That means they’ll focus more on quality, not just profit for the blackholes, I mean shareholders. I don’t use suse, but I’m very happy this is happening.
It feels like twitter is like a water tank that has a lot of holes and Elon is trying to put duct tape on those holes all at the same time to contain the water. Scrambling around not knowing what to do having only two hands and a million hole to patch with a tape that doesn’t even stick. Run that through your head 😂
Holy shit, this actually did make a huge difference for me. I normally follow this reddit post www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/…/dq5afi0/, and it does really good for me. Then I’d also change mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y to between 25 and 40 and I’m set. These two you posted made it even better. Thank you for this. Gonna save this post for future reference
I am a Linux user, but I don’t really know how most things work, even after years of casual use on my Main, I just started getting into Devuan and wondered then, what exacly does systemd do that most distros have it? What even is init freedom? And why should I care?
Hi all I have a quick question. Is it better for my zsh shell to be in /usr/bin/zsh or /bin/zsh. I remember reading that one of them would mess up the whole system since zsh is not posix compliant. I believe that szh shouldn’t be set as the root shell. I now have it in /usr/bin/zsh, is that good? So now when I drop into a root...
I’m not trying to move any of these two directories, I’m just trying to set the zsh shell as the default and didn’t know which one to choose since there are two.
I’ve had a major issue with btrfs and nvme. Not sure if you have a laptop or a desktop, but it works fine on my desktop and shit on the laptop. Snapshots still didn’t save my system the other day when the system broke in the middle of a kernel upgrade. I even had snapshots in grub. I still had to reinstall to be able to access the system. I was also told that xfs is much better. Haven’t tried it yet. I personally don’t care for btrfs, and I’m using the tried and true ext4 and it’s been serving me very well. I have the root and home partitions separated in case shit goes haywire.
I’ve always wanted to try opensuse. I have, but I was confused with their package manager. I was too lazy to figure it all out. I may give it a try. Also, I hated their installed for manual partitioning. It was overly complicated for me. I’ll mess with it in a VM to learn more about how to manually partition and also mess with their package manager more.
I think the package manager isn’t hard to figure out. I do need to study the installer very hard so I can learn its ins and outs. I need my partitions separate. Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it
I actually know about this one. I thought it was the coolest shit ever. I’m seriously gonna look into it. I have always respected suse, but just never gave it a chance
No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

Users notice that Zoom changes privacy policy to expressly allow them to use your private Zoom chats, video calls and other services to train A.I. and this IS NO OPT OUT.
There is always a free and open source alternatives to this garbage. Imagine if the government funded these open source projects. Jitsi is a good open source alternative to zoom. It’s rough around the edges, but a good funding can turn it around to be better than zoom. That way, even the government can use it and doesn’t have to deal with zoom’s privacy nightmare.
We need a company like framework, or system76 or a similar consumer friendly company to make us a printer and end all this bullshit. I’m so sick of these assholes.
Hi all, Just wanted to know, do these all work the same? I have ext4, so no snapshots on timeshift, but I’m using it now to back up to an external SD card. I have heard good things about Pika and dejadup, and had some mishaps with timeshift. So, my question is, do they all do the same thing? Like, if I messed up something, can...
I believe so. I have read so much shit and yes nvme and btrfs don’t like each other. Some people say because of timeshift, some say because of swap file. I just removed btrfs and used ext4 and end it all. Now no issues
It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want.

I mean why do you think our yearly military budget is getting closer to 1 trillion dollars? We slave our asses to death and fund this shit, and watch execs make millions while we are barely making it.
I don’t normally say this on many things (bullshit, I do all the time), but I will believe it when I see it. We can finally actually have a life beside work? Nah, ain’t gonna happen
:( I’m ok with it if it even happened for our kids, not us. I’d leave this life very happy knowing my son wouldn’t suffer and slave himself to death like I did.
Easy. It’s all about religion. Not that Republican politicians care about religion, their voters do. So, politicians do what their religious voters want. Banning abortion is one of them.
So, recently, I bought an nvme ssd to replace the very old ssd I have on my laptop. I don’t know what the non-nvme is called. It shows as “sda” on the system. Anyway, doubled the storage. The new drive is an nvme WD black SN770. I have the same one running just fine on an optiplex dell mini running endeavourOS. Zero...
Damn, where were you before I nuked the whole system and installed ext4? I mean, I can still try it since I’d only need to reinstall the system onto the root partition after changing it to btrfs. But my system now works flawlessly with no issue. Also, I hate anaconda with a passion. It never works when I manually partition and then reinstall the system on the root partition. It always creates failure. I don’t know why fedora uses this ass installer. Just fucking use calameres and call it a day
So you really think disabling quotas would fix the freezing issue? Man, I’d love that. Btrfs/timeshift/snapshots JUST saved my ass on the desktop where an update got fucked in the middle of a kernel update and there was nothing to boot into after that. I have snapshots added to grub and I just rolled back and saved my fucking system. Now I REALLY want to try that quotas option if you think it’ll fix the issue
Man, I really hate these little vague issues. Fuck it. I’ll just keep ext4. I’m going to sacrifice snapshots for my sanity. I spent like 4 days troubleshooting this shit until I found out it was btrfs. If I fuck up the system I’ll just reinstall since I have the home partition separate
You’re right, snapshots don’t save you all the time like an actual back up. Yesterday I backed up the whole system to an external drive via Pika. I feel so much better about it. I do have a nas, so I might throw a copy of the back there, too. Thank you for explaining things, I really appreciate it.
Just wanted to report back. I’ve nuked the whole install, didn’t partition this time. Set it up on xfs and I have zero wake after suspend issues now. It’s been two days since I did that and still haven’t had a single issue. Thank you for suggesting xfs. Might sound dumb, but never knew about it until you mentioned it. Lol

Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool
I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.
