Okay, at least that gives me an idea, thanks
Thanks will check that out đ
I'm going to do the same later this year as like you my setup is 10 years plus, though I'll re-install Arch again What MB, GPU card etc did you buy? , as I'm out of touch with the latest equipment now, so would be grateful for a heads up
For information there was a bĂȘta update this morning , Android 14 (08 March 24)
How about Cron? If it's just for copying your files / data, super easy to set up and extremely rapid, it doesn't do snapshots, it's just a simple 'copy my file to another place', but it works đ
Use timeshift, install it, just chose where you want the backups to be installed, preferably a second HD or SD Flash. Chose when like once a day, week at start up for instance and forget it. Then if you screw up your Linux, just start in console mode, timeshift --restore and five mins later your up and running.
If you want just your data to be copied, then Cron
Both are standard Linux programs, often already installed depending on what Linux you have
Though to late to help you, when you get it working again, install Timeshift, so that instead of faffing around to try and suss out what went wrong, you just start timeshift -- restore from the console and a couple of minutes later you'll have your working setup back. It's saved my bacon quite a few times in the last couple of years, especially when you can't login to your DE.
Until a couple of days yi would have said Liftoff but I must admit Boost seems slightly better, the pro version, the free version with ads is awful, but at only 3.50 euros that's not expensive and worth the money
I've gone from the beta that I've been using since it came out, now to the beta QPR1 Beta 2
Haven't even seen the stable version. Probably should have opted out somewhere đ€Ł
I'm running a Debian Bookworm on a Zotac Tiny PC, plus Docker and Mosquitto with HomeAssitant supervisor installed and a Sonoff usb dongle P. No ZigBee2MQTT. To begin with the Dongle was recognised by HA, natively running ZHA, all worked okay. Then I added ZigBee2MQTT as a add-on in HA, linked it to my Mosquitto account, added MQTT as an add-on as you need it as well. The difference is enormous, as I now have a ZigBee Dashboard, many more options were seen by the ZigBee2MQTT on the devices that I had installed that weren't seen by the ZHA, I was even able to update certain firmware on my switches.
Yet another android 14 beta update this morning UPB.5230623.009 Only 21Mb in size
Exactly the same for me, 26Hb, no Swap installed, never had a freeze or a problem in the two years using Arch
Another small beta update today, before the final comes available 5.230623.006
Grab a second SSD or HD, that way, keep windows in one as it will be probably be supplied with the computer. Add Linux to the other disk, Debian maybe, EndeavourOs much better. ThNo dual boot. And when starting to computer just choose which disk you want to use (F8 or F12 often) and later if and when ready, you wipe the windows HD and use it for backups
Crossfit, mixture of weights, cardio, gym etc. For me by far the best sport as it combines everything, there's a lot of weight movements in it though mostly bars, squats, bench press, snatches, deadlifts etc and you certainly won't get bored
Yes, this was a strange one, as my phone told me it was installed and just needed to boot this morning, normally i have to tell it to download first, so a strange one...
I've stopped using lineage as i changed the pixel3 for a 6a, so stock android. Although at the time I could get PayPal to work my banking app was a no no
Yesterday, Sunday 20th another beta 14. Xx became available even though the last one was meant to be the last one, not sure what was modified

It sounds like the best option would be a dual boot, Linux for everything except games and when you want to play just boot into Windows. If you do this i would strongly suggest a two HD set up, one for windows and one for Linux, for two reasons, if you don't like Linux then you still have the original windows setup, two Windows will at one moment wipe the dual boot grub and you'll 'lose' the Linux startup, unless you have one OS per Hard Disk. I don't game anymore. Like you I also have an old card Gtx760 đ€Łđ€Ł
Try Lineage. I ran it on my Pixel 3 for about two years when Google stopped updating it. Then when I decided to sell it, just reflashed the Google OS back on it
Like you i switched from about 30 years of windows to Linux almost three years ago, Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Endeavour before ending up with Arch which I find perfect. I also have two PCs running Debian for HomeAssitant setups in two homes but I don't like Debian I sometimes use my wife's Windows setup for Garmin Express as that's the only windows program that I need. So keep on going, Windows is not missed,
I've used Joplin for years now before was Evernote. I like it because it's open source and the syncing option is built in, exemple either to Dropbox or NextCloud (I use both these options, DB only because I have a free option of 12gB otherwise I would use just NC) The syncing is painless as as I said built-in. It's not a pretty app, fairly plain, but it works perfectly, on my android and Linix PCs, Arch and Debian. I did try Obsidian once. It's pretty, but not being open source put me of. Try it again, takes minutes to set up, as again open source and works well
Thanks, I thought so, but preferred to ask. Thrn yes much better than a Pi and if yours is like mine then not much bigger
First dopey question, what is a NUC? It's probably a computer but? If so same'ish story here went from a Pi4 to a Lenovo Tiny PC (reconditioned from Amazon at 100 euros) then sold the raspberry for 65 euros đ€Ł Far faster and better, installed Debian Bookworm, Docker and then did a new Mosquitto and HA supervisor installation. Far better đ
The lasted beta 14.5 is available for download this morning (27/7/2023]
For the moment I have two accounts lemm.ee and lemmy.world, when i switch from lemm.ee, My account is all filled in, my subscriptions etc all is fine, but I switch to lemmy.world, it loosing my name, subscriptions etc, as shows me logged as Anonymous, see screenshot. Other than that, great app đ
I've been trying for yonks (>two full days, plus crashing HA along the way) to get duckdns to work on my home assistant, so that I can remote access it from my telephone. Without success. There are pages and pages of people trying to get it to work, with multiple suggestions, mostly without success. I then came across Tailscale, it took me all of ten minutes to set it up, and WORKING. Whow, so hope this helps anybody trying to get remote access to their home assistant. This is not a publicity for Tailscale or Duckdns, just I'm so pleased to get it finally working.
The lasted beta 14.4 for your #Google #pixel is out and can be downloaded, it seems quite small as downloaded and installed quite quickly
Old & Deaf, but still not dead đ€Ł Far too much sport for my age. Arch Linux user, and now Debian for a HomeAssitant setup. Open source user where possible, computers and gadgets to keep me occupied & thinking. https://www.minty95.com
