#linuxMint mirror data

Could anyone recommend an application to mirror automatically (like every day) a directory to an external SSD for back up reasons? bonus if no AI slop is involved.
and yes, in this use case it's desired to actually mirror everything.

I would be very grateful for your recommendations, I'm low on time and energy right now.

Mój najstarszy post na usenetowej grupie alt.pl.comp.os.linux.newbie jaki udało mi się znaleźć. Powinno być sporo starszych, ale nie wiem, czy w ogóle jest jakiś sposób, by do nich jeszcze dotrzeć.

Zapomniałem wczoraj wrzucić w wątku o budowaniu przeglądarki archiwów Usenetu, więc niech będzie dzisiaj luzem.

My mom is ready to move to linux, but since I'm a newbie myself, I need to ask you for help with this:
Apart from mails and surfing, she also uses her pc to back up her phone pictures. She copies them to her pc ad there's an external hard drive connected to it. We set up automatic mirroring of the files from the pc to the external ssd. So she basically doesn't have to take care for it except dropping her files to her computer.

I'd appreciate any help with this :)

Why "bye-bye WiFi"?

Perhaps you could help me out with a hint?

So, I have LMDE 7 'Gigi' up and running on my PC - alongside my Windows installation.
Now I have a lot to learn - some more urgent than other. Here us my primary issue to address.
I loose my WiFi connection. Here is the pattern:

I close down my PC every evening.
1. New day. I boot and choose Linux.
2. It starts and I log on.
3. For a short while I am connected to my WiFi and the Internet ... and then the connection is lost. At this point I can no longer connect. Sometimes I can still see the connection (the name), most times it is gone.

(a workaround)

5. I reboot and choose Windows 11
6. Windows starts and connects to my WiFi.
7. Then I restart and choose Linux again
8. It starts, and a stable connection to my WiFi is established.

I do not yet know how to fix the issue.
Do you have an idea about, what the problem is? Maybe a hint to, where I should start?

Yep, I use it sometimes, although #newbies deserve a #warning: It can be very #slow, so don't judge the #OS's speed after that. Better try on a #USBstick to make sure.

currently installing #linuxmint alongside Windows 11 on my daily driver laptop (finally)

As a Linux newbie I found verifying the ISO image to be the most confusing part. But I must say @linuxmint does provide excellent installation documentation so I never got completely lost ;)

Frage an die #Techbubble hier:

Ich brauche privat einen neuen Rechner und möchte dabei von Chromebook auf #Linux umsteigen. Bevorzugt ein Gebrauchtgerät (zB bei AfB https://www.afb-group.de/shop/?L=0)

Anforderung: bißchen Textverarbeitung und Tabellenkalkulation (einfachere Berechnungen), Internet natürlich und Bildbearbeitung (Darktable). Eher klein und leicht, externer Monitor vorhanden.

Ich hab vor vielen Jahren schon mal Linux verwendet, aber nie installiert o.ä.

I just started to add Hyprland to my Linux Notebook. That is a lot of tooling and customizing involved to get it working.

But after around 5 hours I think most stuff I do want is there and working. Now I just do search for an Conky alternative to list my system information to the background.

Last step is ricing, this will be fun without any css knowledge 😂

#bash has a bunch of built-in shortcuts and key commands that help you get around the #linux command line. Some may be a little antiquated , but others are REALLY useful.

Today, on Into the Terminal, we're going to show you some of these shortcuts, come join us! Maybe you'll learn something new! We'll be live in a bout 20 minutes!

@kern also probably should get the most recent version, my installer usb is for neo cause I'd been putting things off for just that long lol #endeavouros #linuxnewbie

Went to try to install endeavor os on my laptop alongside Windows the other night... The only drive i had enough free space on was my secondary drive. And it still only will boot to Windows, even when i try to have it boot from the other drive to load endeavor. Sounds like it's time for me to just back up my windows-side files and just go all-in on endeavor on there. #endeavouros #linuxnewbie

[probleme réglé ] Coucou masto, j'ai une question Linux. Je suis sur Kde /Kubuntu et bien que tout marche mais y'a un soucis où certaines application refuse d'appliquer la disposition de clavier du système. Genre steam, signal etc mais parcontre firefox pas de soucis. J'ai essayé de fouiller sur des forums mais je comprends pas trop le language des devs x) et pas envie de toucher à des choses sensibles et tout casser.
J'utilise Plasma / wayland. Le fichier qui liste le profile est bien en Fr donc je comprends pas l'insistance du qwerty.
C'est un peu relou mais je peux quand meme utiliser le pc trql.
Merci d'avance si vous avez des conseils / d'avoir lu. 🐇

I'm in a progress of looking at PC parts to buy to build my very own PC. Does Linux support HDR for gaming and video content? This isn't an huge deal for me if it isn't but just more a nice bonus if it does.

I just installed Resident Evil (GOG Version) via Lutris. I notice when trying to run a pre-render video cutscene that it's an black screen instead of displaying the video. The video file is .avi if it helps much.

I would appreciate some advice on a #Linux #distro recommendation:
The Device: A 2012 laptop with a 3rd Gen Core i3, 4 GB of RAM, and a spinning HDD (maybe I'll upgrade in the future)
The person it's for: My mom, not very tech savvy, is using Windows 10, will need a replacement for when 10 goes EOL Oct. 2025. Has used Windows Vista, 8, and 10. Everything she does is doable within basic apps like a web browser, simple office suite, or pleasant desktop apps; Linux alternatives will work perfectly.
What the distro has to be: LTS, simple to maintain, have a workable Windows-like interface, not be Ubuntu. Needs to run smoothly on the provided specs.
Any ideas and help are appreciated. Consider boosting for more perspectives.

I'm maybe looking at upgrading the Wi-Fi card on my laptop. Is getting any Wi-Fi card should be alright for Linux or would I need to get certain ones?

I did check online of the specs of the current Wi-Fi card and the it has the PCIe Half MiniCard solt

Suggestions and advice for a Linux newbie

While I can’t make the jump to Linux as my daily driver, I’m interested in trying it out more seriously.

I have two computers currently: a 2018 MacBook Pro and a 2024 custom built desktop running Windows 11 Home. My Windows 11 desktop is my daily driver. Like I mentioned before, the only things really keeping me on Windows 11 are Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom and Windows-exclusive Steam games like Microsoft Flight Simulator. Everything else I use is compatible with Linux.

My previous OS experiences have been with macOS and Windows so I’m not picky about interfaces. Terminal goes a bit over my head at the moment but as I gain experience I’m sure it’ll become a familiar tool I can lean on when necessary. I do very little coding and don’t do anything fancy with files. I value privacy and would like to keep telemetry to a minimum, ideally none whatsoever. If something goes butt-up I would like something with a good community of users I can poke for assistance.

The distros that seem most in line with my preferences are Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and Fedora. If there are any other popular distros out there lemme know and I’ll take a peek.
