    The whole point of Linux to me is I have complete freedom, choice and control of my pc.

    The price you pay is the same though, you have the freedom, choice and control of everything your pc does, and if you do something wrong you can break it.

    Windows protects you from yourself by giving you almost no freedom, choice and control. That way you can’t break it.

        Yeah, again though, that’s a free choice you control. Something you chose to setup.

        I personally backup my entire root filesystem to a nas, and update it reasonably regularly. And keep all personal and data files on the nas. Then have a regular automated backup process for the nas.

        Many ways to skin a cat as they say. None better than any others, just choices and options. The beauty of Linux 👍

          Not sure if it was preinstalled or I did it, but it was the first one I tried and it was so simple to use and setup. I don’t have the storage to do what you do, though that is a great approach I may look into when the nand prices return to the realm of reason
