Lots of negative comments here, I'm guessing from people who have been propagandized to the point that they can't believe China could do something better than everyone else without cheating. There could be a little bit of racism baked into it as well.
It's time to realize that the country that manufactures almost everything has gotten very good at manufacturing (and design)!
I'm anti-authoritarian, but you've got to give merit where it's due.
Yep. Bear in mind that if you rsync to a remote computer, it will encrypt the traffic and it will be slow, encryption can be disabled but I don't remember how right now.
Rsyncing to a local drive should be faster.
With -P you can resume partial file transfers, should it be interrupted.
Empty the trash folder and delete cache, it will save you a lot of time and disk space.
-1. Backup your home directory with rsync -Paz /home/username destination, this will keep modified dates and copy dotfiles. No asterisks at the end of the path. Restore with the opposite command
0 If your /home directory is on a separate partition, you could try preserving it for the new installation, this will keep all your stuff in place.
1 When I did this, Nextcloud had no problem identifying files correctly, just make sure to not alter file dates
2 User applications should save their configs in your home directory, so the above should keep them safe, but explore each specific app's behavior.
3 Cinnamon is kinda like KDE in philosophy but based on GTK instead of Qt. It's not bad, but KDE is so good these days that it's hard to compete.
4 Idk, I haven't used Arch in like a decade, but IMHO you're currently on the best distro available when it comes to reliability and compatibility, so I guess you could expect less of those. If you have secure boot I think you'll have to jump through a few hoops that Fedora had spared you... you may want to disable it temporarily.
5 If you have multiple disks with the same capacity, disconnect them all except the one you want to install your OS to.
Only ones I could find were the virtual desktop support (though I had an alternative desktop back in the XP or Vista days that supported that, so not really groundbreaking), and WSL, which I didn’t have any use cases for.
Wait, what do you mean? 10 had virtual desktops and WSL (LSW!) too
This is true. But remember that Microsoft has an incomprehensible amount of money and if the bubble bursts Anthropic may survive but not at the same value.
I don't need to look into nVidia's history, I lived through it. I started gaming when graphical accelerators weren't a thing, so I had the chance to see things happen.
