What do you use to back up local files from Linux to external hard drive?
I have been using rsnapshot, but maybe there are better solutions out there?
Does anyone have an experience with btrfs and snapshots? Do you trust it?

Hello, I’m facing some rather annoying issues with running KDE6 on Wayland. Despite consulting the Arch Wiki and various online resources, I haven’t been able to get it working. X11 works fine, so I’ve been sticking with X exclusively due to my limited experience with desktop Linux and troubleshooting....
Its working since months, so I guess you have the drivers installed. For me I needed the „wayland-protocols“ package to work on my RTX3070
And the obvious once others have pointed out, the kernel parameters

Statt mit live USB rumzuüben, kannst auf distrosea.com (unbedingt einen guten adblocker nutzen) so einige live distro‘s direkt im browser testen ohne dafür immer wieder ein iso auf den usb zu brennen
@etebur
I tried out standard notes but didn‘t met my expectations so deleted again, right now looking in joplin as well as I like the option to E2EE it to onedrive/nextcloud or others and it has ios and linux apps
Thinking about my Linux installation, Garuda Linux. It's great, I mean really really good, but it's run by the type of Linux Elitists that look down on users like me and I don't feel particularly welcome or keen to become part of that community*. So I'm considering a hop to a new Distro.
I'm used to Arch distros now (RIP Antergos) and I really appreciate Rolling Releases so the first candidate that springs to mind is Manjaro Linux. It even has an unnofficial Gamer Edition "spin" (fork).
What's more, I could use Manjaro to obliterate that Windows partition that still exists on my SSD, preserving all the data in my Garuda Home directory and simply copy it over between the dual Linuxes. Then I delete Garuda and expand Manjaro across the whole 2TB SSD.
Two birds, one stone? 😃 Am suspicious, solutions are rarely this neat...🤔☺️
*Like the Fedi, the political attitudes of certain groups (Distros/Instances) tends to be something you find out after you've joined up. Distrowatch needs a checkbox for Linux Elitism 😁
Don‘t want to dig up old posts, but wanted to update you since you took quite some time trying to help - it works now! I replaced the MoBo and everything works no smoothly on the new MoBo!
Thanks again so so much for the very appreciated help!
Ok I nearly lost hope, since not being able to figure it out.
PLEASE. SEND. HELP.
_ First: this might gonna get a long one, but I‘m desperately looking for help!
Second: I‘m a total newb on Linux, so I have really limited Linux know-how.
Specs:
Asus ROG Strix G15DS-R7700X088W
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
2x 1TB SSDs; 1x M2 NVME with W11 running, 1x SATA
Goal:
Running Dual Boot with W11 on the first, M2 SSD (already running fine) and Linux (Nobara preferred) on the second, SATA SSD
Problem I run into:
I can‘t boot even from the LiveUSB without the „acpi=off“ option. If I do, I get just a black Screen (with Backlight still on) or, if I get into the Grub options first, there‘s only „booting command list“ visible but nothing else happens (even with „quiet“ disabled, no info on the Screen at all).
One thing I noticed, since my Keyboard, Mouse and Mousemat (Razerfly) have lighting, when I try to boot without the acpi=off, they go dark. And stay dark. With acpi=off the keyboard alone goes dark but then lights up again after 2-3 seconds.
If I run it with acpi=off, I can boot and install, but I then have to boot every time with acpi=off. This leads to the graphics driver not being recognized by the OS and running always in 1024x768 „software rendering“ resolution (even with proper drivers installed and enabled and nouveau on blacklist). So just let „acpi=off“ enabled isn‘t an option.
I did, after researching for several hours, try with various other options (nomodeset, acpi=ht, pci=biosirq, noapic, nolapic, and so on, tried a ton of those) but nothing did the trick - always black screen of death without acpi=off.
I did update my BIOS to the latest Version (306), did try every possibilty of options enabled/disabled (Fast Boot, Secure Boot, IOMMU, acpi settings in BIOS, secondary on-board Graphics,…) with no change.
Since I ran out of options (in relation to my google and reddit search skills), knowledge (total newb on Linux) and possibility to ask friends (that know more about linux than me), I‘m desperate enough to ask for help.
You are my last hope, before giving up on Linux with my PC.
If someone has an idea I could try or even a solution, I‘d be endlessly thankful!
If I missed some info or something is needed, don‘t hesitate to as for specific details._
taken with acpi=off boot.
Since without acpi=off it's not possible to boot and there is absolutely no output after grub (as if the kernel wouldn't load at all) there simply nothing to show ...
Yep, saw this entries already and tried with it. To no change unfortunately.
Did some research and also found the suggest to try with acpi=noirq noapic
but also tried to no change.
Regarding the BIOS options, I did also check for these options, bug they simply aren‘t there 🤷🏻♂️ but will look again after those. Got told that this error might be due to the acpi=off thingy
@darth
did test that as well, but didn't help as the kernel didn't boot up at all.
In the end, after also trying to reach out to ASUS Support (and ofc without any proper solution from their side), I did replace my custom built, noname, (trash) motherboard and now it works flawless.
So, I think it was something with the ACPI/DSDT Tables f'd up on the old MoBo and ASUS just couldn't (or didn't want to) fix that...
