/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.

Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources.

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Resources: just like in /sqt/ spend at least a minute to check a web search engine with your question.
*Search: qwant, searx, ixquick or startpage.
*Many free software have active mailing lists.
*Many free software has an active bugzilla where you can check and report errors

How does /fglt/ do backups? I have an SSD with few partitions (boot, home, root) and I'd like to back them up. I'd also like the backups to be encrypted. Oh, and I'd like to have something that's maybe incremental so I don't have to copy gigs of data every time I back up.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance bros!

Just noticed there was a new thread so Im posting again.

So I want to extend my /home directory using the free space I took from my windows partition.
Gparted looks like pic related.

I need some insight into how would I go about doing that.

thanks Jow Forums

anyone else have zd1211-firmware pop up in their AUR? I didn't install it but now it has an "update"

aur.archlinux.org/packages/zd1211-firmware/

was it deprecated and removed from the normal arch repo? I have had stuff installed that was removed from the arch repo then it would show up in the AUR

What does everybodys .bashrc look like?

Shrink the grey bits in GParted.

interesting, that may be the case
