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!
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
