It’s worth a try, though in my experience it can struggle with very large files.

Sure, I pretty much use the method explained here for weekly backups: https://fedoramagazine.org/btrfs-snapshots-backup-incremental/
Btrfs for everything these days, subvolume snapshots have been game-changing for me for doing backups.
as did CentOS before it
Fedora is older than CentOS?
Last Windows I used exclusively was 98. I dual-booted XP at home but gave it up when I realised Linux had everything I need and I never used the Windows partition. Still had to use Windows 7 at work for a few years but since then I’ve worked in a position where I can bring my own OS.
Begs the question what’s the point in all of this? In 20 or so years of using Linux (usually maintaining multiple systems at once) I’ve had a kernel panic maybe about 4 times for different reasons, and on those occasions the console debug info was fine. I don’t really understand the excitement around making error messages look more like Windows. It can’t be around being more newbie friendly since if you’re having kernel panics you probably need to be an expert or have expert advice anyway.
OnlyOffice is nowhere near as full-featured as LO, as well as having huge performance issues especially when dealing with large spreadsheets. I have no idea why it keeps getting recommended.
It hasn’t had a meaningful update in ~10 years, and the problem is it still has the brand recognition which keeps potential users away from LibreOffice. It’s an embarrassment to Apache if you ask me.

I love Gnome but I think KDE’s Dolphin beats them all. Fortunately being Linux you can always use Dolphin with Gnome.
I don’t think there’s luck to it, F40 would be delayed if GNOME wasn’t ready.
I’m a heavy user of spreadsheets and in my experience OnlyOffice is inadequate in features, it’s slow, sluggish, and crashes whenever you try to open anything big. I’m surprised it gets so much attention and I can only assume it’s used by people who don’t do any really heavy-duty work with it. LibreOffice is full-featured and is what I’ve been using for years, I’m very happy with it.
Valve are not going to put malicious code on their app. Neither is VLC or any other FOSS developer.
How would you know that? It’s not like it’s something that doesn’t happen.
Or 5 Bob’s all doing the same thing with 5 copies of Valve on the Store.
It’s crazy. This is what causes fragmentation.
I don’t know what snaps are like but that’s clearly a non-existent problem on Flathub.
Flathub should vet every app and if you are not the dev of the app, you may not host it on Flathub. You’re still welcome to make a Flatpak for home use on your own pc but not for wide distribution.
I don’t know why you feel like there’s permission involved. You don’t have to use Flathub, therefore Flathub can have what ever policies it likes. Users can set up a different flatpak repo if there’s a need.
The problem is that 3rd parties are doing the packaging both on Snap and Flatpak whereas if they had followed proper security practice ONLY THE REAL DEV should ever be allowed to package their app as a Flatpak or Snap.
Says who? If it were the case, Linux would either be a nightmare of fragmentation or become centralised on one distribution. Distros need to be able to package their own software, and these are kind of like distributions. Also since we’re talking about proprietary software here, is it really any better security practice if the “real dev” packages it or somebody else, they both could contain malicious code.
I knew my comments were crap but wow… :)
Can you not just post what the use-case is and the list? I’m not going to watch an unsolicited 20 minute video.
I’m also wondering who this is actually for. There’s no shortage of binary distributions, I thought Gentoo’s whole use case was if you want to compile everything.
Seems to have an irrational hang up around Red Hat based on all the hearsay going around.
It’s debatable at best.
Is there a lock button where I can lock it in to “numpad mode”? It does look good, if maybe a bit pricey, and I could of course just get a separate numpad if it doesn’t work out for me…
