From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fedora:

-Window tiling without an extension -Ability to open a program on a certain workspace without an extension -An equivalent to Time Machine -Minimizing/expending buttons by default -Gnome calendar easily displaying your thunderbird calendar -Ability to easily try other DE

Otherwise everything is perfectly fine

An equivalent to Time Machine

Doesn't timeshift work? If you installed fedora with Btrfs which is the default it should work unless the default subvolumes used by fedora are not compatible with what timeshift expects.

Sorry if you meant to say that they should have it by default and you are already using timeshift.

Well I’m using Clonezilla because apparently Timeshift has to be set up in a precise way to work on Fedora. To be honest, I don’t have enough knowledge to set up complicated things so that’s why I think it should kind of be enabled by default.

With some things I can take risks but not with a backup tool (even if it’s mostly to backup my settings as the files are saved on kDrive).

Can you post the output of cat /etc/fstab?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess I’m not techie enough to understand the question 😅

Just open a terminal and type that and paste the result here.
