Linux
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.

All important files go in /data.
/data is ZFS, snapped and sent to NAS regularly
Every time I change a setting, it gets added to a dconf script. Every time I install software, I write a script.
Dotfiles git repo for home directory.
With that, I can spin up a fresh machine in minutes with scripts.
Timeshift for configs to a locally attached drive. Home partition to cloud with rsync
Internal RAID1 as first line of defense. Rsync to external drives where at least one is always offsite as second. Rclone to cloud storage for my most important data as the third.
Backups 2 and 3 are manual but I have reminders set and do it about once a month. I don't accrue much new data that I can't easily replace so that's fine for me.
The glorious life of openSUSE, defaults to btrfs on install and everything is preconfigured with snapper out of the box. Easy life, nothing to worry about.
