Just a bit of complaint: if you need to highlight how important it is to make a backup or set up automatic backups, tell the users how to do that or at least lead them to a page which explains how.

This is one of the (small) gripes I have with Fedora (at least the KDE Spin, not sure about the GNOME edition): it doesn’t really have an “official” way to handle backups. Distros like Linux Mint do a better job here.

Yes, you can use pretty much anything and I ended up using Restic, but it’s not great for your average “office” user who would rather just have an entry in the system settings where they can configure a reliable backup easily. Then add a restore process to the installer.

Apple’s Time Machine is a good template in terms of UX I’d say, it’s built-in, easy to setup and also easy to restore either single files/folders or a whole system with an option in the setup assistant.

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.
