Hi OP, thanks for this. Looks interesting. Can you fix the web link in your post ? There is a dot at the very end.

Thanks for maintaining the AUR package :) Guess this could be ticked as resolved now ? https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/issues/67

There’s https://borgwarehouse.com/ Haven’t found the time to test it but looks interesting.

This one in your post text :

Currently you can only try it by building it yourself, instruction here. https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/src/branch/master/docs/building.md.

If you had adb debugging already enabled there is an app to have the phone display on your desktop computer :

The dmesg command via either sudo or root can show a lot of that output. If your system did not have rsyslog or the syslog-ng packages installed any more then you’d only have systemd journal but you can, depending on your Linux distribution, install these logging applications. Back in the days when Linux users would not always use a graphical display manager, you could actually use shift and page up and page down to scroll through the kernel boot up messages.

Linux is usually very flexible. /home is just the standard, but you could configure for example your user A to use /home/a/ as home and configure your user B to use /home2/b/ which you have saved on a USB drive that you normally will not connect. You can check this for yourself by looking at the /etc/passwd file with a text editor. Your user C can e.g. have its home in /var/lib/my-fancy-home/c/

Years ago some Linux howtos or Linux distributions during their installation recommended to have several different partitions (I believe some of the BDSs like OpenBSD still offer such an option during installation). One advantage of that for /home is that you can have different mount options like noexec for preventing the execution of files inside your home directory which can be a good security measure. But I am not sure what the impact is for KDE and GNOME desktop files as launchers. These need to be executable files.

For the OP : By careful with rsync. A trailing slash in a path name of a rsync command can make a huge difference with rsync. rsync is a fantastic tool for local and remote copying but mind your steps :)

Here, as root, I would prefer option 2 to be sure to not mess up permissions :

1 rsync -av /home/user/ /home2

2 rsync -av /home/user/ /home2/

Maybe you were using a deprecated search engine after all ? ;-) I used one of my favorite SearXNG instances and this was in the top 5 hits, a howto with happy comments from 2022. I assume the content is still legit.
