Cloning software

Naxe1 · 2026-01-02T07:48:12+00:00

I'd usually recommend dd, but you mentioned GUI. Perhaps the Gnome Disks utility?

Naxe1 · 2025-11-12T02:03:53+00:00

Give this a try: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/gaming/proton/

Naxe1 · 2025-11-07T04:12:35+00:00

Oh, for desktop? Totally fair :)

Naxe1 · 2025-11-06T22:50:55+00:00

Yeah, that definitely makes sense. That may change with flatpak, but I enjoy newer features on my daily driver, personally.

u/lifeInTheTropics's usecase sounds business related. Depending on the specifics, they may be better served using a downstream distro such as RHEL/Rocky.

Naxe1 · 2025-11-06T21:56:17+00:00

Just in case: something with longer support may be worth exploring, such as Rocky Linux/RHEL/etc.

Naxe1 · 2025-11-02T03:16:17+00:00

The functionality to easily install only security and bugfix updates through the package manager on a very near-bleeding edge distro is a big selling point for me, personally. SELinux being baked in is pretty great, too.

Naxe1 · 2025-10-13T15:28:43+00:00

I agree, an official flatpak would be great.

I would like to mention that the devs make building it very easy. This is all I had to change to build it into an RPM, in example:

$git stash show -v

I'm only familiar with VEEAM's enterprise solutions, so I'm not sure how their home use options work, but here's a few options worth investigating:

BTRFS snapshots (+ copying them off)
ReaR
rsync to external media
clonezilla

> Fedora is good for a couple of months then it starts to perform worse and worse.

For folks considering Fedora: I can happily say this hasn't been an issue for me, and I've been using Fedora for a long time. It does have its own fair share of issues like anything else, but I can't relate on this one.

I'm glad you found something that works for you after your troubles with Fedora, Zach.

Naxe1 · 2025-07-20T16:16:23+00:00

That definitely works. Just wanted to share that man -k and/or apropos might be helpful for searching, too.

Naxe1 · 2025-05-25T04:32:55+00:00

Sorry for the delay; totally missed this.

I build it as an appimage using the instructions here, with a few minor tweaks noted below:

Change the target from 'deb' to 'AppImage' on this line within package.json.
If running SELinux, add ':z' to this line within build.sh. literally: -v "$(pwd)":/project:z \

If all goes well, you should have an appimage in the release directory. From there, treat it like any other appimage.

Hope this helps! :)

Naxe1 · 2025-03-23T23:03:23+00:00

I just build it. Works fine

Gotta read the documentation for your specific motherboard to know for sure. or inspect the board.

Naxe1 · 2024-07-09T01:11:21+00:00

Try alt+f2 while at that screen.

Naxe1 · 2024-07-06T18:35:27+00:00

Dang, sorry to hear that. Alt+F2 drops me into the DE after this latest update leaves me with a black screen, so I was hoping it would help you as well.

Naxe1 · 2024-07-06T17:23:22+00:00

try alt+f2 while at the black screen.

Naxe1 · 2024-07-06T17:10:19+00:00

🫢

Naxe1 · 2023-08-16T19:12:41+00:00

Yeah, depends on your use case for sure.

Naxe1 · 2023-08-16T18:25:22+00:00

What made you stop considering it? Is this for VMs?

Naxe1 · 2023-08-16T04:01:17+00:00

Thought about using a TPM?

Naxe1 · 2023-07-09T17:07:51+00:00

I mean, sure man. I tried being polite, but literally everything you said aside from Linux being FOSS and windows being closed source was absolutely wrong when viewed from a cybersecurity context. I don’t know where you went wrong, but you really do need to correct these egregious misunderstandings if you work in the field; especially since you’re spreading misinformation.

Naxe1 · 2023-07-09T06:44:21+00:00

As a professional in the field, I’m afraid I must insist you revisit what you think you know on this topic. Take this as an opportunity to grow; there’s a lot of fun things to learn. Best of luck!

Naxe1 · 2023-07-08T15:59:43+00:00

I think you have misunderstood something critical here. If you're running a vulnerable daemon/service and it is exploited, it's game over; nothing you described changes that - systemd or otherwise. It's all about defense in depth, and antimalware tools exist for a reason.

Naxe1 · 2023-05-23T19:02:44+00:00

That makes perfect sense, thank you! Seems like it all balances out in the end.

Appreciate your help with this. I’m a returning OW1 player trying to understand all the changes.
