leo , (edited ) in Can't get crontab to run backup script properly

Cron does not like dots in the filename of your script. Does it work if it is just “backup” instead of “backup.sh”?

Have a look at the most upvoted comment.

Pantherina , in The Linux experice

I guess thats “thw Ubuntu experience”. Ubuntu IS NOT general Linux. They do their own proprietary Snap thing, which may be liked by developers but is not the standard.

Flatpaks never have too little permissions, its more that they have too many.

Run unsnap from Github, its an awesome tool and actually makes Ubuntu usable

Skotimusj OP ,

Thanks for the advice. I actually got it running last night.

AzPsycho , in Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

I use Windows for work and gaming, MacOS for app development (mostly because I can code for iOS and Android in one environment), and ChromeOS for my daily browsing.

I just enjoy how chrome always works when I need to just browse the internet or buy something online without issue.

nottelling , in Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool

I’d imagine tar is included with the install media.

dack , in When I shutdown my computer last night, it gave me this error message. It seems to be working fine but should I be considered?

In addition to the other things mentioned, check the health of your drive. This could be a symptom of corruption.

I’m using MX Linux, I try to avoid snap and flatpak…nothing like a good old .deb installing right away

EDIT because someone wrote non-sense below, MX is the #1 distro on distrowatch for years and the latest MX23 is based on debian 12 “bookworm” which is a month old. It’s using 6.4.4 kernel from last week as of writing. This is a cutting edge distro.

Pantherina , (edited )

Edit: nice to hear Debian bookworm and MX are actually up to date!

Frederic ,

What are you talking about? MX23 is based on debian 12 “bookworm” which is a month old. It’s using 6.4.4 kernel from last week. Please edit your message.

Pantherina ,

Crazyyy. This must be because of the stable fixing phase. Now everything is set and the distros will diverge some more again. On Fedora I am on Kernel 6.4.x too

Oh, you seem to be looking for Debian. www.debian.org

I have an Asus vivobook flip, which also has a touchscreen. I daily drive pop OS, which works great with my touchscreen, altough the mouse sometimes dissapears and you need to drag it to the top bar to make it reappear. Screen rotation also works quite good by the way.

buckykat , in Touch screens on linux?

I use popOS on a 2-in-1 laptop with touch and stylus input, it works fine.

Neon right now i will try pop os when the new cosmic desktop drops

nestEggParrot ,

Has a release date been announced for cosmic?

merthyr1831 ,

Nah, it’s more of a “when it’s ready” type thing. You can see updates on their blog but by the looks, it’ll be another 6 months or so before a real release candidate is ready.

Drito , in A video by The Linux Cast on the debian website and how it needs to be more user friendly.

I’m annoyed when there are many differents isos.

I actually have an older HP envy x360 (AMD chipset). Works like a charm with linux (everything out of the box). The touchscreen is fully functional, but I don’t really use it. I don’t dig that at all 😅

One thing that bothers me is that it is impissible to update the BIOS firmware without at least a Windows VM.

Artemis , in Touch screens on linux?

I have an HP Envy and it has honestly been a dream with any distro I throw at it. I find KDE to have better touch gesture support than Gnome, but I have been running Gnome for a while now and it hasn’t bothered me at all.

FrankTheHealer , in What is your preferred daily driver distribution?

I recently Switched to Fedora Gnome and have been liking it.

Lot more user friendly than Mint imo.
