Pika Backup (GUI for borgbackup) is a great app for backups. It has all the features you might expect from backup software and "just works".

I recently disabled Dash to Panel, and installed Pop Shell. I'm loving it so far, using my Trackpad gestures from switching between workspaces. Granted, I don't really need more than 3 or 4 desktops (Browser, Terminal, Messaging...) and it's not quite vanilla as I have Pop Shell managing tiling for me (but still pretty close!). I also need to try it with my "docked" workflow, using an external monitor and keyboard shortcuts (as opposed to trackpad gestures).

I'm curious, will that work with Motherboards released until then, or just new motherboards from that point onwards?

Probably not the goal, but a NixOS-based begginer distro could be great, with one app to install all your package and one app to manage all your settings. (I personally really like the idea of having app settings in the "general" settings app). But probably the killer advantage of NixOS is that it's really hard to break and really easy to fix, which is important for a distro aimed at the general public.

P.S.: Also check out nix-software-center by the same guy.

As long as the game does not depend on Steam APIs for DRM (which is not Valve's fault), you can absolutely copy over the game files and play it outside of Steam, and even use Proton, although it's only officially supported in Steam.

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. (restoreprivacy.com)

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”...

  1. They used to have that functionality (and I loved it) but they removed it due to it "not being secure enough" for their standards
  2. Signal can absolutely replace WhatsApp, Viber (although I never heard of it before), etc. It supports voice and video calls, and you can even screen share from desktop

Do they require to have a backdoor into the actual app (on your phone) or into the servers.

I'm not sure how data is stored locally (probably encrypted tho), but some time ago the FBI demanded Signal to give them all of the data they had on a specific account. All they were able to get was the phone number of said account and the account creation date.

Still better than iMessage or WhatsApp!

I guess they have some criteria for security and they don't want to "ship" features that are below that (SMS is the most insecure you can get).
