Sander Rossel wrote: Also, can anyone recommend something for automatic backup?
Before investing in a backup system, I would ask myself the following questions:
- Is this stuff important?
Yes - carry on to question 2; no - stop right here - How hard would it be to replace?
Difficult/impossible - carry on to question 3; Easy/Trivial - stop right here - Is it confidential (including stuff that you don't want leaking to the public domain)?
No - set up a backup using reputable Cloud services; yes - use a local backup
For your irreplaceable, confidential stuff, I would set up a system as follows:
On the hardware side, I would set up a tiered system:
- NAS
This should be attached to your home network and behind the firewall (don't be tempted to use it for remote access!). All the important stuff should be backed up to this on a regular basis. - Local, air-gapped backup
The NAS should be backed up to this on a regular basis - Off-site, air-gapped backup
The local backup should be duplicated, and and stored off-site (e.g. your parent's house). Not only will this encourage you to visit your parents regularly, it will also provide insurance against fires, break-ins, floods, etc.
As for software, OG has recommended AOMEI Backupper. I add my recommendation.

No! It is Microsoft Edge. And built on Chromium...

Yes and into Windows Edge, they've added specific Windows dependencies, donchyano?

They must be claiming that that's their unique feature, in the browser world.
Apart from hobby browsers and browsers that have seven-or-less users, I can't think of one that doesn't have Linux (and even Android, in most cases) versions.
Maybe all their guys are too busy working on the new icon (coming soon!) to do any functional coding.

I didn't know Apple was a group of hobbyist making a browser used by less than 7 people. I know most install Chrome on their Macs, but still.... I would estimate the count not doing it to at least make it into the double digits.

I know it is probably possible to run the Windows version on Linux, but that's still not a Linux version.

Hmm.
OK, so I can now think of one that doesn't have a Linux version (although Android is based on a messed-with Linux kernel, I'll grant that it's not exactly Linux).

You can still use too much memory with Chrome (in Linux).

Does "chesty" mean having many chests?
Does "leggy" mean having many lower appendages?
Does "belly" mean having many bells?
Does "bally" mean having lots of cojones?
