also ntfs doesn't support many common symbols. so you can't use them

I couldn't speak to how you might do it on windows or mac. but as you mentioned linux... most popular linux backup applications have features such as backup on shutdown or backup on startup, which might help as you don't have to think about it (atleast with the backup at shutdown).

But just a word of caution as you're still in school, DON'T use a distribution(version of linux) that is called bleeding edge or unstable, use a "stable" distribution. the bleeding edge is fun, but it's more trouble than it is worth when you don't have a lot of time.

i THINK the wiki is outdated, but im not sure. When i installed arch a couple of months ago it seemed to work out of the box as well(with a dedicated gpu).

As for the jitter in firefox, i have had the same problem on fedora kde(which i'm currently dailying), which happened only recently. I think its a bug in firefox, and while reinstalling arch and updating the system, a new update for firefox that fixed the issue also got installed.

matrix is integrated into the lemmy messaging system tho, so it should be safe.. i think

yeah, the firefox account. it doesn't save everything sadly:( not even close.

you could also backup the data directly, you can find what account you're using and where to find it in about:account

still really cool tho - them integrating other open standard

A Canon!? how in the world!

hehe, here come the audiophiles

Lemmy also uses Matrix for encrypted DMs

that's sick! didn't know that, oughta check that out then. is there anywhere they discuss/explain that?

I really like fedora linux, probably the kde version but it has many others as well. it's stable and easy to use.

it's kind of exponential, so you have to aim for the maximum of minimal effort!

an issue you've reported get fixed or a feature you've suggested get implemented.

yeah that feeling, it's better than drugs, it's so amazing
