Yep downloading now 👍👍

Use timeshift, easy peasy to set up. It’s saved my bacon a couple of times now, only last week, when the kernel 6.4 came out, but my old nvidia driver wouldn’t work with it. You just jump into tty, run timeshift --restore and chose a previous backup, takes all of ten minutes. I have it doing a back up every day to a second HD, keeping the last five, doesn’t take up much space. I don’t think there’s an easier option than that.

I set up WireGuard this morning, but it’s far ‘harder’ than Tailscale. So now I have both working. 😁

Forwarding ports can be a pain, I admit, here in France you get a routeur supplied when you sign up for fiber, and of course they are all different. I got WireGuard with Duckdns working, though impossible to get just duckdns to work on it’s own. And it was was far more difficult than just tailscale.

A Brilliant disc and with a superb cover art. I remember it well.

I use NordVPN, works well with Arch, no gui just terminal, only about three times to get it logged, to the country you want to use, and running

They often do some promotions, got mine at about half price

Installation was a breeze, far far easier than wireguard with duckdns. (which I have now just done as well) But can’t you add it to HA as a add-on?

Garmin Epix Pro gen 2, by far the best, as like the 7x but with an OLED screen. A real fitness watch, rather than a apple smart watch

As others have stated, Dual boot but with two HDs one OS per Hard Disk. Otherwise Windows will write over the Linux grub (the equivalent yi windows MBR) one day (been there, several times 😭) and then it’s a right pain to get it back to normal. For the sync option, there are several options, Dropbox is available as an app on Linux, Also NextCloud works extremely well
