minus-square hdnclr ( @hdnclr@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish5•4 months agoI got bored and installed Arch on my desktop. I’m back on Arch after using Ubuntu for years.
minus-square Cass.Forest ( @cityboundforest@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoI keep considering putting Arch on my desktop (it currently has Ubuntu) but I feel like I would have to back up all my files. Is there a way to upgrade without backing up everything onto one of my hard drives? I’m just worried I’d miss something
minus-square eveninghere ( @eveninghere@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish5•4 months agoYou really should back up your system though
minus-square Cass.Forest ( @cityboundforest@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoSo there’s no way of just telling the imager to skip a folder or two? Would switching over even be worth it?
minus-square eveninghere ( @eveninghere@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish4•4 months agoDonno what an imager is. Backup tools do have skip options.
minus-square Cass.Forest ( @cityboundforest@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoBy imager, I just mean when installing an OS
minus-square eveninghere ( @eveninghere@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish4•4 months agoAh, the thing is that we don’t trust installers, more or less. Nobody should.
minus-square Cass.Forest ( @cityboundforest@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkEnglish1•4 months agoYeah that’s fair
