Hi there, I’m on Bazzite KDE and recently somehow lost a my “gaming” folder…? No idea how but must gave been user faulty, e.g me. Therefore wondering if it’s possible to lock certain folders so that this cannot accidentally happen?

    Definitely a very valid point! I have a server I can back up to aswell, just gotta set it up as you say 👌

      I think it’s worth emphasising here: Don’t put it off!

      There are millions who can tell you from experience that good intentions count for nothing when it comes to backups.

      I’d recommend going and setting up Timeshift right now: https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift

      It’s easy to set up, it takes literally 10 minutes, and if you decide later you want to use something else, you can just uninstall Timeshift and delete its backups. But in the meantime you’ll be protected with backups.

      It’s literally the first thing I install on a new system and it’s saved me multiple times from having to do a complete reinstall.
