flathub VS TimeShift

No, flatpak doesn't use distributions package managers. It doesn't need RPM/DEB packages to work. Today if you want to distribute a flatpak application, you build it once, upload it to flathub.org and it will show up in countless distributions like SteamOS 3 and Pop_OS!.

if you wanna install in terminal using flatpak please go to : https://flathub.org/ to make your life easier.

Yes you can install anything available here https://flathub.org/

Flathub: https://flathub.org

All flathub.org flatpaks are available in Discover. You can have a look there to see if you can find what you need. Discord, Spotify, Zoom, MS Teams and ONLYOFFICE (if you need good MS Office compatibility) are all there. I think it comes with Firefox pre-installed, but I'm pretty sure the Deck UI's non-steam tab comes with a one-click installer for Chrome, if that's more your speed. There's also a Chromium flatpak in Discover.

The Discover store is the KDE application for installing/updating/removing things - which in the Steam Deck is used to handle Flatpaks from Flathub.

Linux users typically do not install software like this, we use a package manager (a bit like the app stores on phones) to install stuff instead. SteamOS comes with Flatpak, so you can go over to FlatHub and start installing stuff.

You can install anything from https://flathub.org/.

The previous developer of timeshift—Tony George (GitHub) — has been the developer since 2017 (based on GitHub version history), and has recently handed off development to the Linux Mint team.

I use both timeshift & duplicity

Don't believe me or u/acejavelin69 - read what the developer has to say about user data and why it is disabled by default. https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift

Version v22.06.6 Latest

The original dev used ubuntu and only wanted to support the default ubuntu layout: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift/issues/821

What system backup software can you recommend? In the past on Ubuntu I tested Timeshift, and it looks really cool. But the "main problem" is thing, that some options not work in Fedora: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift, specifically BTRFS. What does it mean, this is a problem?

- [Timeshift](https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift) or [Deja Dup](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DejaDup) and back-up everything.

What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.

Releases · teejee2008/timeshift Was fixed. Get PPA from that repo to have the latest release.

Are you sure you need a full on virtual machine, rather than a system snapshotting tool like Snapper or Timeshift?
