seems like i took the bait, nice one. but considering that i’ve met people who argued that “a linux computer can’t be secure without flatpak” i’d put nothing past flatpak fans at this point.

…did that ever happen to you with healthy maintained software? i’d be quite curious to know, because it did not happen to me.

on the other hand, my image viewer doesn’t need a 300 megabyte runtime and i can launch it by its name and not by “flatpak run org.whatever.softwarename”. and as a bonus it’s dynamically linked too.

makes using it much more convenient

the backup wouldn’t be encrypted but you can use luks to encrypt the backup drive too, the same way as you’d do with a drive in your computer.

i use rsync to send off my /home to an encrypted backup drive and restoring it you just reverse the source and destination and copy the stuff back.
