I have always been discovering new things about Linux distros while distro hopping. And when I get something I really like, I just copy the package name and make sure I install it in every distro I use in the future.
Let me start:
- Clipboard manager (Gpaste)
- KDE connect
BTRFS snapshots like openSUSE and now also Fedora has it. I don’t want to use a distro without them anymore. Unfortunately, configuring them yourself is a bit more involved than just installing a package…
@Ephera @Owell1984 Do you a good source for a tutorial how to configure snapshots? (on OpenSUSE)
Oh, on openSUSE, you don’t need to configure anything. Just install with the default partition setup and it will automatically take snapshots of your operating system (/home/ is excluded) whenever there are changes.
It uses incremental snapshots, so they won’t take up infinite space…
@Ephera Thanks, I noticed that my system does take snapshots automatically (I am new to openSUSE) but thought maybe there is still something to optimize 👍🏼
Look on the the arch wiki, you can tweak snapshot/cleanup frequencies, which is nice
