Right, thanks for the input. I used to use it for unimportant stuff like game storage so it's entirely possible errors just went unnoticed 😅

Said drive is a new one for media and regular everyday usage, not the existing backup drive according to the OP. Btrfs is more than stable enough barring specific RAID configurations, at any rate.

Yeah I guess exfat is the way to go then, it's how I handle my external SSD rn as well

Edit: Also, I'm not sure how well btrfs handles external drives. Didn't realize that'd be the use case when I suggested it.

Ah, now that's a scare! Glad you mostly managed to recover at any rate.

As for the fs to use, exfat is probably a safer bet but btrfs is also an option. I've used winbtrfs in the past and it works surprisingly well.

I second borg, been using it for years and it's never let me down. Granted, I haven't actually had to do disaster recovery so far, but my tests have been positive lol

Since space is a major concern, maybe have a look at borg and possibly something like borgmatic on top for easier configuration. Borg does deduplicated backups, so you could do even hourly ones if you wanted without too much extra space depending on how many you want to keep. You'd need to run a borg server wherever you want to store your backups so it's not a simple rsync over ssh situation but that's the price you pay for the extra niceties.

I don't suppose you're thinking of the system BlendOS uses, right? It's the closest I can think of based on your description but it doesn't seem to fit the timeframe.

As a Logseq user, that looks pretty much like what I wanted it to be. Lean, self hostable, no weird feature bloat. I'll take a closer look!

That sounds amazing, wow. Can't wait to give it a go!

Btw just in case you aren't aware, the nag can be done away with. I don't have a link off the top of my head but it's out there.

No such thing, we all start somewhere! :)

Anyway, you could in fact do that if you were thinking of trying out other Fedora Atomic images such as Silverblue and whatnot (see also the ublue page listing tons of others, including your bazzite!). This uses different tooling, so unfortunately not in this case.

Oh I didn't realize SteamVR didn't support all that, great points! That's a lot more understandable then, here's hoping it catches on and they eventually manage to get it to support everything in that case.
