From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's really tragic and inelegant how we have to jump through hoops and bounce files around a wireless network when the USB cable is just sitting right there. What I had to do since rsync doesn't work with mtp file paths was to install
android-file-transferand run the following with my phone connected via USB, but not already mounted by the file manager:You can also omit the
--exclude 'Android/'part as needed, I just didn't want to copy over the quintillion tiny files under that directory.I would be sending files to the Android device, using it as a location to backup "important" data. Mostly Factorio saves.
Plugging in for that is impractical given its already on the same LAN.
