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.

I shudder to think of "if anything goes wrong." I really need some sort of redundancy for this drive. It all started with "I'm going to get a big drive so I can backup my phone," and it's grown to "I have 5 phones worth of memories and 3 terabytes of YouTube channels downloaded onto this single drive." lol
I don’t know what your financial status is, but a nice Synology NAS unit is a terrific investment. I’m really happy with the one I got a while back.
My financial status is I'm trying to figure out if starting a church to grift people will make me feel bad, lol. I'll probably use one of the old PCs I have laying around and turn it into some sort of homebrew nas. Hopefully before it's too late but probably not until I have a close call.
I was having problems with NTFS HDDs when I was dual booting. Needing to get into windows for solving them. Then I ditched Windows, reformatted my drives to EXT4 and never looked back.
But now I am using EXT4 with LUKS for encryption.
Which distro are you on?
I believe I was on PopOS then. Now I am on EndeavorOS.
Ok, cool. Thanks for the info
