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.

Git for projects, NAS for 3D printing stuff, mods for games and unofficial game translations, Google Photos for photos (looking to migrate away from that when I have time). I don't much care about anything else.
Git as backup?! Ok...
I assume the original comment meant code based projects, for which git, if repo is pushed to a remote, is a very sane choice.
Yeah, git without LFS isn't optimal for non-text files.
Yep, that's what I meant. If it's a public project, it's on my GitHub, if it's a private one, it's on my private GitLab instance.
Meaning that as long as you're regularly committing your work to Github/Gitlab/wherever, you don't need to backup your source directory.
