I am going to start a new installation and I know there is tons of mistakes that will hunt you in the past. But I want this installation to be able to grow old. without any dependency problems and without me searching trough some small *ss picture preview. AND how would an effective Filetree look like
Like:
All my files are spread across my devices, since I have reinstalled very often and they now lie around my /backups/merge/{oldhomes} I usually have to dig around my backups to find stuff and sometimes there is a 'Seafile' folder and on another install it is a 'seaf-data' folder.
For the Images I had this in mind:
Where/How do you store your PDFs
Naming Files
Naming files is as important as Sorting them. What are your naming shemes?
Deleting
also Do you ever delete your /downloads or do you fear of losing something of value? Where do you draw the line between worth keeping and trash?
Syncing files
I have
If you would use your PC for private usage and let's say small business. would a split with 2 different user accounts be worth? One for work and one for private stuff. If Yes, you'd probably have to resort your Software / PDF folder / scripts and backups. Would you create a seperate work/backup/private SSHFS on you NAS?
I want to Build my Debian with an intelligent structure in mind. to keep things seperated for easy access and without much trouble - organized
How does Linux.org handle it's beloved data?
Like:
- do i really need full disc encryption on a desktop?
- seperate /home - yes or no (remember flatpak and snap with it's dependencies)
- ext4, xfs, zfs, btrfs
- LFM / Luks
