Installing Zorin OS

Roy Scheider.
He left the show when the writers went sideways. Scheider enthusiastically joined the cast when at the beginning, the writers produced scripts that dispelled common myths about oceanography and taught some science. It started out well.
In later seasons, hoping to boost ratings, the show writers went all kinds of Discovery Channel, trying to introduce Mer-people, UFO's and aliens and other obnoxious plot twists. Scheider felt that the show had moved away from its roots and not into a particularly good direction and quit.

The role was re-cast to Micheal Ironside - another great actor, but doom for the show. It got the axe not long after.

Of course... any review of recent shows that no one learned their lesson from any of it...

Yes, like Picard. Just how long do you think its gonna last? I seriously question it. They are gonna have to do an amazing job with their season 2, or face being squashed by Discovery, who's already had 3-seasons so far, and known to be fairly successful.

I love Patric Stewart, don't get me wrong, I got nothing wrong with him. But the script writing, the story direction of the show, the way Starfleet is now. I'm just not happy about the direction. So like I said, they gonna have to pull a rabbit out of their hats, or else that show is going to end up getting cancelled early.

Ah, here comes a party poo-per :crazy_face:

But zabadabadoo is absolutely right.

@thirteenth_13
Before you do anything to the current perfectly working system, I recommend you to make a whole disk image with either Clonezilla (CUI) or Rescuezilla (GUI).

which is the best gui or cui?

#213

.....

#214

Depends on whether you are comfortable with text only or graphical user interface.

I have been using Linux over 10 years and I prefer Clonezilla myself.
But my family members with less Linux experience prefer Rescuezilla for ease of use. (Besides, Super Tux rockes!)

Rescuezilla is just a GUI skin over the Clonezilla. Both are essentially the same application.

sorry man im still newbie

#216

then i will try clonezilla, thanks

#217

I think you misread my comment :sweat_smile:
I recommended Resuezilla for the beginners.

You could try Clonezilla, but it took me a while to figured that thing out when I was a beginner 10 years ago.... And there was no such thing as GUI version at that time.

That question has sparked numerous passionate debates.:stuck_out_tongue:

I do back ups a little differently. I compress the directories I wish to keep. That's it.

I suppose you do it externally - booting from a live USB to access the drive you wish to save?

I could be wrong but I cannot imagine I back up my entire OS installation while I am running it.

I took the liberty of mixing different Question and Answer. But the result is true:

I think @FrenchPress advice to use GUI version, from her personal experience, is good for @thirteenth_13 to try first.

I have this mental picture of @Aravisian putting old phone books in a compactor and storing the paper bales.

after backup,all set and ready to enjoy?

#223

In theory, yes.

But if you want to be absolutely sure with an integrity of your back up, you can run a restore operation on the spare SSD/HDD to confirm it.

This is a completely optional step recommended for those cases where the installation is mission critical.

While running.
Click on ~/.config, ~/Pictures, so on and so on. Compress, then move the compressed file to a back up location. External Drive, SSD, Google-Drive, whatever.
Once this is done, it does not need to be done anymore. That's the problem with many back ups, is you must redo it each and every time.

After that has been done, periodically move changes to the compressed directory to replace the old - with drag and drop.
Let's say I change some documents or make a new document in~/Documents.
I just drag and drop the new doc or revised doc to the compressed directory and it will compress and add it. If I am in a hurry or feeling lazy, I'll just drag and drop all contents.

And since I do this when or as changes are made (Most of the time, anyway), my backups are good to the minute, not to last week or even yesterday.

Lastly, it spares the Bloat of backing up things I do not need or even want to save using a Back Up manager.

I got into this habit when I was new to Zorin and had to wipe and reload a lot after utterly destroying the system experimenting.

Finally, I never recommend backing up Root.
