It's extremely simple, intuitive and easy to configure, and it might give you a small productivity boost depending on your workflow. I've experimented with many tiling window managers over the years but none of them got me to switch. There have been lots of Windows and Mac OS replies to this thread, so here's a few Linux ones for a change: No data loss though, everything resumed from mid-backup and happily continued. Then the power went out again! I didn't even shout or curse, that's how mad I was. When the power came back on, everything was still fine but I was worried about data corruption so I plugged in yet another, my last good external drive with a known good copy of everything to compare against. The power went out and I wasn't using a UPS. I was doing a full backup to two separate drives at once, one external and one SATA internal.
Full-disk encryption on everything and never a problem.
I've done all kind of stupid things when formatting or unplugging drives and have never lost data. Very lightweight too, and the config file is simple enough that a quick glance at it in a text editor is all you need to make customizations faster than using the GUI preferences.Ī very close second is the ext4 filesystem, but I don't know if this qualifies as software. Simple, works as advertised, and it's running pretty much 100% of the time my computer is on.
