And now for something completely different, what are all you European Linux people using for secure automatic cloud backups of docs and pictures on your linux laptops?

Sieben Festnahmen - Messerattacken in Wien: 2 Teenager in Lebensgefahr #News #Nachrichten

⚫️ THE DARK side of WAR – Russians RECRUITING Ukrainian teenagers #shorts: https://benborges.xyz/2025/10/17/the-dark-side-of-war.html

WELL.
We have a newly installed @… version on an old #EndoOf10 laptop.
All user files have been moved across (will require some organisation still, and that alone will be a shock to a GenZ used to just dumping stuff on the cloud - honestly the desktop looked like my parents... 😱 ).
Most important programs are there (I had to explain difference between program and app along the way too).
And overall it's been a pretty positive learning experience for both of us. I have had to compromise on a few things and teenager has a few programs installed that I'd rather not - but let's see this as a gateway out of #BigTech if at all possible...
There will be a few more follow up points I suspect but thanks all for your friendly encouragement and helpful hints so far

Instagrams Teen-Konten bekommen ein filmreifes Update
Social Media für Jugendliche: Teenager bekommen bei Instagram künftig nur noch das zu sehen, was in etwa FSK 12 bei Filmen entspricht.

Zwei, verm. Pre-Teenager auf dem Rad, mit einmal einem Tretroller quer über dem Lenker und einmal im Rucksack. Redundanz etwas zu gut gemeint?

Teenager has just suggested some of the programs, which I was under the impression were via the browser, may need to be on desktop.
This might mean Wine I guess?
And probably some kind of microsoft office install? I was hoping to get away with libreoffice..
Anybody have any experience with wine?
I will in any case have to contact the IT support at the school I think. I hope I am not the only parent doing so with the #EndOf10 .
Meanwhile, over on the laptop, the Linux Mint is installed (in danish even) and seems to be restarting without the USB
holding breath here...
🤞

Moment of truth time - I have a bootable usb stick. Etcher was veyr fast I'm pretty sure the backup of the laptop worked. But teenager may be about to hate me forever.
Let's see... 🤞

The fun of Saturday morning science is over, so it's on to the business of the day #EndOf10 and the opportunity to convert the teenager's laptop to linux mint. Follow along with my no doubt enraging journey through the #Windows10 minefield here. (or mute if you don't want to hear it).
First task is to find a flash drive with enough space and or disposable files on it...
