My own intricate system of 4 git repos to manage dotfiles, bash initialization, cli tools/scripts, and system state.

The last one keeps track of installed packages and “dotfiles” out of the home directory (system config files like /etc/hosts).

as one of their customers, I second this

Is there a web archive equivalent to github repos? At least for the most popular ones.

I know there are hard copies in Svalbard’s seed vault, but they’re more for a one-in-thousands-of-years post-apocalyptic scenarios than this.

if you need less than 4TB just get a solid state

I got the HL-L2325DW last year. Connecting it to the WiFi using WPS was really easy. Making the desktop see it was a bit of trial and error, but it was partially thanks to the PDF viewer I was using, so I’d recommend printing from a well established viewer like Okular or the web browser, at least for the first use.

I don’t remember having to download any drivers manually from their website btw, I just chose it from the list when setting up a new printer. This process might change with the distro and desktop environment though, I’m using Kubuntu.

In fact, if you’re a bit lucky, the printer might even show up as a “discovered device” after you connect it to your network, even with a suggested driver and connection so you just need to press next.

“Desktop OS” also counts laptops. Unless people are working from their smartphones, I don’t think desktop is collapsing at all.
