KDE bleeding into Metacity

[madpenguin]

Yeah, I don’t like Vorta at all tried it a few times, not a great experience. I use two different solutions, for servers I run “borgmatic”. You won’t like this, however it’s very good in a non-graphical environment and is great for servers.

For the desktop I you might like to try Pika, I used to use this locally but I’m pretty sure I used it with my Borgbase account too. I think you’d like it, very nice UI with great Gnome integration.

Pika Backup – Apps for GNOME

In terms of installation, as it happens I mentioned Pika a little over a year ago here;

The Gnome Circle

Maybe I’m being a little slow but I just discovered there’s “another” repository of some rather nice Gnome software that doesn’t appear by default on vanilla Gnome installations. sudo apt install flatpak sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak If you run “gnome-software” (i.e. the normal software installer) , it should now have access to a whole bunch of new Gnome applications. As it turns out they don’t seem to have ARM64 builds at present, but for PC users there’s some interesting stuff in there, specifically I was looking at “Pika Backup”. It’s a GUI front-end for “borg” which is something I’ve mentioned before as it’s what I use for all my backups. If anyone’s used Pika I’d be interested to hear what it’s like, it looks much better than “Vorta” which is the only other GUI client I’ve tried. Wondering if the reason I’ve not heard of it is beceause “flatpak” is a competitor for “snap” and “snap” seems to be something Ubuntu are supporting … (?) … and I only came across this in the Debian documentation … (!)
