The AppImage won't run here but the portable tar unpacks and works OOTB (though I'm also under MX23 so YMMV).

Will try it out, thank you.

Edit, it is working in TTY mode, thanks again

In older distributions: use libpcre2-dev and libwxgtk3.0-dev instead of libpcre3-dev and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev

Ups, didn't see that, thanks

I had no clue, that install would bring in flatpak stuff, which I have none on my computer. Appreciate the info, thank you.

I looked into Snapshot, Timeshift, luckyBackup, and FreeFileSync. All three works great on MX. I have no experience with LuckyBackup. Timeshift more for system backup, while FreeFileSync more for data. And MX Snapshot is jewel on top of it :-) Not so much for data backup, but for making copy of you...

Have you considered Kopia as the data (not system) backup tool? I was out of curiosity going to give it a try as well, but got stuck at first command: curl -s https://kopia.io/signing-key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/kopia-keyring.gpg I only use MXPI so I will first ask before I do som...
