Cloning on Linux
Use the rsync command in Bash to clone directories.
- Open Terminal
- Command:
rsync -avh /path/to/source/ /path/to/destination/
Replace /path/to/source/ with the path of your game directory. Replace /path/to/destination/ with the path to where you want to clone the directory.
On Windows
You can use PowerShell
- Right click PowerShell; run as admin
- command:
Copy-Item -Path “C:\path\to\source*” -Destination "C:\path\to\destination" -Recurse
Replace C:\path\to\source\ with the path of your game directory. Replace C:\path\to\destination\ with the path for where you want to put the files. Probably the USB
The “Any day now” just keeps holding hopeium and copeium. They dont have to deliver if any day is a phrase that keeps people putting off switching.
Side note to any power users that are planning on making the switch that I wish I knew back when I switched. (Types that really want a system thats theirs and dig in) don’t start out with a “user friendly distro” go straight to a main bloodline distro like Arch or Debian. Chances are you’ll end up on one anyway and it’ll save you time distro hopping.
