It is a trusted companion when looking at the tail lights of the car in front of me, every day when I drive to work. My question may be stupid, but Google doesn’t give me a direct answer to following question: I want to reinstall my Linux Mint. When I make a backup of all my files (from /home) onto eg. a EXT4 USB drive (copy/paste), then I nuke the Mint install and reinstall from scratch, when I then restore the backed up /home data files, what happens with the rights on the file? (ownership & file permissions) Are they being brought across from the original install, or are they set correctly for the new install? Are there backup tools which make sure that file permissions are set correctly when restored on a new system? Many thanks in advance for your help.

I am so grateful that I did find it though. The very first episode I saw had Martin Wimpress on as a guest. The banter between Ryan and wimpy was the first thing that was able to make me laugh in months. I can’t describe how much I appreciate all of the hard work from the past and current lineup. You guys renew my passion and excitement for Linux every week. Thanks for helping create and maintain a community that cares about a project that is actually making a difference in the world. And a community where I can remain silent but still feel like I’m surrounded by friends in discord and telegram. Friends who love to talk about Linux and computers as much as I do and won’t perceive me as just some nerd that isn’t worth talking to. I feel home. All of your hard work is what keeps us going and drives us to want to learn more! I genuinely can’t thank you guys enough for everything you do. I’ll be around as long as DL is around.

Software Spotlight: Guvcview DL Community Email: Greetings, I just wanted to throw you a quick note about some really good news and great uses on Linux. I am a Drafter / Designer by trade and have only been using proprietary software on Windows to do 3D mechanical design work. I have recently been using FreeCAD, which is a 3D Parametric solid modeler not too different than the high cost, commercial offerings. It is feature rich and has many modules for different engineering functions. This has been an exciting discovery and journey for me. I have only begun scratching the surface of it and the more I use it the more I like it. Some other noteworthy built in modules include BIM (Building Information Modeler) for doing architectural work and FEM (Finite Element Method) for doing some serious part or system analysis. From a professional and personal standpoint, this is super exciting to know that I am now free of the confinements of super expensive proprietary software for hobby projects. These are cross platform tools not exclusive to Linux but the point is, it is ON Linux and it works super well. These are some exciting times! — CubicleNate

Welcome to Episode 81 of Destination Linux DL Email Hey, Destination Linux crew, I love the show, but one thing greatly troubles me… Ryan “CLAIMS” his car ‘runs linux’, but I am thinking he means that his car ‘boots’ linux.   I refuse to believe these outrageous claims until I see a logo of some sort that Ryan has produced ACTUALLY USING this ‘linux’ on his car.  That’s right. I’m calling ‘bogus’ on this, until Ryan offers proof-positive that his car RUNS linux by producing something with inkscape or gimp USING HIS CAR. I admit, I was skeptical when he professes his love for linux, but uses an iPhone to make phone calls. (Android, as google-fied as it may be, is certainly closer to the linux family than iOS) Seriously, though. Thank you for the show each week! I don’t miss an episode, and, like Ryan, I also work telecom… It’s a welcome relief to hear the friendly linux-centric banter while I go about my I&R (install and repair) business day. PS: I’m not sure if Michael knew this, but KDE is SO customizable,  I’ve even found an option that you can ‘like it’ or ‘not like it’ in the settings!!!
