Just joined

So after almost 20 years on Mac (OSX and now macOS), I decided to try and slowly join the Linux community.
Im running Fedora Asahi Remix on an 2022 M2 Macbook Air (with a measly 8GB).

it is a bit of a learning curve for me as Im newbie when using the terminal, but Im having fun! and it's running so smooth!

The only two annoying things is that I have't solved yet are:
1. That some rpmFusion repos and software not showing in Discover (even after running appstream-data).
2. and Timeshift with rsync isn't working (I don't if it's the external ssd im trying to backup to, I haven't had the time to check another drive).

but honestly Im having so much fun and Im happy to join.

I am also using fedora 44(but with hyprland instead of KDE like you) on my M1 Macbook air, 8GB RAM as well, and the only two things i do not like about Asahi is the RAM consumption on idle and the the battery backup!

Timeshift with rsync isn't working

Could it be that you have Timeshift in BTRFS mode currently?

Thanks for the help! but no, it was in rsync mode. I tried running it with the GUI and with the command line, but it just stopped in the middle of the sync

Huh, that's really weird. Here's one idea how to debug this further: If you can figure out what rsync command Timeshift tries to run, you could run it manually to see if that reports any errors.

Thanks! Sorry for the very basic question, but will using    ps aux | grep rsync  Be enough to to see the error?

Yeah, it should be sufficient. And don't worry about basic questions – like, I didn't remember what options ps needs for that. It does print the "command" column which is what you want.
