Yes, this was a strange one, as my phone told me it was installed and just needed to boot this morning, normally i have to tell it to download first, so a strange one...

I've stopped using lineage as i changed the pixel3 for a 6a, so stock android. Although at the time I could get PayPal to work my banking app was a no no

It sounds like the best option would be a dual boot, Linux for everything except games and when you want to play just boot into Windows. If you do this i would strongly suggest a two HD set up, one for windows and one for Linux, for two reasons, if you don't like Linux then you still have the original windows setup, two Windows will at one moment wipe the dual boot grub and you'll 'lose' the Linux startup, unless you have one OS per Hard Disk. I don't game anymore. Like you I also have an old card Gtx760 🤣🤣

Try Lineage. I ran it on my Pixel 3 for about two years when Google stopped updating it. Then when I decided to sell it, just reflashed the Google OS back on it

Like you i switched from about 30 years of windows to Linux almost three years ago, Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Endeavour before ending up with Arch which I find perfect. I also have two PCs running Debian for HomeAssitant setups in two homes but I don't like Debian I sometimes use my wife's Windows setup for Garmin Express as that's the only windows program that I need. So keep on going, Windows is not missed,

Thanks, I thought so, but preferred to ask. Thrn yes much better than a Pi and if yours is like mine then not much bigger

First dopey question, what is a NUC? It's probably a computer but? If so same'ish story here went from a Pi4 to a Lenovo Tiny PC (reconditioned from Amazon at 100 euros) then sold the raspberry for 65 euros 🤣 Far faster and better, installed Debian Bookworm, Docker and then did a new Mosquitto and HA supervisor installation. Far better 👍

Try this journalctl -xb -u cronie. It will show you any errors

Timeshift. Easy to set up. Easy to use, only takes a couple of minutes to 're-set' your system back, if you break it. If you want just to backup files, documents etc then Cron. I use both. They are standard Linux programs and easy to use

Are you in windows or Linux?

They must have got this right finally. I tried that years ago, it took hours, where as Dropbox took a couple of seconds. And as I only use DB for that now. Never bothered changing it
