From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This looks nice, good job!
On a related note, does anyone have any good reasons as to why I should be using Restic instead of Borg? (my Borg backups are all local btw - generally they're snapshots of various projects I'm working on, so I don't need any cloud features).
I like restic because everything seems to happen client-side, and the client pushes the encrypted backups to the server without having to install restic on the back end.
That said, I've never needed to restore my data with either backup solution, so I can't speak to the validity of the backups.
I use restic but I switched from Borg because of the cloud features. Outside of that, there's not a lot of differences really. If you're happy with Borg keep with it.
