  1. Just use the “dd” command. It does sector-level copies between volume-image files and actual storage devices. Actually it does other things as well, but that’s a common application.

  2.  @johnstath9666  Just be careful. They don’t nickname it the “data destroyer” for nothing. 😈

  3. Linux has desktop standards the way the car industry has cars. There are way too many of those, don’t you agree? Different size engines, different numbers of seats and doors, different body shapes, different colours -- they can’t even agree on which wheels should be driven by the engine! What the car vendors need to do is agree on one standard configuration. Otherwise these new-fangled vehicles will never take over from the good old horse and carriage.

  4. KDE is for people who want their desktop to look the way they want. There’s a tute somewhere that shows how to make it look like MacOS, if you want. You see, on Linux, the GUI is just another replaceable modular layer, it’s not part of the OS, like it is on those more typical 1990s-era operating systems.
