I don’t get that, be careful, might be a bad device? Also might want to try other chargers

System can always be reinstalled, just backup your data, that’s the important part. Can recommend Duplicati for windows and Pika backup for Linux (borg frontend that makes it easy).

Good to hear! I run it headless on my server

I agree fully. But in this post’s comments people don’t seem to understand how RAM use works.

It should be used… It is good… Not using it is bad!

What? I do not understand…

Ai users? Using iot???

I do not see any relevance, sorry.

This thread is full of misconceptions about RAM use. It is normal and efficient for an OS to reserve memory for processes even if it not really used. This memory will be juggled around in case that is needed. It would be very bad for a modern OS if you somehow lowered your used RAM to near 0%. That would make the computer slower.

See for example this: https://www.linuxatemyram.com/

The same thing goes for Windows. It reserves RAM to be used. Like it should be.

Sure, Windows is bloated.

But posting screenshots of your task manager tells us nothing. If it uses 30% of your RAM at start time, that’s fine. Or not. Can’t really tell.

There are people who can’t see

I would recommend pika for easy backup, steamdeck (or even a windows pc) could have problems with cloud saves. If you want real backups you should set up deduplicated archives. This means you just install pika and click a couple times. You can set it to backup over ssh. The deduplicated compressed backup is often smaller than source data size even if it has years of archives.

Until you find out it’s not one.

It’s not, check it out…

Gen A?

I can recommend duplicati on windows or pika backup (which is a borg backup gui) on linux. Then just make a user on raspberry pi and enter the ssh login in your backup client and you’re set.

Duplicati / Pika / Borg will encrypt the backups for you! So there is no danger of someone reading or changing your backups. You could use even some free cloud storage to store the backups safely. It really doesn’t matter where you store them.

Rsync won’t deduplicate or make archives so you cannot restore a backup from any chosen date. Rsync is sync not backup.
