BSPWM user here: Desktops are 1-10 Super + Enter: Terminal on desktop 1 Super + F: Firefox on Desktop 2 Super + D: File manager on Desktop 3 (D for data) Super + Space: Rofi dmenu Super + Shift + Space: Rofi Run
Discord and Telegram (or any other messengers for that matter) are always Desktop 10 so they aren’t in the way of anything.
And any other desktop is whatever I need to use in that regard, sorted thematically amd depending on task
I use timeshift on my arch, debian and fedora systems. First backup mirrors your whole drive, every new backup kinda does it like docker, files which stayed the same are being symlinked to the og backup and for file changes it puts the newer file into the next backup, file deletions just don’t get links, so you have versioning. U can set how often backups will happen daily/weekly/monthly and how many are kept, doing backups manually is an option too. also you can set what folders to include, exclude and all that good stuff.
