Hi,

I've used and continue to use FFS on Windows and it's working quite well. However, I recently decided to start using Linux. In particular I would like to use MX Linux and of course files backup is quite important.The MX Linux Package Installer has v.12.0.2 in Enabled Repos and there is a possibility to install v.12.5 from Flatpack.

Given that my knowledge of Linux is practically nil at this stage, I would therefore like to ask your assistance with the following:

1. Which FFS version should I install?
2. Can I use Job Scheduler to schedule backup tasks?
3. Does FFS have a graphical interface in Linux as it does with Windows?
4. Is there any detailed help to use FFS with MX Linux?

1. Use the official version offered on this website. Others have had issues and they can't be resolved here typically
2. Probably
3. Yes
4. No, not from what I've seen, but it should be very similar between platforms
