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.

What are you using instead of Google Photos?

I'm the other way round, email was the first thing I degoogled. It's Photos I don't know how to replace.

"The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!"

I'm aware :) really, anyone that backs up anything at all shouldn't be using ONE THING for backups.

Personally, I use it to "sync" photos from my phone to my computer. I run nightly backups via a cron script.

Still, can't say I've had any issues so far
