Hey everyone! I'm currently using EndeavourOS and considering switching to CachyOS. On Android, backing up apps is super straightforward with tools like DataBackup, which lets me save around 50 apps in just 10-15 minutes and restore them easily on a new device. Is there a similar method for doing backups on Linux? I heard using Flatpak could simplify the process, but I'm curious if there's a specific distribution that makes app backups easier. Do you think an immutable distro with container support would help with this? Thanks for your insights!

If you're looking to back up everything related to your apps, you might want to consider using Nix (independent from NixOS) for managing your installations, or you could even write a script to automate the process of installing your programs. Just be sure of where app data is stored if you're planning to transfer everything.
Thanks for the quick response! I'm aiming to back up every configuration and setting for the apps, so I don't have to redo anything when switching to a new machine.
