I'm looking for a straightforward way to back up my entire operating system, including all settings and programs, before I make some changes. I've come across a lot of different backup solutions, but they all seem overly complicated. Is there a simple, user-friendly method to back everything up? Please explain in a way that's easy to understand because I'm not very tech-savvy, especially compared to how straightforward it is on Mac. Thanks!

If you're looking for something really simple, try Foxclone. It's reliable and doesn't over-complicate things like some other tools do.
Have you checked out Timeshift? It’s a user-friendly option that focuses on backing up system files and settings, though it doesn't save personal files. It’s pretty straightforward to use!
I personally use CloneZilla. It's free and open-source, and while it’s a bit more involved, it can do a great job of creating backups.
Yeah, Timeshift is great! Just remember, you’ll need to back up your personal files separately.
