Could libraries be able to get grants to pay someone (like me, lol) to help people leave Windows for Linux? (beehaw.org)

Could this be a thing? I'd love to get paid to help people leave Windows and move to Linux Mint, but I'm not sure of where a funding source could come from. I wonder if anyone would know if libraries could possibly be open to such a program.

BackBlaze PC backup is Windows only, you have to do BackBlaze B2 bucket backups instead: https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-back-up-linux-to-backblaze-b2
For games, it's a good idea to check ProtonDB https://www.protondb.com/

I was told by BackBlaze "The error "No such file or directory" means the b2-linux file isn't in the directory where you're running the commands."

So I have to figure that out.

Re: ProtonDB. They're on there.

Which client are you using for BackBlaze?

[–] Elextra@literature.cafe 0 points 2 months ago

Linux Mint

Do I need a Linux application for backblaze b2 as it mentions in your link?
