Does anybody have experience with the apps Neo Backup, DataBackup or ideally both?I would like to know if there are any differences in terms of functionality, capability or reliability? Like, is there some kind of app data, that one can backup/restore while the other can't? Are there speed differences in the backup/restore process? etc.
I've searched the internet for some comparisons but couldn't find much.
For context: I want to transfer all my apps to a new phone. In the past, I've used Titanium Backup for this, but it doesn't seem to be very up-to-date anymore. Now, Neo Backup and Data Backup seem to be the most promising (besides maybe SwiftBackup, but that's not open source and only available through the Play Store, it seems).
So now I could of course just use one app first, backup everything on my old phone, restore everything on the new one and then look through all the apps to see what worked and what didn't. But it would be easier if I could get a hint on which one might be more suitable for my needs 😀Also, if you would recommend to use another app instead, please tell me!
Thank you all!

Neobackup seems to create more organised backups (I think I prefer their file structure), but I think it still fails to restore work profile apps.
Thus I use neobackup for my main storage and databackup for workprofile:)

Democrats, including those eyeing a 2028 presidential run, are flailing as it becomes clear that supporting Israel is now a political loser. While politicians navigate this new terrain, pro-Israel groups are scrambling to rebuild liberal support.

Hi! Thanks for reading this post.
Disclaimer: I've already figured out how to dual boot SteamOS & Windows 10 on my Steam Deck (see this post), but things haven't gone the smoothest - hence this post and learning more about using Linux in general as a current Windows user.
Recently my Surface Pro 6 laptop, which runs one of the latest Windows 11 updates (23H2), updated to one of the new releases (24H2), and that completely bricked my laptop (bricked as in slow asf). I was able to revert back to 23H2 thankfully, but the fact that Microsoft can brick my device without my consent is unacceptable.
So, I'm hoping to learn how to install Linux and a good distro/DE combo like Fedora KDE. The Steam Deck Desktop Mode runs KDE, which I have to say sits well with my Windows sensibilities.
I also see value in dual booting though. I know about Ventoy and GParted because I used those softwares on my Steam Deck, but I was following a guide and didn't really understand what I was doing. Ventoy seems better than the alternatives like Balena and Rufus due to the multi-boot functionality.
With that all out of the way, I have questions:
Thanks for the help!
P.S. I'm pretty sure my laptop has these specs, if that helps.

Hey, I wrote a simple intro recently from guiding two friends into Fedora KDE without any previous knowledge. Its just an introduction really, but covers some basics.
mag37.org/posts/guide_newtolin…
It does not cover dual booting though. As they both decided to fully swap after brief testing.
Others already mentioned Ventoy and that bricking isn't really a risk - the worst you'd encounter is a complete wipe and restart so make sure you've got things backed up either way.

The Anti-AI Protests Have Arrived in Portland, and This is Only the Beginning
By @jaredwhite | @theinternet
According to reports from pro-#AI attendees at a business meetup in #Portland, #Oregon, anti-AI protesters showed up outside, throwing eggs and paint at cars and distributing pamphlets with the following message:
“BUTLERIAN JIHAD AGAINST AInever ending destruction and death propels the machine of progress. AI rides on the front of this beast, annihilating humanity, leaving nothing in its wake but sterile boxes to lock us in and apps to keep us sedated. while the techies are inside sipping their cocktails the rest of us are faced with a choice: to accept our position at the bottom of the social order or find our people and bring the whole thing down. only we can decide to smash the screens that are brainwashing us into submission.
the time is now,
the day is here,
ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!”
