Ok, how do I use rsync on the deck then? (/s, but I’d still love to know)

Are you not aware of “Desktop mode”? Hold down the power button for a few seconds, click “switch to desktop mode,” and you’re literally using a fully functioning Linux PC.

  1. Turn on
  2. Open desktop mode (in power menu I think)
  3. Open terminal
  4. Type rsync <source> <destination>
  5. Press enter

Wait, its installed by default? I assumed I had to install it, which would not be possible, because its immutable and there is no rsync flatpak (I think).

You can just install a distro of your choice on it that might or might not be immutable if you want. In the end, yes, it is a PC

Just… do it? It’s just a normal Linux underneath.
