From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was configuring syncthing and I don't know if it would be better to sync specific files that I need or just sync the whole android storage into a folder in my computer so that I can modify anything from it. What do you sync between linux and android?

I have two folders in sync, the Linux one in ~/sync and the Android one in /storage/emulated/0/sync. There I keep a bin folder with a few executables, the code folder with a subfolder for each language, the config folder to save the software configuration, a text folder, the dotfiles, the keepass file. The only things I actually use on Android are the text folder and the keepass file so I'll probably change it to sync only those. The applications abuse the XDG_CONFIG_HOME folder to save things that shouldn't go there, so that folder takes more space than I would like.
