Hey All,
I am just getting started in my journey. Part of my goals is to de-google my life and am looking to start with my calendar. I want to to sync with my laptop and my phone.
I was going to start reading about nextcould because it seems like it would have the stuff I need and more. My question is what does the community use, so that I can read and research about it. No technical questions yet.

So I am not a professional programmer, but I do like to tinker with projects and just teach myself stuff (in python and now rust).
I currently just install stuff on my linux distro off of the repos or anaconda for python. I've never had any particular issue or anything. I was thinking about maybe moving projects into a container just so that they are more cleanly separated from my base install.
I am mostly wondering about how the community uses containers and when they are most appropriate and when they are more issue than they are worth. I think it will be good for learning, but want to hear from people who do it for a living.
I was wondering how often does one choose to make and keep back ups. I know that “It depends on your business needs”, but that is rather vague and unsatisfying, so I was hoping to hear some heuristics from the community. Like say I had a workstation/desktop that is acting as a server at a shop (taking inventory / sales receipts) and would be using something like timeshift to keep snapshots. I feel like keeping two daily and a weekly would be alright for a store, since the two most recent would not be too old or something. I also feel like using the hourly snapshots would be too taxing on a CPU and might be using to much disk space.
