^ if there's one thing you have ample of native linux choices, it's coding editors.
i mean, why not, but i really don't see the point of firing up notepad++ in wine...

incidentally, there's also notepadqq.

HD tune &/or another disk benchmarking tool. (For Slackware in particulair)

A read and write + bad block etc benchmarking tool. HDTune from windows to linux would be great.

Especialy for Slackware.

Sincerely,

rootict.

If you like N++, then Linux has you covered. There are literally 100s of similar (if not better) editors available - no need for Wine. My own fav is Kate.

You can always boot off a Macrium Reflect Rescue Media ISO image (I do this to image my partitions).

Yeah, it would be nice to have some sort of utility for making bootable clones. So far, the only backup programs I’ve found for Linux just back up individual files instead of making a bootable clone. Though I think I’ve also been spoiled by Apple's Time Machine - not to be confused with Apple’s Time Capsule.

Where to begin, how about the middle of the Pacific Ocean going straight towards -29.3800809, -137.1018219‽

I forgot all about that. Though, I’ve been wondering if it just does a clone every time or if it can add to an existing clone.

Linux doesn't need defragmentation as far as I know... Then again if you're using an NTFS external HDD...

If it's NTFS or FAT32 best bet would be a Windows VM really. Or just reformat to a Linux FS (yeah not always feasible)
