I use rsync for virtually every mv/cp-like command that is not a single file from one local disk to a different location on the same local disk. It definitely has some advantages.

I just got a NAS and downloaded all my GOG and Humble games into it. Didn’t even occur to me that something like this existed. I’m going to have to give it a try soon, since it sounds like Linux through Wine is supported.

Recently shot myself in the foot after buying a flagship sony, only to find they do not support bootloader unlock specifically on the US variant. It feels like a conspiracy, since it is practically the same hardware and software otherwise.

Honestly I still often look up alternate documentation, searching “how do I do x?” instead of reading the actual documentation.
