Windows has acl-esque write protection in the file settings or for whole folders.
Otherwise you can create 7z or tar.*z archives from your files and directories. They have builtin checksums and recovery options exist.

If you want to make a file immutable on linux you can use the following terminal commands:

sudo chattr +i filename

If you want to undo the file immutability, type:

sudo chattr -i filename

If you want to make an entire Directory with all its contents immutable, type:

sudo chattr -R +i path/to/directory

and to undoo, type:

sudo chattr -R -i path/to/directory

chattr works directly on the file-system level , which means it's more robust than the usual user-privilege and file-permissions stuff.

if you want to check the immutability status you can type

lsattr filename

it'll give you an output with lots of dashes if it's got a -i- within the dashes that means the immutability is set.

there's lots of tutorials with more information and functionality like this one

A leftist with braindamage? Imagine that.

Software engineers use something called version control which tracks exactly what changed in a file and at what time the change happened (and who changed it if you are working with multiple people). If you're using some kind of office software that it might have version control functionality built in.

You could also do something simpler like create a new file for each change

2023-09-25_loserchan.net.txt
2023-09-26_loserchan.net.txt
That takes a little more discipline though.

OP you need to start using linux my friend if you aren't already.

This, install gentoo MX Linux, or AntiX (if you love a shitty UI).

Alternatively, regularly sudo move and chown your files to a different user account.
You can automate this with a suid root script to avoid fucking up with typos.

Also consider reducing the consumption of whatever drug you're overdoing and meet some people IRL before schizophrenia gets you into serious trouble.

im learning to use linux

>when can i use Arc ?
If you are talking intel arc graphics, that should work out of the box without a fuss on any linux with a kernel 6.2 or newer
To find out your kernel version, open a terminal and enter the command:

uname -r

For example on Ubuntu that would be the two latest releases
23.10 Mantic Minotaur 6.5
23.04 Lunar Lobster 6.2
