Best way to make a save of my whole system on an external drive. (Linux-CachyOS)

Hi as the title already says, do I want to ask what the best way is to save my whole
CachyOS-system on an external drive. No fancy automatic saving on a NAS or something like that, just simply plugging the drive in to the PC making with for example a program a whole save on my drive and that's it. And can also someone explain that if it should happen that something happens to the PC how I can revive my system with the save?

Is it possible to use an iPhone 6 as a smartphone still today?

I'm thinking about getting an iPhone 6s Plus to use it as an iPod but also as a dumbphone to also communicate with it with Whatsapp and maybe I will also install Google Drive on it.
So I wanted to ask if it is even possible to get an iPhone 6s plus nowadays with the ability to download apps from the appstore and how secure is it to use it now that it gets, as far as I know, no updates anymore if I only use the apps and don't browse with it.

Qin F25 vs Dumber mini

I'm looking for a more minimalistic phone which is good at doing the smart parts of a smartphone like doing Whatsapp, NFC-pay, being able to install pretty much every application etc.
but also being bad at doing the distracting parts of a smartphone, so the display shouldn't be too big, scrolling through social media should be annoying etc.

Those who fitted by research the most to me in terms of functions and designs are Qin F25 and the dumber mini.

So I wanted to ask you which one is the better choice for me?

The things that are important to me:

-Dual Sim(idc if it has slots for two sim cards or only one and the other one is e-sim)

-The network connection should minimum work well in Europe and in Asia(like China, Taiwan, Japan etc.)

-battery: It should be able to survive easily one day without taking care about dim the brightness or something similar

-Security Updates: How reliable are their security updates? And which one of them is the more secure OS in general? I don't expect a super secure OS because as I have mentioned I also want to be free in my usage but it would still interest me which one is the more secure one.

-NFC: I know that both have NFC but I really would like to still use Google Pay and as far as I know is the dumber mini only able to use curve pay

-Camera: Not the most important point, also because I've read that they are in their segment one of the best devices with a camera but it would still interest me which one of them takes the better pictures and videos.

Hi, since I switched from Windows to Cachy I'm all in all very happy.
The design is very minimalistic, everything runs fast, it almost feels like I got a new PC but I also have some issues I couldn't really fix so I hope u guys can help me with that.

Some informations about my system which might be important:
-Desktopenvironment: KDE Plasma

-WM: KWin (Wayland)

-GPU: GTX 1070

My first problem is Discord: I always used to have the notificationsounds off so I only get notified by the Discord-Icon on my taskbar. But now it woun't work and I don't know why.
I've installed it as AUR/Pacman-package, I've turned the Hardwareacceleration off.
Idk is there some other more integrated version of Discord for Linux in general cuz the same issue I also have on Linux Mint-Cinnamon.

Another problem is that I can't use the middle button of my mouse to scroll when I click on it.
I have really gotten used to it, when I worked on Windows and now I only can use it on my Browser which is pretty annoying.

My last big problem is the sound. When I'm using my headphones everything works fine but when I want to switch to my speakers they do work sometimes but definetly not always. I know that is not perfect when you connect your speakers to your Monitor I also had the same issues on Windows but I could easily fix that when i went to the sound settings. Is there also some solution. In the beginning I could fix it by typing "systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber" in the terminal but for some reason this does not work anymore.
