Use this guide for when you want to configure automated backup/syncing of your Eden save files using *Syncthing* on Linux.

Syncthing Overview
This guide will will try to explain things as clearly as possible, but make some assumptions about your environment and your familiarity with the operating system. Most notably, that you are familiar with the basic operations of your PC (how to download files, how to extract them, etc.). This guide will cover the very basics you need to get up and running - there are substantial advanced options (file versioning, encryption, receive only, etc.) that are not covered.

WARNING: These guides assume that you already have the necessary files (firmware, keys, games, etc.) to run the emulator. Neither the Eden Team nor Their Discord will assist you in obtaining these files. Asking for these files on the Discord may result in a ban from the server without support or chance to appeal.

WARNING: You should manually back up your save files before proceeding with this guide. If you incorrectly perform the steps, you risk losing them!

NOTE: I am using Linux Mint for my guides, but the steps should translate pretty easily to your distro. I hope that if you are running Linux you know the basic operations.
NOTE: Steam Deck users should follow the guide specific to that platform.

Download *Syncthing Tray* from the Flatpak store.
Launch Syncthing Tray to run it, select the Start guided setup on the splash screen that appears and press Next.
It will then look for an existing Syncthing instance to pull settings from, but will likely fail to do so if you are here. Regardless, select the Yes, continue configuration option.
