I would like to distro hop to EndeavourOS, and it has been suggested that I use rclone to copy my home folder to an external SSD. Unfortunately, I don’t have an external SSD at the moment, but I do have a phone that has plenty of free space. Is it a good idea to back up my computer files to an Android phone? My gut says it’s not a very good idea, but I’m not sure why.

    at the moment

    Get the proper tools to do the job right. There’s no gun to your head making you distrohop, so this isn’t an emergency. Just wait to get a real SSD first.
