This is a sub that aims at bringing data hoarders together to share their passion with like minded people.

I've been following this sub for a while mainly because I have a bit of hoarding tendency lol. Not quite as extreme as most here. Mostly old computer software, drivers, "media" and info I find useful. I've seen and figured out how to grab YouTube videos which seemed helpful and it was pretty easy.

Now I've seen a lot of people saving websites due to the government removal of content and shutdown of sites. I don't really have the room for all this but I would like to back up websites of some of my geology resources. I used to copy a few things and just bookmark sites. I've been sorting and backing up a lot of my hoard and came across my geology folder. I clicked on a few random bookmark links and they are gone. Which brings me here to ask, what's easy to use, using Linux?

I originally just copied text and paste into office. What a pain.

Next saving every page in Firefox one page after another was a pain too after about 5 pages and I gave up there.

Next I tried Htttrack? And it didn't work at all. Main page flashing rapidly and all links error out. Pretty sure I selected everything.

None of the stuff I want to save requires a sign in as of now. Is it possible to save a site and it's links? So I can browse offline ?

If I really would be better off using windows, I do have a win10 machine though I hate using windows anymore. So freaking slow to boot and always wants to update...
