I just reinstalled Debian 13 on my laptop which used to have Debian 12, and now I'm rsyncing my files back onto it from an external. I noticed that Debian's new permissions are 775 for dirs and 664 for files, when they had been 755 for dirs and 644 for files back on 12. So the umask changed from 0022 to 0002.
Is it ok if I just rsync these back as is? Most of them will be on the desktop and are just text and media files, with some scripts.
I initially tried to use this rsync command going from external -> laptop, which worked as expected:
sudo rsync -axPAXH --stats --chmod=D775,F664 /media/username/external1/desktop/ /home/username/Desktop
But then trying to backup to the external (going from laptop -> external), which I had been doing prior, didn't work because now all the permissions were "updated" on the source. It wanted to bring everything back over.
So I guess my long winded question is this:
Will I be fine keeping the Debian 12 D755,F644 permissions for my desktop files on my new Debian 13 install, which uses D775,F664 permissions? I'm the only user of this machine.
