also great for old windows disk recover. Testdisk is awesome

Depends on what I’m doing. For most of my use cases, not really. For universal paperclips, I worry it’ll melt

My t430 is still going, but my x201 is in better shape.

Especially just getting into linux. Ext4 works well enough, when you learn enough to care about what it doesn’t do well try something then

Not really…That’s not a linux user metric it’s a steam user metric. Seems fine to include the steam hardware platform

That comment meant anything that needs root will prompt for it WITHOUT you running as root. Running GUI apps as root directly won’t work well (1, it isn’t a good idea. 2, your user likely owns the X session)

The sun unix keyboard also swaps ctrl and caps lock

For me, it’s building software from source on musl. Just one more variable to contend with

I’m using wayland right now, but still use X11 sometimes. I love the discussion and different viewpoints. They are different protocols, with different strengths and weaknesses. People talking about it js a vitrue in my opinion

looks like this will do it. no-fail and a systemd timeout

Yeah. I’d recommend using ssh keys and disabling password authentication whenever something is exposed to a public network

i’m not an expert, but my reading was that it was hidden in a binary used for testing EDIT: oh yeah, i see what you mean

this was well hidden. not sure anyone would have spotted this by checking commit log

This isn’t DOS and probably isn’t a FAT filesystem. Tilde isn’t a wildcard in linux

I don’t know if millions is as big a number you think it is

i wonder how many old thinkpads are still running linux… Honestly, it’s possible some arbitrary single model may still outnumber steam decks.

Arch was the only thing I could get working on my E200AH when I started. It’s a weird SoC x86_64, with some non-free drivers. Now I can run anything, but the default with arch was figuring out what to do… Debian installer didn’t have a mouse and the keyboard didn’t work right and I just got stuck. Arch installer dropped me into a TTY and made me figure it out

right… but so what? in a relatively sandboxed environment without network access. If I wanna play a random game, it’s there. If I’m using an old phone, old apps are there. I think it’d kill fdroid more to have only 10 new apps per category. Maybe you could maintain your own repo with only fresh updates

especially if there aren’t obvious security concerns. Rather use an android text editor from 6 years ago if it works well than a trash one that’s updated once a month and has a million features i don’t care about

you installed it without uninstalling first? have you tried an apt purge to get rid of related conf files, then reinstall kde?
