Sorry for chuckling at your disappointment.

I try to follow Bash strict mode. It can protect you from some foot shooting.

No thanks

Yes, unstable Debian is still hella stable. But you probably don’t want to suggest it as the first Linux dust since you need some extra carefulness when updating.

You cannot seed files that are altered. It’s not the same files anymore.

So yes, as long as you want to continue sending, you need to keep the original files around.

Won’t that allow for crap to fall into the USB port?

Try Rdx, it’s great for read access to Reddit.

More info in the GitHub repo.

Now my 1000/1000 for 429 SEK (about 40$) doesn’t sound as good. At least the candy is cheaper here in Sweden.

Yes, the top most directory, /, is the root directory.

Each directory is a branch in one giant tree structure. For example, if you have a directory containing two other directories, that is a branch that is splitting into two branches. All directories are descendants of the same root.

“Compatible” with Microsoft Office, just don’t expect for your colleagues to be able to open the document in Microsoft Office after you edited it in LibreOffice.

Edit: Don’t expect your colleagues to be able to open it without the layout being broken.

Gnome with the gTile extension is quite nice.

It’s enough that you have read the code before implementing an alternative to get into legal trouble.

If it works and you are still figuring things out, I suggest not taking specific action right now. Use your package manager to keep your system up to date and it will deal with this in due time.

The downside with the PC approach is support for other streaming apps. Starting Netflix (or any other) via the browser from a remote is not a nice UX. If this is not a needed use case, an existing pc might be a good choice.

You can usually switch the default in bios.

I didn’t even see that picture in the OP. What that diagram calls a view I would call a viewport. But yes, it would have been better to use the same terminology as OP.

In the beginning, the mouse did not have a wheel. The only way to move the view was by dragging the scrollbar with the mouse pointer. So when we got mouse wheels, it was easy to just connect the wheel to the scrollbar. And thus the traditional direction makes sense since you are moving the scrollbar, not the view. With time, the scrollbars became more and more hidden, and we got a disconnect between what we were scrolling (the almost hidden scrollbar) and what we thought we were scrolling (the view). When you think of it as manipulating the view directly, the natural scroll makes sense. Because that is what we do in touch devices (manipulate the view directly).

That said, I use traditional scrolling because it’s what I am used to.

Sweden

I don’t worry about money since the treatment is free and sick people get money from the government during recovery.

I’ve never seen a cat where this is not the case. It’s great when it’s time to top off the rental car.
