All Linux Things

I follow that logic. I appreciated bug fix updates. Sometimes feature updates, are more annoying than helpful. I did not know that XFCE started being like CDE, and maybe if I knew that back when, I would have looked more closely at XFCE. I keep a VM of Solaris 9 going just to use CDE. CDE as far as ...

Just out of curiosity why did you pick LMDE over just using Debian with the Cinnamon DE?

Raspberry Pi foundation has announced the release of the Raspberry Pi 5. It will be available in October. It looks like it gets a pretty good speed bump and an independent I/O chip. The full announcement can be read at <https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/> I would like to up...

This link showed up in the Kubuntu Focus news letter today. It covers integrating "secrete keeping" applications in KDE. <https://kfocus.org/wf/passwords.html> I have always just used the KDE Wallet when using the Plasma desktop. This covers that, but also covers using other secret keeping...

I have always thought the ideal OS would be self maintaining or self regulating. I personally do not know about the inner workings of an OS to know whether or not it is secure or current or what the dangers of sticky where I am or updating or downgrading might be. Applications for me are a different...

Live and learn I guess. That is convenient for testing things out, but I am not sure I would want that for my main secure system. I will need to think this over some more. Makes me glad though for all my reqular working hardware I have my drives encrypted.
