Makes sense!

Where does Debian fit

Can someone explain why global flatpaks are installed in /var/lib and not /opt or /usr/local?

Fantastic, Linux needs tools like this for users who need to make occasional changes and inspect systemd.

For inspiration, I would suggest you also look at LaunchControl, which is a GUI tool to administer launchd on macOS.

With the Reboot Into Selected, will this modify the next boot only without changing the default?

I miss the KDE 3.x crystal theme

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!

FHS is an absolute dumpster fire that would never be dreamed up in this day and age

Thanks, I hate it

Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.

I often use fields, so I have to go back to desktop Word eventually to add them in. 🥲

Users only use a fraction of the feature set but everyone uses a different fraction 😂

How good are VMs at booting a physical partition?

I think it depends. If it’s a quick thing that requires no clarification, email or text all the way. But if you need to tease out fine details, a phone call is much faster and easier.

We need more browser engines, especially those that are under NFP ownership. WebKit and Chromium have become too dominant.

Phone etiquette for the 2020s:

Message:

Hi, I wanted to talk about X. I think it’ll take about 5-10 minutes. When would be a convenient time to call?

Phone calls themselves don’t annoy me. People who expect to call you at any time and then get upset you won’t drop what you’re doing to speak to them annoy me.

Me: how many applications have you got installed? SimplyMepis: Yes.

Confidential projects, etc. amirite?

Reading pages out loud has been an unexpected hit for me on the latest iOS. I’d love this in Firefox too.
