  1. You've got Black and White working? I've smashed my head against that one before but never got it going.
  2. The issue is that the copy protections check for a physical disk (with various methods) sometimes "Windows" ISO tools work better (CDEmu CloneDrive...) you would need to run them in the same wine prefix. But the easier way might be to find a nocd "patch" for your application ;)

You can .... WHAT!?

Wow I did not know that. Incredibly helpful

Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are

systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top) And then systemctl list-units --failed To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.

On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is "up and running" just by systemds status

I agree but recently the user themes extension broke notifications and I've already slimmed down my extensions to only the most necessary ones ... So now I'm honestly thinking about trying Plasma properly.

MHH interesting. I honestly haven't really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner ...) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.

Incredibly I've had two printers I've never really had issues with.

  1. The brother laser my sister uses with Ubuntu without a hitch since forever
  2. The canon inkjet printer/scanner that is wifi connected in my flatshare

Antennapod does offer that by hooking into the gpodder.net API.ive had varying success with gpodder.net but hosting that yourself (I host it as an app on my Nextcloud) is a breeze

Oh I can be mad about it >:(

Seriously gateways should be first or last address in the space. Fight me!

As a Linux nerd and Privacy/Open source advocate it's tough to admit. But I can't use DuckDuckGo. I work as a Linux Sysadmin and Google is the only search engine reliably returning good results (especially on more obscure topics). With DuckDuckGo I've often noticed that it will simply "drop" words from you search terms (i.e. if you search "yellow computer chair" it might just show you any kind of yellow chair or something like that) which makes it unusable for precise searches.

Can't quite speak for the n100 but I got a n305 one of these "China PCs" it's passively cooled (which was important since it's running in my bedroom) and seems to have amazing performance for what I need (I put jellyfin on there). I'm quite happy after futzing around with ARM SBCs and external drives this just works so well.

Jup same here. We have a colleague that constantly reminds everyone that we're not properly patched (even running eol versions) but there's always something to be done that's a higher priority.
