Re: [O/S] Unwanted folder in every new user's home directory

@qoozh - If you don't want to have any (or some) of the directories created, simply comment the ones you don't want to be created, out. For the others that are already created, simply delete them.

Re: [Software] Authy removal

I'd be curious to know if you see it listed in synaptic. If its shown there, there is a chance to remove it. Have you tried dpkg also? I assume you have but thought it worth mentioning. Also worth noting, there may be an uninstall script somewhere where the app resides. Doesn't happen often, but som...

I think @NorthEast hit it right on the money (assuming translate actually means translated based on the languages the Op has setup during install).

Re: [Software] Authy removal

Authy does not appear to be in packages from buster through experimental, therefore, unsupported by Debian and appears to be a snap, and since it appears to be a snap (also appears to still be in Beta (?))
you might be better severed via SnapCraft OR from the folks that created Authy.

Re: [Software] Best software for a backup server

For home networking with a "minimal" front end, I like UrBackup. For the most part, its a front end for rsync. Of course, there is BackupPC. A bit more complex with the ability to backup clients. Rsnapshot (as mentioned above) and rdiff backup, both of which I have used at various times in...

While it is possible to to place a password within the script, it's not a good idea for obvious reason.

This isn't a question but more of a here's what I did as a possible way of using a password within a script. In my case, my croned backups that run and encrypt tarball backup that I'll use a password to decrypt. While it is possible to to place a password within the script, it's not a good idea for ...

Re: fonts are too small

Could also be that the Op is speaking of the txt size within either Chromium of Firefox, yanno - that Control mouse wheel zoom and not actually the overall fonts of the system or the resolution. But most likely not. Sometimes ya need clarification.

Forcing me to jump into a newer set of software that I'm not ready to use for whatever reason... which seem to be a big thing in general here.

Agreed - if you have the means to do so, it may take additional time to find out, try this within a VM. Of course, this may be easier said than done. But at least its an option to consider while still keeping your original install left untouched. Interesting though, that forums "could" be ...

I think something changed when the switch was made to openprinting. I have had a similar issue with my HP.

"Linux distributions that meet the following requirements should also work:
Linux Kernel 4.1 or higher
glibc 2.20 or higher
libstdc++ 6.0.20
ncurses 5, newer distributions with ncurses 6 will need to install the ncurses 5 library for compatability "
