I have a similar entry in fstab for /tmp While re-reading SSDOptimization I came across the notice "/!\ You might also want to be aware of Summary: Moving /tmp to tmpfs makes it useless " Even though it's older than the original article -- SSDs aren't what they used to be... don't need to ...

In an attempt to set up SSD Optimizations (not blacklisted) i followed this instruction https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization#Reduction_of_SSD_write_frequency_via_RAMDISK Although that article has recently received some needed update tweaks: https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization?action=info Muc...

If you think you need/want to install flatpack for whatever reason -

blindly upgrading a system could be an atomic upgrade Which is why, I believe, most/many/all Linux OSs don't just blindly upgrade(?) As mentioned, unattended-upgrade works for blindly upgrading a system. Really, upgrading Debian stable (even testing) is reasonably reliable and basic home users, like...

I have had a dual-socket mother board in the past (way back to Pentium II). It's new the reference of multi-processor refer to more than one actual CPU mounted on the board. Nevertheless /proc/cpuinfo is likely using the core or virtual process equates to a processor or cpu. You may have a different...

Then why are there sometimes four, sometimes eight total "processor 0-7" each with 4 cores depending on OS? The processor is in an interconnect. I've checked proc on other computers and it doesn't look like this. Cores aren't threads. Each cpu you say is a core-thread has its own MHZ? Tha...

@djk44883 thanks for reply, if you mean have latest cinnamon desktop available also in stable via backports I don't have enough time to do and test also it :( mint specific (like mintwelcome) even if someone request them I think is not good have them in debian, I'm wrong? back-port WOW, that would ...

Usually the ALT-drag works for me, on a mate-desktop. Another less reliable method is the TAB key to cycle through the buttons... but you only kind of hope the OK is the first one you can't see - it's a trial and error method.

I use mate-desktop and struggle with this. Dot files are not always sorted first anymore - that's just wrong! I don't have/know the fix - as noted, I believe it does have something to do whit language settings, locales, and/or internationalization configurations. Once I may have figured it out, then...

A couple years later we get a clearer understanding what happened with Cinnamon and Debian. Thanks Fantu for all your effort and work you contribute to projects! I have become comfortable, maybe complacence, with MATE desktop. I like the somewhat simplicity of MATE and Cinnamon. Cinnamon is polished...

THANKS! works well enough

Several months, and versions later - have you been able to restore a debian package search option to firefox's options?

I too noticed it missing. I still have "search debian man pages" but can not get or find a way to add an option to install a package search.

You're right the man page explain how/what the command does - that's it. Not necessarily how or why to use it. Debian does have an extensive documentation, - https://www.debian.org/doc//manuals/debian-handbook/index.en.html "Debian 10 The Debian Administrator's Handbook Debian Buster from Disco...

I am 100% sure dist-upgrade is correct on debian. (but very dangerous on Ubuntu if you have experience there). If dist-upgrade breaks your debian, then you did not follow the anti franken debian best practices. run man apt-get Yes, I read the man page, where it says it can add new and remove some. ...

If you're running stable... and want to keep things stable isn't "best practice" apt get upgrade / apt-get upgrade ? I think you mean # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade First post says they did dist-upgrade ? Suggest they used apt-get (dated). I was showing examples for either at...

If you're running stable... and want to keep things stable isn't "best practice" apt get upgrade / apt-get upgrade ?

Because apt full-upgrade / apt-get dist-upgrade, not only upgrades but installs new and it may remove some. note: install new is not upgrade already installed.

As for "trust" mentioned packages smplayer and palemoon - direct you OBS repositories. Palmoon, directly to Steve's https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:stevenpusser&package=palemoon Smplayer smplayer from home:smplayerdev project - https://software.opensuse.org/dow...

I may have similar struggles. I don't have a fix, just some notes - "Dell Mobility Radeon" This is a laptop? It has an Intel processor, with onboard (discrete) graphics? You just show lspci for the radeon, so I don't know if you do or don't have to video "cards". Just because you...

I have seen that there is a repository for Testing security updates too, is this option for faster security updates? If this is referring to http://security-cdn.debian.org/debian-security/dists/bullseye-security/ Then I don't believe so. It's my understanding, it's there as part of the structure......

This ~/ is the same as this /home/username when you're logged in as root user or running something as root, the root user acct has it's own /home directory. So what you were doing was sending hi world to /home/root/Documents not your normal users Documents directory. Yep no worries this type of thi...
