Maybe GNOME and Mozilla will consider a separate download/package where it is enabled by default, like gnome-desktop-middle-click-to-paste-enabled :D

If it’s gotten to the place where it needs to do an emergency shutdown, either it’s operating outside of specs or the hardware is bad (design or faulty).

Just to add on to your comment: Hardware should not “shut down” due to software operations. Max fan speed and execution slow down, yes, but not a shut down, unless your computer has a function of shutting down when getting hot. Normal operation should just keep going.

That was early windows xp era though

I know AMD had some issues a long time ago with thermal protection. Tom’s Hardware made a video on YouTube where they tested what happens when removing the CPU cooler on a system running Quake 3. As I remember it, all the Intel CPUs survived but most, if not all, the AMD CPUs died, one also damaging the motherboard.

Added bonus is that you always have a screen and keyboard attached in case that you can connect to it remotely.

Good question. maybe I was wrong

Yes, from Debian 12, non-free-firmware is default. Makes it even easier to install.

You forgot the real actual reason: I don’t care about computer stuff. My current computer does what I want and I don’t care to switch.

It is okay not to have the interest in computers. I could probably change the oil on my car but I don’t care and don’t want to do the work, so I don’t do it (the mechanic does).

Yeah, I read this as: YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID, I AM MUCH BETTER THAN YOU

That is really a good way to communicate.

I agree, just have it by project. Otherwise I might have to look in different folders to find something. And what does it add, that something is grouped by language?

I remove files and folders older than 30 days in my Downloads folder. But my work does make me download things that I often only need for less than a day. If I need to keep something, then it goes into whatever folder or online service where it should be. It is deleted to my trash bin and that has another 30 days before being permanently deleted. I haven’t had to pick anything out of the trash just yet.

Come back after a vacation. Asked for all emails that I had actions in. Handled those. Later started going though my emails manually and discovered an important email with “ACTION NEEDED” and work someone directly mentioned me and the action I needed to do and a deadline. Don’t trust it that much now.

Okay, I missed the part where it can show me the apps I’m using. Where do I turn it on?

Thank you - I will try to look into this as it looks nice in the screenshots.

It mimics macOS, however, on the Mac, Apple has got every app (all the ones I use, anyway) to use the top bar for menus, meaning that it is less wasted space. But I don’t really like macOS app/window handling.

I know that journey…

All the basic important things

I’ve did some very light programming on our C64 at 7 or 8. A few years later it was .bat files to do system stuff. Not exactly C or anything but it was fun, gave me an understanding of programming and the computer. Didn’t end up going the developer road but do scripts in-house and for customers.

This. Also, the requirement to get all unique files (guesses OP means personal files) can be hard. In theory, OP should just copy out C:\Users<username> but this also includes a lot of junk from apps. And often, it makes no sense to copy everything, like Chrome, where you’re only interested in a small part of the data and not all the cached objects. Chromium based browser profiles are huge, often with hundreds of thousands of files. You would be better off exporting the data you need and importing them into your new OS/Browser. This also makes sure you can get saved passwords as these are not something you just copy out using raw file copy.

And finally, som uses (and apps) have a habit of saving files to other places like C:\Photos and C:\Movies but also dim things like C:\IntelDriverUpdate (made up name), that also makes it hard for a tool to find the personal files.

At least Mac has the whole menu bar going for it. I started out on GNOME but the empty bar in the top just bothered me. Then I went XFCE but I kept running into small annoyances, that probably could be fixed somehow but I don’t really have time to fight/tweak my computer. And now I’m on Plasma and so far it just works and the small tweaks I have done were quick.

I disliked that look back then and I still don’t like it now. After being happy for GNOME, I’ve now moved over to Xfce. Just random info from me.

They also have LinuxZip installed
