Worth mentioning that the fix was merged into 6.19.12 (and 7.0; probably also the LTSs, but I didn’t bother to check those).

In my experience (with a networked HP printer), both printing and scanning just work out-of-the-box with the standard Linux tools. CUPS really is great.

In order to make the kernel option persist, you will have to add the option to your bootloader config. Ubuntu probably uses grub, but in any case, I never can remember how to configure any of the bootloaders. Someone here can probably help out (or it’ll be a quick search away, I’m sure).

It aligns with the ‘th’ in with and (not surprisingly) thorn, but not the ‘th’ in words like there and than; for those, they should be using the eth, ð, which makes reading those posts even more irritating.

Also, arch is way less intimidating than its reputation suggests; especially on a secondary PC, where you can just run off to your main PC to look at the arch wiki.

Other than that, I suppose something like AntiX would probably run not-terrible on it as well.

I like wlogout, I’ve mapped the power button to launch it.

If your position as a civil servant involves official communication with companies, you’re going to need the § sign a lot on a daily basis, and the Nordic countries have basically always had large public sectors.

Nah, rollbacks are a feature to save you when it has broken. A good one indeed, but it’s more akin to a fire extinguisher. It doesn’t prevent the problem, but it does prevent everything from being a pile of ashes.

Turn the page about 45 degrees clockwise, you’ll write more straight across the page and the pen will work better because you’re not pushing it. Experiment until you find the angle that works best for you.

Additional bonus: No more smudges on your hand/the page.

Well, OP only specified that they’d been using Linux for about a decade; no mention of their laptops not being from the early 90s. :)

Great operating system, that. Shame it lacks a text editor.

Here’s one for less than 4 USD. I imagine 150 mm in length would be sufficient.

They know about it; doesn’t mean they actually did anything to counter it.

The issue is not ammonia (at least not when it comes to urine) but rather urea, which also reacts with hypochlorite to create chloramines.

Kubuntu on my desktop, I prefer KDE as a DE and I’m used to the Debian ecosystem.

Linux Mint on my relatively low powered laptop that I rarely use.

Debian stable on my media server.
