Exactly what should have been done 20 years ago. Instead, they've built tons of bikes in the form of containers, flatpacks, snappers, and other nonsense - just so they don't have to throw out a 60's piece coprolite called FHS.

Borg to a NAS, and that mirrored to Backblaze

truly a blessing every time that cat jpg makes an appearance

No problem. I think in my case only Wine/Proton games were doing it and native Linux games were fine. I shake my fist at Nvidia and carry on.

That'd do it, standard inclusion with my distro

Previously it was just societal expectations but apparently it's not that anymore. since when is going to the dentist the only societal expectation? since when is that a societal expectation at all? education lot of places that force you to install spyware for the online exams banks that intentionally break their websites on "unsupported" systems workplaces where people work with computers, basically generally, becausre of ms office and supervision software

Pcmanfm? Nemo? However, if one does not need a GUI I would suggest ranger, nnn or alike.

I think I'm able to say now that I'm a seasoned Linux user, possibly even an advanced user. But, I'm still considering replacing windows 11 on my gaming PC with bazzite. Just because it's easy mode, doesn't make it inferior in any way. I'm not suggesting that's what your inferring, just felt like chiming in

Nice, how does it compare to Kdenlive?

I think your assessment of Linux Mint with XFCE is a really good first choice. Cinnamon could be worth a try though as the UI is a bit more modern looking. I'm biased towards XFCE because it looks fine and runs extremely well on old laptops. I've got a laptop from 2008 running it and it's honestly a usable machine again.

way more simple to use and maintain for users. aerynos behaves almost exactly like a traditional distro with the exception of the /usr stuff

Check my second point and link.

Haven't heard of it til now

To me, the potential point of confusion is referring to "sent by Ctrl+D" and things "received by the end process" as synonymous, ignoring the tty driver in between. When you Ctrl+d, you send a magic byte value to the tty master (which I would refer to as a EOF character, but I understand the argument against the terminology). On the other side of it the process doesn't receive this value, but instead has its read call returned even if the buffer is 0. A simple example hopefully highlighting the difference Window1: nc -nvlp 5555 #"far nc" Window2: nc -nv 127.0.0.1 5555 #"local NC" Hi there[Enter] Hi [Ctrl+D]There[Ctrl+D][Enter] Window3: strace -p [pid of local nc] Window2: [Right arrow][Right arrow][Ctrl+D] [Ctrl+D]Uh oh[Enter] What we see is pretty much as described. From the first line, we see "Hi there\n" on the other side. For the second line, we first see "Hi " appear, then "There" then "\n". From the third line, in the strace we can see the sequences representing the right-arrow key, and we can see the tty driver on the far side takes those sequences and interprets them to render the cursor two characters to the right. The fourth line is where it gets more interesting. We send the tty driver the EOF byte, and the tty driver interprets this and gives the current active tty client a 0-byte return to read() and assumes we have no more data to send. But unlike bash, nc doesn't care about a 0-byte read and is still looking for more data (as we can see in the strace). But if we continue to type and send more data (the "Uh oh"), we can see in the strace that the tty never sends this to the nc. So, to some definition, we're still sending data to the local nc, but the tty driver isn't actually relaying it

Did you compile the kernel by yourself, or used Mainline to install?

Yep, I still use X2go to get a remote graphical display from my machines at the data center while I work on them from home. It also provides sound and remote printing and leverages scp to transfer files.
