These aren’t good reasons

How do the matrix modules work?

If you could fine one, then maybe

You’re probably right, ashamed I didn’t notice though

Why do you want a successor?

Is it on F-droid?

F-droid has a few decent ones, but it seems it varies by country quite a bit?

dtrx is the way to do it. It’s short for “do the right extraction”, and it just works.

Also, all you have to remember for tar is “-xtract -zee -vucking -files” (extract the fucking files, but first letters only)

Switch to Android is a good first step. Being able to run verified open source software with F-Droid is a good first step!

What is FLOSS?

Rndkbd for switches and lube especially

Can someone explain what this is/does?

Clonezilla is the answer. It has all the options, and just works right the first time

The SSD memory cell failure mode is to retain the last written contents, so I actually don’t think I agree. In the SMART diagnostics, it shows how many of these bad cells are present, which is a reasonable indicator of impending failure from age

Ah yes, inovation. And by innovation, I mean buying the entire manufacuring capability so your competitors can’t use it

SSDs are way more reliable than spinning disks, especially in a laptop that gets banged around. HDDs win in only one category: capacity per price.

Was it once a joke?

It’s a config flag in /etc/fstab

Sometimes it’s okay to use something you’re familiar with and not have to learn (Debian). Fair enough on the snaps though; need to look into them before I form an opinion.

Why away from Ubuntu/Debian?
