I have nothing particular to suggest but I just want to say this sounds great and happy to see. Enjoy!

As you mentioned Linux Mint is very beginner friendly so I’d recommend that.

let me think about this one… mmmm, no

considering all the international resolutions and breaches of international law by Israel for almost all of its existence, the crippling sanctions are welcomed any time now.

ok so will they:

1. Disarm Israel from being able to commit its genocide and ethnic cleansing?

2. Not allow Israel to continue to maintain and expand its settlements, all illegal under international law?

3, Sanction Israel until it dismantles its non-democratic and exclusionary state based on ethnonationalist exclusionary politics?

4, Ensure the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants living many living in refugee camps and are stateless people, and allow them to return into their homes since the 1948 nakba?

5. Work on an international framework to ensure just reparations for the Palestinians are ensured?

I don’t think they will do anything close to any of those points and this is just mere political posturing to protect themselves from allowing a genocide to happen while the ‘international community’ stood and watched and did nothing.

It’s a bit insulting how they think they can dictate the terms of justice with their vague statements.

It’s been decades many states have recognized Palestine as a state. Look where we are at today.

Thank you for your reply, this is helpful to know.

That’s what I currently do as well, I just backup particular .config subfolders and other directories. I’ll probably continue to avoid just raw transferring an entire home directory on a new install.

i love my collection. no one will take my precioussss

that’s a good question and I’m not sure. Worth it to find out, but personally I don’t dual boot with Windows. I just have my main linux install and use a virtual machine. I never have needed to use a windows virtual machine but it would be interesting if I could activate it with the copy that came with my laptop.

Unless that copy is registered to my microsoft account? I have no idea that’s how much I try to avoid windows now

This is the way.

On a related note, would you recommend restoring an entire home directory (including the dot files and all the dot directories) once I reinstall all the packages after a fresh install? Would it basically replicate my restored setup or would there be random issues that emerge? I’m thinking particular system settings related to kde/gnome settings, but others I might not be aware of.

lol any EU bureaucrat who thinks otherwise is either a useful idiot or themselves compromised?

sir your website is not working for me

we might laugh at this but I think this is useful. Even though I wouldn’t use something like this and I’d just use a regular dedicated blank notebook and my password manager, it can be useful to people who have problems with computers and can’t handle a password manager, yet may give pages with good templates to show how to record sensitive information.

so those scam popups that scare people by saying their webcam was hacked and took pictures of them while looking at porn is getting state sanction!
