        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

    +title: "I remember why I stopped using Geany text editor: comment toggling not as expected"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Since [Geany 2.0 has recently been released](https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/) I decided to switch back to it from Kate. I used to like Geany but it had some problems I couldn’t quite remember.\n
      \n
      So I quickly remembered the problem. I can’t figure out how to configure it to properly comment and comment blocks of code. Say you have the following in a file of type `shell script`:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
      \n
      But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
      \n
      There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
      \n
      Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
      \n
      Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
      \n
      I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
      \n
      I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

    +title: "I remember why I stopped using Geany text editor: comment toggling not as expected"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Since [Geany 2.0 has recently been released](https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/) I decided to switch back to it from Kate. I used to like Geany but it had some problems I couldn’t quite remember.\n
      \n
      So I quickly remembered the problem. I can’t figure out how to configure it to properly comment and comment blocks of code. Say you have the following in a file of type `shell script`:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
      \n
      But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
      \n
      There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
      \n
      Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
      \n
      Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
      \n
      I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
      \n
      I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

    +title: "I remember why I stopped using Geany text editor: comment toggling not as expected"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Since [Geany 2.0 has recently been released](https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/) I decided to switch back to it from Kate. I used to like Geany but it had some problems I couldn’t quite remember.\n
      \n
      So I quickly remembered the problem. I can’t figure out how to configure it to properly comment and comment blocks of code. Say you have the following in a file of type `shell script`:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
      \n
      But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
      \n
      There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
      \n
      Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
      \n
      Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
      \n
      I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
      \n
      I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

    +title: "I remember why I stopped using Geany text editor: comment toggling not as expected"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Since [Geany 2.0 has recently been released](https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/) I decided to switch back to it from Kate. I used to like Geany but it had some problems I couldn’t quite remember.\n
      \n
      So I quickly remembered the problem. I can’t figure out how to configure it to properly comment and comment blocks of code. Say you have the following in a file of type `shell script`:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
      \n
      But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
      \n
      There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
      \n
      Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
      \n
      Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
      \n
      I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
      \n
      I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

    +title: "I remember why I stopped using Geany text editor: comment toggling not as expected"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Since [Geany 2.0 has recently been released](https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/) I decided to switch back to it from Kate. I used to like Geany but it had some problems I couldn’t quite remember.\n
      \n
      So I quickly remembered the problem. I can’t figure out how to configure it to properly comment and comment blocks of code. Say you have the following in a file of type `shell script`:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="color:#62a35c;">echo </span><span style="color:#323232;">$variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      I want to be able to select the above lines and use a keybinding to comment them out, so the result would be:\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
      \n
      But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
      \n
      There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
      \n
      Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
      \n
      Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
      \n
      I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
      \n
      I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n
        - No misinformation\n
        - No NSFW content\n
        - No hate speech, bigotry, etc\n

      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">## a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Comment Lines` works as anticipated.\n
      \n
      But if I decide I want the lines back, how do that with the same keybinding? Using `Comment Lines` again adds a second level of comments, which is what I would expect (but not what I want):\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">### a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">##echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      `Edit` &gt; `Format` &gt; `Toggle Line Commentation` works and the file returns to the original state. But if you reselect the original lines and run it again, you get\n
      \n
      ```\n
      \n
      <span style="color:#323232;">\t a comment\n
      </span><span style="color:#323232;">\t</span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#echo $variable\n
      </span>\n
      ```\n
      \n
      Which would obviously lead to unpredictable results.\n
      \n
      There doesn’t seem to be a way for Geany to look at the block of text and decide whether it should be *commented* or *uncommented* and act accordingly.\n
      \n
      Kate editor has this functionality in `Selection` &gt; `Toggle Comment` as do other editors I’ve encountered. If there is a mix of commented and uncommented text, it will *never* remove comments. It only removes comments when the entire block has commenting, and then it removes only 1 level of comments. Perfect. Of course if you really want to force the matter, there are the more aggressive `Comment` and `Uncomment`.\n
      \n
      Using the Geany `Toggle Line Commentation` leads to strange results, especially if you are starting with multiple levels of comments. Is there a way to duplicate the standard comment toggle in Geany? I tried to train myself to use `Comment Line(s)` and `Uncomment Lines(s)` instead of a single command but I just made a lot of mistakes where I didn’t realize there were multiple levels of comments or whatever and things became uncommented that shouldn’t have and it created a giant mess.\n
      \n
      I’m not a professional IT person, just someone who enjoys text files in their spare time. I do a lot of commenting and uncommenting trying to find out how things work. I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do. There must be a way to do it right?\n
      \n
      I recall digging around a bunch in the Geany repo/docs and it ended up that some problem I was having was a limitation of the Scintilla lexer and there wasn’t much Geany could do about it. But I am not sure if it was this issue or something else.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n
        - No misinformation\n

    +url: null
    +body: """
      I got an old Windows 7 laptop that was going to be thrown out and decided to put Linux on it (see previous thread [here](https://hexbear.net/post/282183)). Most people suggested I go with the latest stable version of Debian, so that’s what I installed. I’ve mostly used Windows, but I do have some experience with Ubuntu.\n
      \n
      The installation went smoothly, but I’ve had a few problems getting it set up to my liking:\n
      \n
      1. I can’t figure out how to setup flatpak. Everything seems to be working fine until I enter the last line in the terminal:\n
      \n
      > flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub [dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo](https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo)\n
      \n
      I hit enter and nothing happens. No error message or anything. I restarted the computer but flatpak doesn’t work, either through the software center or the flatpak website. I found a few forum posts with the same problem, but no solutions.\n
      \n
      2. I somehow set it up so that my username is not the super user, so I have to type a password in the terminal every time I want to use sudo. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?\n
      3. I somehow set up the hard drive partitions so that the OS is on an encrypted partition, so I have to put in a password for the BIOS to boot up. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?\n
      4. I’m used to a desktop interface with a toolbar/start menu that I can pin frequently-used programs to, but with Debian it seems like I need to click “Activities” to do anything. Is there a way to set up the interface so it’s more like Windows in that regard?\n
      5. If I need to do a clean install, I’m thinking of switching to Ubuntu, since I’m more familiar with the interface. Is there any reason why I should stick with Debian? I’ve heard some people trashing Ubuntu but I’m not sure why. Is Debian better for older hardware?\n
      \n
      Edit: Thanks for all the knowledgeable replies. I did a fresh install of Debian 12 (64 bit) with KDE and it seems to have resolved all my problems. Although it’s a little slow and buggy, I’ve had to reboot it twice. I’ll try a lightweight DE if that continues.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

    +url: null
    +body: """
      I got an old Windows 7 laptop that was going to be thrown out and decided to put Linux on it (see previous thread [here](https://hexbear.net/post/282183)). Most people suggested I go with the latest stable version of Debian, so that’s what I installed. I’ve mostly used Windows, but I do have some experience with Ubuntu.\n
      \n
      The installation went smoothly, but I’ve had a few problems getting it set up to my liking:\n
      \n
      1. I can’t figure out how to setup flatpak. Everything seems to be working fine until I enter the last line in the terminal:\n
      \n
      > flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub [dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo](https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo)\n
      \n
      I hit enter and nothing happens. No error message or anything. I restarted the computer but flatpak doesn’t work, either through the software center or the flatpak website. I found a few forum posts with the same problem, but no solutions.\n
      \n
      2. I somehow set it up so that my username is not the super user, so I have to type a password in the terminal every time I want to use sudo. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?\n
      3. I somehow set up the hard drive partitions so that the OS is on an encrypted partition, so I have to put in a password for the BIOS to boot up. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?\n
      4. I’m used to a desktop interface with a toolbar/start menu that I can pin frequently-used programs to, but with Debian it seems like I need to click “Activities” to do anything. Is there a way to set up the interface so it’s more like Windows in that regard?\n
      5. If I need to do a clean install, I’m thinking of switching to Ubuntu, since I’m more familiar with the interface. Is there any reason why I should stick with Debian? I’ve heard some people trashing Ubuntu but I’m not sure why. Is Debian better for older hardware?\n
      \n
      Edit: Thanks for all the knowledgeable replies. I did a fresh install of Debian 12 (64 bit) with KDE and it seems to have resolved all my problems. Although it’s a little slow and buggy, I’ve had to reboot it twice. I’ll try a lightweight DE if that continues.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

    +title: "Newbie with questions about Debian"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I got an old Windows 7 laptop that was going to be thrown out and decided to put Linux on it (see previous thread [here](https://hexbear.net/post/282183)). Most people suggested I go with the latest stable version of Debian, so that’s what I installed. I’ve mostly used Windows, but I do have some experience with Ubuntu.\n
      \n
      The installation went smoothly, but I’ve had a few problems getting it set up to my liking:\n
      \n
      1. I can’t figure out how to setup flatpak. Everything seems to be working fine until I enter the last line in the terminal:\n
      \n
      > flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub [dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo](https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo)\n
      \n
      I hit enter and nothing happens. No error message or anything. I restarted the computer but flatpak doesn’t work, either through the software center or the flatpak website. I found a few forum posts with the same problem, but no solutions.\n
      \n
      2. I somehow set it up so that my username is not the super user, so I have to type a password in the terminal every time I want to use sudo. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?\n
      3. I somehow set up the hard drive partitions so that the OS is on an encrypted partition, so I have to put in a password for the BIOS to boot up. Is there a way to fix this without a clean install?\n
      4. I’m used to a desktop interface with a toolbar/start menu that I can pin frequently-used programs to, but with Debian it seems like I need to click “Activities” to do anything. Is there a way to set up the interface so it’s more like Windows in that regard?\n
      5. If I need to do a clean install, I’m thinking of switching to Ubuntu, since I’m more familiar with the interface. Is there any reason why I should stick with Debian? I’ve heard some people trashing Ubuntu but I’m not sure why. Is Debian better for older hardware?\n
      \n
      Edit: Thanks for all the knowledgeable replies. I did a fresh install of Debian 12 (64 bit) with KDE and it seems to have resolved all my problems. Although it’s a little slow and buggy, I’ve had to reboot it twice. I’ll try a lightweight DE if that continues.
