giloronfoo, to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

From the picture, it’s just the context menu key with a new key cap.

The video made it look like this was the context menu key. This may just be a key cap change for WHQL certification of keyboards.

giloronfoo, to linux in Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I’d go for remoting in as not root as the first (and maybe only) step for better security.

From there, running the services in VMs would probably be the next step. Docker might be better, but I have gotten into that yet myself.

As for hypervisor, KVM has worked great for me.

giloronfoo, to linux in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

Welcome to the community. As you can see, there are some that are quite helpful and others that are … less so.

I agree with you that there should be a better way to do that. It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure the Chrome deb file handled all of that for you. I’ve always been confused why every company that sets up their own PPA didn’t do that.

giloronfoo, to linux in What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

I would do it by manually splitting it up into sets and writing scripts to back up each of those sets. Then you only have to figure out the split once.

I wonder if rsync has an option to do what you are asking for?

It also sounds like the kind of thing the old tape backup software would do. Maybe look into something that can pretend the drives are tapes.

giloronfoo, to linux in Are older, but Linux compatible computers capable of running the newest kernel/version of various distros?

The kernel has drivers for very old hardware. It was news last year when support was dropped for i486. That is a 25 year old CPU.

giloronfoo, to linux in THUNDERBIRD: the SUCCESS STORY of LINUX! - 6.4M in Donations

I think they’re expecting thunderbird users to use POP instead of imap, Gmail integration, OWA, or other protocol that expects the mail to stay on the server.

Leaving the mail on the server has been great in Thunderbird since the Mozilla days. I did jump to Gmail web app a long time ago though. I’m assuming Gmail support has improved in the last 15 years?
