A 50-something French dude that’s old enough to think blogs are still cool, if not cooler than ever. I also like to write and to sketch.

I hope you won’t mind my beginner question: would that have any advantage for a single home user like myself? I mean would it help to do backup easier (I backup my home folder already) and accelerate a restore in case I have to reinstall Linux? Or is it just a seemingly great tool for sysadmins, for some specific use cases?
Debian (desktop) and Mint (laptop), because I don’t need to use the latest version of every app I use and because it works so well.
If I had to chose a single one, it would be Debian but I don’t have to chose ;)
Thx a lot :)
Thx x 4 :)

(I would love to find a Bill Watterson one, if anyone knows. I own all his Calvin & Hobbes albums, it would just be for the pure joy of regularly see one popup on my screen :))

Well, Debian has a 32-bit ISO, and since Ubuntu is based on Debian you may consider giving it a try?
My bank offers both an app and a website which is nice, but the app is mandatory for doing any kind of operation involving money (which is not that uncommon when logged-in in your bank accounts ;) even when connecting through their website, as the app is used for some ID-ing process.
Then, there are a few not-mandatory but such-an-effing-pain-to-not-use apps, say to ID oneself with some (public) services.
I use a dumbed down iPhone (like, really: no social, no games, no whatever not even email is configured on it) just so I can access those few apps.
Oh, thx a lot for the tip. I was not aware of that at all.
I just rechecked and I can now see those two posts too, without subscribing myself: probably someone else from here had subscribed first ;)
Just had a look, there is no post at all for the moment?
Edit a bit later: there are a few posts already, see @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works answer just below my comment.
(and I subbed ;))
Maybe you should post something(s) right now and not wait until January if you want people to sub or, like you mentioned, to start suggesting ideas.
Imho, the perspective of facing an empty community with zero discussion going on until next January will not encourage participation.
I refrain from participating in and even from looking at any community that generates anxiety and/or anger, or that encourage or don’t oppose what I consider destructive or hostile behaviors. I consider time too precious to waste mine with the kind of persons who enjoy those things.
It is not related to any specific place, though. It’s mostly a question of the persons participating and of the moderators.
Thx for the clarification.
I’m one of those persons that (tries to) shut their computer off every time they’re not using it — waste less energy, you know, stuff like that ;)
