@j2mcgreg I am probably being thick (and also not a user of OneDrive AFAIK) but what has your @gmail.com (ie Google) account to do with MS?

(Mods... if this is deemed to be more appropriate for Chat or somewhere else, please move.) Here are my top ten, in the order of importance and also mostly in the order I install them: 1. zsh (to replace bash; all local initialisations after boot are done by a set of zsh scripts that are run when th...

Another possibility for the "curious or impatient" :exclamation: is to download Stevo 's .debs above, install the right .deb (I did so for MX23) and delete the following lines (39-45 in the MX23 version) in /usr/share/bleachbit/bleachbit.py: if ( bleachbit.Unix.is_display_protocol_wayland_...

The keyboard is behaving the same in all OS's installed on my system i-e Debian 12. Linux MX, Manjaro, and Windows. This looks like a hardware problem, not a software thing.

Type the six characters r e i s u b in that order, leaving a sec or two between individual keypresses. If you're lucky, the system will shutdown in a somewhat orderly ma...

If it is compatible with MX I think all users without a file like this ought to receive it automatically in an update: I agree with Eadwine Rose 's take on that. ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc Additionally, whatever a system update puts onto my system, I strongly object to putting stuff willy-nilly into m...
