the choice is yours, ring doorbell or privacy

run these two commands:

sudo apt install mlocate

sudo updatedb

I feel like we’ve been having the same conversation for 20 years. Meanwhile the linux family of operating systems is now the most widely deployed in the world.

Not sure what your goal is but to make it so nothing can be exexuted in there you can put /home on its own filesystem and mount it with the “noexec” option.

i love mpd and will check this out

A while ago I did this by making a custom wallpaper with a box on it and set the capture region to the box.

If you ran this as a non-root user then you didn’t move any system files you just made some copies. Delete the new copies and you should be fine.

Thats the concise help text to keep it short and easy to read.

The first line in the GNU Bash manual section on loop constructs says “Note that wherever a ‘;’ appears in the description of a command’s syntax, it may be replaced with one or more newlines.”

Serious question, why use a semicolon to put do and then on the end of the previous line?

Especially when do/done are the open and close control directives for a block.

Don’t you think bash looks much cleaner when you use it how it was designed?

MX Enlightenment Respin has a unique and excellent look. Add some Propaganda Wallpaper Tiles to further enhance the vibe https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/PropagandaTiles

I started using linux Slackware in 1996. First time I was paid to install linux on a server in 1998. It was Red Hat 5.2 way before they switch to Enterprise Linux.

Been my desktop daily driver since 1999.

Yes, I’m old.

Yes it has a web ui to connect to wifi. For cable you just plug it in.

Its simple and I can easily put a laptop or phone or whatever behind the microrouter and have confidence its only using the vpn.

When I travel I take a second microrouter with me to connect to the hotel wifi. All my devices are set to use the microrouter wifi so they never touch the hotel network, only the vpn. Easy, private, and avoids any filtering the hotek is doing.

If your concern is ensuring a killswitch type vpn setup, I do that but in a different and simple way.

I have a GLinet microrouter configured to join the vpn and active killswitch mode. This is 2 clicks in the menu. I connect it to my network via its wan port.

Everything I want behind the VPN gets connected to the microrouter lan port and job done.

I’ve been using linux for over 25 years and I don’t understand this post. One of the strengths of linux is that you don’t need a gui to do sysadmin.

Pro Tip: don’t make sweeping generalizations like “KDE Breaks Bluetooth” and then claim its happening while including little to no detail.

I’ve been running KDE for over a decade without any such problems. KDE absolutely does not break bluetooth or removable devices.

Now perhaps the way you have set up and configured KDE isn’t working right and causing problems with bluetooth and removable devices. I’d believe that but hard to know what hapoened without any details.
