Pretty easy, and it's saved my bacon a handful of times. Most recently I restored from command line because I borked my display driver (legacy Nvidia user).

Aside from that instance, everything else was done through the GUI.

One word: Timeshift

Try the AutoFill keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-L (or Cmd-Shift-L on Mac). Works well enough for me.

Ooh, I just did this! Mid 2010 white MacBook, Core 2 Duo P8600, 2GB, spinning rust HDD.

*Strongly recommend switching to SSD. I also added an 8GB stick (so 9GB total, hah) but my hunch is that even the SSD alone would have made this machine much more enjoyable.

I ultimately decided on MX Linux, although with systemd as init so that logind could handle lid and power button events. The default power manager (XFCE?) would result in a black screen upon resuming otherwise. MX Linux also worked the best for me in terms of optimizing for battery life.

PeppermintOS was my second place but also had the black-screen on resume.

I also tried various flavors of Mint but felt that Peppermint and MX were ever-so-slightly leaner in terms of features I actually use and battery life.

Avoid Void Linux. On my system the trackpad only worked in one direction.

I was not able to get the nVidia card to work with proprietary drivers. It's so old that it requires legacy drivers (340) and I just ran out of patience. Nouveau or bust.

I am currently using it for casual web browsing and YouTube. It handles YouTube pretty well although I'm still searching for a native frontend that allows me to login to my YouTube account so I get all my subscriptions and stuff.

Devil’s advocate: if a delayed message is put far up the conversation history, it may not be seen when it finally goes through? Although notifications could mitigate that to some extent.

It's clear that Elon's driving this into the ground. Let's stop with the coverage and move on.

You know what? As long as the second port isn't gimped in any way (can do video out + all the typical USB things), then I might forgive them for taking away the headphone jack.

I have nothing constructive to add except CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!

Loved seeing Thomas the Tank Engine lose his mind.

I got frustrated by buggy behavior from Android in general. Even with Google software (Android Auto), it wasn’t uncommon for functionality to break after updates.

I’ll take consistency over more (but buggier) features. Quality over quantity.

Oh, and the cinematic mode was a game changer for this Vidiot.

More props for you and the other admins as you ride the waves. It’s for a great cause.
