tl:dw?

Also, Win10 IoT LTSC has guaranteed support into 2032.

However, Linux kernel 6.14 is yet another short-lived branch that will be supported for a couple of months, which means that it will probably reach end of life sometime in May 2025. If you’re looking for long-term support, you should use either Linux kernel 6.12 LTS or Linux kernel 6.6 LTS, both of which are supported until December 2026.

It’s ZDNet, so, probably. CNET and others have, so why not the once-popular shell of itself, ZDNet, too?

Thx again for the reply. Adding PPA’s is pointed to as a no-no for Debian stable, otherwise I would add it in a heartbeat.

I may have described my situation poorly to explain the MX relationship with Debian 12. The base is Debian 12 Bookworm:

Distro: MX-23.5_ahs_x64 Libretto May 19  2024 base: Debian GNU/Linux 12
    (bookworm)

MX is currently on Debian 12 Bookworm, but I can select backports or testing from the package manager:

Thanks. I tried this with Meson and Ninja, and it kept requiring more and more build and make tools that reported broken dependencies, so I got worried I’d brick something else.

I downloaded the nightly from the mailing list and tried to build but… I’m out of my wheelhouse.

Thx for the reply!

My AHS version includes the 6.13.7-2 kernel, but the testing repo (MX anyway) doesn’t show a newer version of Mesa.

Oh! I guess my interest only went as far as finding an alternative. I didn’t realize they still add from upstream.

Thx for enlightening me.

Who is still using Audacity anymore? Tenacity is where it’s at.

“Ahckck-knowledgt!”

I’d use the find command piped to mv and play with some empty test folders first. I’m not familiar with Nemo, though I’ve used it for a short while. I’ve never tried the bulk renaming features if they exist.

Depending in how much variation you have in the preceding underscores, REGEX may be useful, but if its just a lot of single underscores you can easily trim them with a single version of the script.

Edit: corrected second command typo. I think there’s a rename command I haven’t used in ages that may have args to help here too, but I’m away from the PC

If you dare, you can automated it with some simple scripting. If I had more than 20 or 30, I’d probably go that route.

Yeah, that sounds like a better long-term solution for you. Once you change your workflow, you shouldn’t have to do it again anyway!

Not a fix, but a workaround I use when symbols and punctuation are treated this way: I use lowercase letters to precede folder names to get the sort I want.

aFolder1
bFolder2

Not elegant, but it works in your case. You could also try other file managers, like Thunar to see if they manage sorting differently

Worst timeline? Could be…

Man, Google really does suck now. It feels nearly impossible to get something like a how-to deep in the Debian FAQs to come up, as it mostly surfaces this auto-generated SEO crap

By design. The longer you’re Googling, the more ads they can sell.

…Ben Gomes – a long-tenured googler who helped define the company during its best years – lost a fight with Prabhakar Raghavan, a computer scientist turned manager whose tactic for increasing the number of search queries (and thus the number of ads the company could show to searchers) was to decrease the quality of search. That way, searchers would have to spend more time on Google before they found what they were looking for.

Why is green bad and red good? Seems like the color choices are as odd as the opinions in the list.
