I personally _have_ stuck with cinnamon (and toyed with mate, too, but imho GTK3 itself has enough nice things to justify using it.) So far cinnamon has mostly been able to roll back the worst of the changes, and I haven't had many com

The OOM killer can be disabled completely on a system, or a process can be excluded from it by setting an OOM flag under `/proc/<pid>` It's not generally considered good practice in production, but I think that's l

Unfortunately (at least in the US) these types of services tend to be a patchwork of different agencies at different levels of government... you'll potentially see local, regional, state, and federal all for one person. If you're

If you poke around in the support articles they mention the cause of this: they also deleted all idle accounts without notice and depending on when you got hit by that, might not even be able to recover it. So they're trying to bill yo
