I'm comfortable in shirtsleeves at 24C (current temperature here) and I'm wearing wool and a scarf if I'm sitting at my desk at 18C. That's why they won't send me to the Moon or to Mars.

I've been on Debian 11 for a few years and I'm installing 13 on another disk (dual booting until it's ready for my job.) I did not use the Firefox coming with 11 and I won't use the ESR version in 13. I downloaded the de

That would be incredibly cool. Please post a Show HN of your project. I'm afraid that I'll need to do something like that for my next laptop.

That might be one of the reasons. Get rid of competition by legal means. In my case I keep a copy of K9 Mail 5.6 with the original UI (the reason I choose K9) and I sideload it to every device of mine. I'm afraid that I'll have to

Samsung DEX had a Linux desktop package in 2018. It was a lxd container based on Ubuntu 16.04. They developed it in collaboration with Canonical. Unfortunately they deprecated it shortly after, maybe already in 2018. The next Android update
