  • That’s a long list of changes, wow.

    Personally, I’m not considering Vanilla OS just yet. It does too many things in a custom way. I am however keeping an eye on the project, since they have interesting ideas and they’re making progress in the area of immutable distributions (which will be the future I figure).


  • Same for Florisboard: press ?123, then 1234.

    Side note: Florisboard also allows you to use custom keyboard layouts, which would make it possible to

    a) make the numbers keypad accessible with one click from the main layer and b) move the numbers actually to the right side (not in the middle like they’re now).

    There’s a catch though: currently, the process is quite technical. An easier way is planned, but it’s hard to say when it will arrive.


  • I second the recommendation to use NTFS. I don’t have the same use cases as OP, but in my experience it works really well. Back in the days when I was using Windows, I had a system and a data partition (i.e. personal files, pictures, videos… you get it). When I switched to Linux, I kept my data partition and just mounted it on my Linux system. I started with dual boot and didn’t have any issues. No need to manually install a NTFS driver these days.

    That’s a couple of years ago and my secondary SSD’s still that same old NTFS partition. Thought about moving to a Linux native filesystem, since I don’t use Windows anymore, but never had an actual reason to do it.
