Man, it sure is confusing that apparently some software calls the super key meta. Historically that's alt and a lot of software calls alt meta instead. My brain was bending over backwards reading this article, confused as to why alt and meta were being used simultaneously as though separate until I figured it out.

EDIT: lol, I just noticed apparently the KDE key remapper used meta in place of alt so we've got both uses of meta in the same article and the author went with the keyd definition...

    As others have said I wouldn't recommend testing as it doesn't get security updates, however I personally run sid (unstable) and have for a long time now. At least since 2020 if I recall, it does occasionally break, albeit anecdotally less than my friends arch system, can't comment on if that's the distro or just our individual setups. The main reason I run it is because I like debian, I'm very familiar with apt, with its initramfs tools, with all of the debianisms but I wanted something rolling. I tried arch but it just wasn't as comfy for me personally. That being said it is a bit like hard mode, there is no arch wiki, if you don't do heavy customization that might be ok, sometimes I've wanted to tweak my initramfs and while I know the debian generator better than arch, there's far less easily accessible documentation on it. In general it's been such a good experience that I basically stopped distro hopping, it's been my home now for a long time but I know I'm in the minority with that so take it as you will.

    As a fun aside, if you write some custom assembly into a windows program to issue syscall instructions directly you can issue Linux syscalls from inside windows binaries running in wine.

    At least personally, I don't find this all that surprising. Windows privacy took a crash with windows 10 and given that I don't trust it, I'm surprised people committing cyber crimes do.

    Fair enough, I think in the real world parenting is the best solution. I just don't see an advantage to children being on social media...but I personally think social media is mostly a cesspool and barely use it myself. I just can't approve of something being used as an excuse to push age verification.

    Virt manager does but only during creation. You have to check the option for "customize VM before creation" or whatever that option is on the last screen. Then there's a firmware drop down where you can select OVMF
