Gnome Shell 40 inconsistency

Gnome Shell has an hot corner, in the upper left side of the screen. It used to be consistent in terms of usability as you had the dock right nearly the hot corner.

Now the dock moved in the bottom of the screen. How's useful having an upper hot corner of you have to go to the bottom to choose an icon from the dock? Would a left bottom hot corner be more useful from a usability way?


I know there are extension for everything, from dash to dock to the one that kicks your dog, but I'm just talking about the design choice of default shell.

I have successfully made a bootable USB (Ubuntu), however when powering off my computer & then turning back on again, I have to start from scratch (lose all my files/settings). Any way to save this like a normal computer?

The noscript provides pretty much everything you need to know about my issue ... When I boot up coming from powering off, it's like running Linux for the first time (no files, applications, settings from my previous session).

​

Thanks,

Mike

What is best Linux Backup Server ?

Hello ,

​

I have three machines with three different IP addresses they have MYSQL data and I want to make a backup server for all three machines I mean backup the data on those three machines in one machine to be my backup server and of course I will give this server an IP address that I can reach using those three machines.

​

Honestly I don't know where to begin ? and which one to use ? I'm using Debian


1- bacula-server
2- borgbackup
3 - deja-dup
4 - rsync


I have to choose one of those and my question would it be easy to restore the data on a new machine ?


Best Regards

Linux timeline website

Hi guys,

I am trying to find something. Couple of years back (maybe around 15... ufff), there was a site that have published the Linux timeline - distorts, main events, etc. In a file, that you print, then hang on your admin room wall and take a photo with it. Then they publish it and that’s it.
They published our photo - 3 young admins, proud that they can install (and then use) Slack, Gentoo & OpenBSD... one of the three is no longer on this earth and I want to find this photo and show it to his kids - in his most natural environment ...
So anyone remember this. It was a long print of A4s that you put together snake-like.

Thank you all!

Since today, linux is the first OS to fly on a different planet.

I just learned that Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter, runs linux, making that the first OS to fly on another planet.

That's one for the history books alright. Makes one feel proud to use it. Also, it shows the sheer versatility and reliability of the OS.

Mr Torvalds, you created something very special.
