Had a geek nostalgia moment today.
Ended up looking at the site for Damnsmalllinux.
I was always so impressed with how much actual functionality was packed into those minimalist projects, and I still think their extension system was really clever.
Their extension directory still contains a few packages I created, under an old username.
Live CD distros like this, knoppix, dragonlinux and even microscopic tomsrtbt floppy were among my first tastes of Linux.

The patch was fixed by its maintainer (an Arch user...) but #Ubuntu stopped using it. Along came Ubuntu 18.04 and after a while #linuxMint 19 based on it, carrying this regression like a xenomorph in its abdomen (sorry. Getting carried away here).
Now all I'm asking is how many years before a regression that hinders usability and has an easy patch will again be fixed for simple users, for whom hunting after patches in xorg bugzilla isn't accessible?
Xorg being xorg, although the bug is open since 2004 it hasn't been patched. However, #Ubuntu came along and thought that maybe linux should be usable, and implemented the patch that already existed. And all was well between 12.04 to 17.10. In 17.10 the patch made some problems. This coincided with Ubuntu stopping giving a damn about users and moving to GNOME "break user experience and don't look back". So instead of fixing the patch they stopped using it.
Once upon a time, a long long time ago, there was xorg.
Xorg had this bug: instead of switching keyboard layout when the key combination is released, thus allowing the layout switching combination to be used as part of other key combinations, xorg switched layouts upon key press.
This meant that, for example, it your layout switching was done with alt+shift you couldn't use alt+shift+tab to flip backwards between open windows.

Servus,
hat hier jemand Erfahrungen mit dem Lenovo Thinkpad x230 gemacht??
Wenn ja, wäre für mich interessant zu wissen:
- welche Ausstattung
- Kompatibilität mit Linux (Debian)
- Temperatur
- Verwendungszweck
Gerne Boosten, viele Meinungen helfen mehr ;)
When I get back from the upcoming trip to the UK for Open 2018, I'm thinking about doing a series of blog pieces on 'advice for windows users'. The first piece of advice would always be 'back up all your user files and install #GNU + #Linux. But assuming they're still not ready to do that, it would be interesting review what their options are for browsers, for example. Suggestions welcome.
