I Heard All These Great Things About Bleachbit, but I'm not Seeing It

I get that "a long time," but over 30 minutes for a thumb drive is nuts.

For Whatever Reason, BleachBit Can't Sre my Portable Drives!

Everyone seems to love it, but I'm not finding it that helpful in the moment! Lol

The above being said, I'm fine with finding out I wasn't doing something correctly!

Making Reddit more Linux-Friendly

There's no Reddit Desktop app, so I wanted to set Reddit up as a PWA in either Brave or Firefox. Are there browser adjustments that can keep me from having to enter all of my login information every time?

Also, I know there are extensions and such out there for Reddit. Are there any that actually improve the experience (and won't get me banned?)

Open-Source Journal App That Timestamps Each Entry, Stores all Data On-Device, and is Linux-Friendly

When I say "each entry," I mean overtime I hit "Enter." I keep a running journal of some things that did/did not happen for weeks at a time, and I need to be able to accurately recall when entries were made. I know I can do it manually with almost anything, but I also know I can be forgetful as all hell when things get going.

If it were Android-friendly as well, that would be nice, but not a must.

Rebuilding my Knowledge

On more than one occasion my effort to find my way in this new world has introduced me to software that, although established among the Linux community for quite some time, I had never heard of. Clearly I need to consider other sources as I build a knowledge base more applicable to this landscape, and was hoping people would share there "go to spots," with me.

Key Remapping for Dummies

I'm looking for remapping software that can work for Zorin 18so I can get all of the shortcuts I use down to a single key, and since Zorin is Ubuntu-based I figured this would cast as wide as net as possible.

Regarding such software, does it only work with keyboards noted as being a "macro," "programmable," or "mechanical," keyboard, or can the right software effectively turn something as simple as a second numberpad or mini keyboard into a macro keypad?

Kodachi Linux

I was reading about the new edition yesterday and, although not perfect, it sounds amazing!

I'll admit I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet though because I'm pretty new to Linux and don't know if Kodaci is something I need to build up to, or whether not the MASSIVE repository of knowledge built into it would br just what I'd need to be able to learn to swim in those waters without drowning.

How Well do Apple Products Fare?

I'm nit really a major Apple person, but I might have the opportunity to snag the laptop above cheap enough that I'm considering it. The thing is, everyone I've met so far in my Linux journey were all PC users, so I'm not sure if it would even work at all.

Also, any suggestions for something that can improve upon Zorin 18's file manager?

Before I Reset my Password...

If I've already downloaded thr Recovery File and have my laptop set as a trusted device, I shouldn't have to worry about being locked out of previous emails after reset. Correct?

Nullvad and Zorin (18) OS Proxy Settings

I'm setting up Mullvad on Zorin (18) OS (Linux) and want to understand the correct relationship between Mullvad's tunnel and any system-level proxy settings configured in the OS network manager.

Should the system proxy be disabled entirely when Mullvad is active? Does Mullvad's kill switch interact with or override OS-level proxy settings?

Are there any known Linux-specific gotchas with this combination that I should address during initial setup rather than troubleshoot later?

Reclaiming SSD's

My computer was absolutely WRECKED by a hypervisor attack (so much so that I need a new motherboard now). The thing is, I have some expensive TB4 SSD's that could be infected, and I can't afford to chance my laptop but plugging them in to scan and clean them.

Then I wondered is it possible for me to put put a scanner/AV solution on an old phone and run it that way?

For all I know, it's a terrible idea that could never work, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
