   Current main home machine runs Debian 13 + Mate with X not Wayland. I   
   must try more options including Waypipe. One day there won't be any X so   
   it would be nice to know how to move from there. Nice to know now not   
   when an update removes X ;-)   
      
   Oh sorry it's not Windows.  Did my last Win10 upgrades on the old   
   machine this Debian box has replaced and also on a W10 VM I have on here   
   for 2 mapping programs that are Windows only. Oh how I was delighted to   
   see a list of updates and also OneDrive installed on to the W10   
   instances without asking or appearing in the list of things to be   
   installed. Fucking Windows, die, die, die!
