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!
