@beehaw.orgI never thought of that before, but I agree. Also, now all I can imagine is Riker walking up behind a bicycle and just effortlessly gliding onto the seat, swinging his leg gracefully.
I have never used those tools, I usually just dd the iso to a usb. I am assuming you are on a linux distribution already. I would download a fresh iso and verify the checksum. Then use dd to write to the usb. I use this format, and of course replace the path to iso bit and /dev/sdx (your usb)with what is relevant to your situation. Just open terminal and type
sudo dd bs=4M if=path/to/your.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress
You probably already know but you can find the usb's specific /dev/sdx with sudo fdisk -l
I still use one. I like having a small device for just that purpose. It doesn't have a touch screen, which is how I prefer it. I despise touchscreens. I like to interact with my phone as little as possible, especially while driving.
Stardew Valley is $15 USD. It's pretty laid back. Easy to set down and pick back up. I like to play it when my head is all over the place and want something soothing.
You want bleeding edge but are moving to Ubuntu 20.04, which was released in 2019 with a 2025 EOL? No DE from that release's repo will be bleeding edge. You can manually install the newest releases of software you want, but that's not really a "just works" solution either. You'll run into dependency hell at some point. I'm not really sure what you're going for. But as far as a stable DE goes, and if that is the main concern as implied in the title, XFCE has been pretty darn solid for me.
Have you tried turning off the repeat keys function? https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-repeat-keys.html.en
Open /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notityd.Notifications.service in a text editor, like nano, vim, etc. For instance, in terminal type nano /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notityd.Notifications.service This will open the file org.xfce.xfce4-notityd.Notifications.service In that file, find the line Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications Change that line to read Name=org.freedesktop.NotificationsNone Save the file, in nano it's ctrl+x it will ask if you want to modify file,type y for yes. Next it will ask if you want to keep file the same name, just hit enter. Then reboot your computer.
Arch Wiki has a bunch you can try to dig through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management However if it were me I'd just reinstall the power manager if that was easy for you to manage. You can turn off the xfce-4 notifier at that point since they both won't be able to access the dbus at the same time. Look at /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.xfce.xfce4-notityd.Notifications.service Then change Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications to Name=org.freedesktop.NotificationsNone and reboot.
If it's MX and not KDE did you try this?https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=59219
Otherwise if the clock is indeed KDE I think the desktop file is here if I remember right ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc Should be able to edit it out.
