Everyone should choose their first distro based on what his friend/neighbor uses already. Direct support can't be beaten.

They're waiting for Debian developers backporting the patches.

If you use a computer, make regular backups.

dbus can also start a program. For example when one notification was generated and no notification daemon is running, then dbus launch one to handle the request.

Also it’s difficult to find a clear list of all the available environments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments?useskin=vector#Desktop_comparison_information

how the heck do I find out more about DE’s and which distro they are compatable with.

All DEs can be run on all mainstream distros.

appear to be the same visually.

It's just the default theme + icon packs. You can configure any DE to looks very similar as other DE, if you use the same icon pack + themes + wallpapers.

I should mention that I have zero interest in the window manager or tiler or whatever they are called. To me, they are super ugly and very confusing to understand :)

Spoiler: all DEs using a window manager, so all DEs are super ugly for you…

Try: https://github.com/marmolak/gray386linux <-- It was designed for really old hardwares.

I’ve already tried MX Linux on an old Thinkpad SL400, and didn’t see any difference from plain Debian.

Because it's the stock Debian + custom themes/skins + some crappy useless minitools. The 99% of packages come from the official Debian repository, the rest are only the rice.

If you have newer machine than a real 386:

The threads about distros are the really bad ones.

Bring your own portable computer.

Ssh listens on port 22, as soon as a connection is made the host moves the connection to another port to free up 22 for other new connections.

Makes sense

No, it's nonsense. Nothing like that happens.

They broke that at some point.

Feel free to write a bugreport.

Just use backpack or sshrc or kyrat.

Did you know that "esc, enter" is actually a workaround for "alt+enter"?

"Linux Kernel 4.14.8 (Dec 2017)" - Would this be the "very recent"?

Ask the network admin about arp tables and caches. If it's your router then upgrade firmware (or change the OS on it).

The Kali users.

i486 is still supported by the recent Linux kernel: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu, and it is a 34 years old architecture. Everything else you wrote is correct.

https://github.com/sineemore/backpack

"backpack is a small wrapper around ssh.

It transfers contents of a local file ~/.backpack and itself to remote host, sources it and continues with normal ssh session.

works best as alias ssh=backpack won't create any files on remote hosts (even temporary) tries to fallback to normal ssh when remote shell is not bash self-replication allows you to use backpack again directly from remote host, in this case backpack will keep original local file as you go deaper from host to host."
