dtrx is the way to do it. It's short for "do the right extraction", and it just works.

Also, all you have to remember for tar is "-xtract -zee -vucking -files" (extract the fucking files, but first letters only)

It's a config flag in /etc/fstab

The SSD memory cell failure mode is to retain the last written contents, so I actually don't think I agree. In the SMART diagnostics, it shows how many of these bad cells are present, which is a reasonable indicator of impending failure from age

Sometimes it's okay to use something you're familiar with and not have to learn (Debian). Fair enough on the snaps though; need to look into them before I form an opinion.

Can someone explain what this is/does?

Why do you want a successor?

How do the matrix modules work?

F-droid has a few decent ones, but it seems it varies by country quite a bit?

You're probably right, ashamed I didn't notice though
