I still use my Pinebook Pro as daily driver (next to a desktop pc) and I‘m actually quit happy with it. It’s not the most powefull machine but it does it‘s job.

Also I never really experimented with all the special distros. Nowadays I just run plane Debian on it and everything seems fine.

You can do su <username> to change the user in the current shell. Afaik it just defaults to root if no user ist specified. Everytime you run su you actually do su root

That said I always thought that it stands for switch user so intereresting to know that it‘s substitute.

Also miss it. I took a couple of years to warm up to it. Then when started to I really really liked it went downwards.

I‘ve actually stopped using Unity a few month before Canonical abandoned it because with all the Gnome applications moving into a completly different direction it didn‘t feel consistent at all anymore.

In information technologies there are three main security goals: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability. And while Signal is really good with the first two it utterly fails with the last one (at least on iOS).

Still I use Signal every day and would also recommend it to everybody who just wants a good private instant messaging client. While I also like and use Matrix (and see a bright future for the protocoll) there are still far too many problems to use it stress-free and smothly in everyday life.
