GOG say the GOG Preservation Program is currently Windows-only

Yeah. I found that post after I, too, was banned.

Relevant discussion: !Linuxsucks@lemmy.world mod silently bans people from their community for disagreeing, and tries to hide the comments from being seen in the modlog.

I think you might be looking for something like OpenSnitch.

Thanks, deleted my comment. I saw a second person on the thread who had the price quoted to them, but I didn’t see context on whether or not they were getting a mobo replaced as well.

Whose entire life was in a… what?

Possibly my light/dark mode scripts. They change my Plasma theme, which is honestly most of the job, but also set the matching GTK theme, set the new theme in running Konsole sessions, do a bunch of manual sed edits on conf files for applications that don’t follow system theming, finally restarting plasmashell to clean up the occasional edge case where a tray icon is supposed to follow the theme but doesn’t.

FreshTomato still supports these devices.

It’s not for everyone, but if “collection of perl scripts” sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.

I don’t think these things are universal across software, but you can often put -f on its own, separate from other flags, or get in the habit of using the long --force flag.

Too many options to remember and look up every time

This is a good use case for shell aliases. If you can identify a few of your use cases, you can give each bundle of options its own command.

Ctrl+F’d for this.

I’m not sure if you can show/hide like that, but as a workaround you can toggle auto-hiding with a qdbus command, and set a keyboard shortcut to run that.

I think OP said

if a window is fullscreen

as opposed to simply being maximized.

Oh, I’m well aware. But the criticism I’m describing is that Joplin doesn’t write and read the notes as plain .md files on-disk as its storage backend. As I said, the lock-in component to the criticism is overblown (due to, yes, the ease of export), but people also tout the Obsidian approach to storage as allowing more flexibility to also access and edit your notes collection outside of the application, not to mention the flexibility to roll your own two-way syncing solution to other devices that don’t run Joplin, edit notes there and have changed synced back to notes in the application. I use and enjoy Joplin, and wish they would add something like that.

I brought this up because of what OP mentioned re: “view and modify” notes in something like jq. I’m sure they’d want their external changes synced back to their notes.

A surprising number of people will tell you that the reason they prefer the closed-source Obsidian to Joplin is that Joplin doesn’t use Markdown files as its backend format to store its notes, but rather a database file. (They are formatted with Markdown, though.) I think the concerns they often express around lock-in are overblown, but this may mean it’s not what OP is looking for. I agree that the Joplin app is pretty nice, though more polished and featureful on desktop.

That’s awesome, I didn’t realize that ResidualVM had merged with ScummVM.

Don’t miss this entire genre: classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games! Sam & Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle and Monkey Island are a few of the stand-outs for me, and they all run on Linux via the amazing ScummVM.

Skipping the OS backup is reasonable, but you probably want to at least save a package list. Add something like dpkg -l > ~/packages.txt to your backup script.
