Preparing a laptop to give to a friend to introduce them to Linux. They want to run a custom software package they’re used to at work, but they only know Linux as the OS running cryptic commands from Windows PuTTY.
My hope is that they will enjoy using Linux. I’ve been daily driving Linux for 20 years, so I forgot what new users like. What distro should I pick? For compatibility with their work program it must be Debian-based.

Can anyone suggest a way to unlock my #Linux PC with my @GrapheneOS phone?
I'm wondering whether it's possible to use an SSH command in Termux, attached to a widget or shortcut of some kind. I've had a quick look around, but haven't found anything that works.

Mit dem Ende des Supports von Windows 10 im Oktober 2026 werden Millionen Rechner nutzlos. Damit möchte sich eine Gruppe von Aktivist*innen nicht abfinden.
‚Die Linux-Party im Nordosten von Frankfurt am Main, in der Villa Orange, startet an einem Sonntag um 9:30 Uhr. Zusammen mit fünf anderen Teilnehmern sitze ich in einem Konferenzraum und bin gespannt. Der Plan: Ich möchte meinen Laptop von Windows auf Linux umstellen.
Es ist eine von vielen Linux-Partys, die seit knapp einem Jahr in ganz Deutschland auf Initiative von End of 10 regelmäßig veranstaltet werden. In der weltweit agierenden Initiative sind viele Menschen aus dem IT-Umfeld organisiert, die in ihrer Freizeit anderen Menschen unentgeltlich dabei helfen, sich für immer von Windows zu verabschieden….‘

‚"Schon beim Physikstudium habe ich freie Software benutzt. Das hatte große Vorteile für mich und ich habe gesehen, dass sich Probleme so sehr sinnvoll lösen lassen."
Seit 1996 läuft auf seinem Computer Debian, ein Grundsystem für Computer, vergleichbar mit Windows oder macOS. Seit 1998 arbeitet er an der Software mit. Dabei müssen sich tausende Entwickler auf der ganzen Welt selbst organisieren.
"Wir haben ein technisches Regelwerk. Darin steht, wie ein Softwarepaket aussehen muss. Und wir diskutieren per Mail und Chat."….‘

THE TAGGING MODEL
Many desktop environments organize windows using rigid workspaces:
Workspace 1A window belongs to a single workspace.
Workspace 2
Workspace 3
dwm uses a different model, treating workspaces as bitmask labels (tags).
This allows a single window instance to hold multiple tags simultaneously,
acting as a persistent visual anchor across different contexts:
Firefox -> Tag 1 (Web Browsing)When you view Tag 1, you see your browser and the log monitor. When you
st (nvi/dev) -> Tag 2 (Code/Scripts)
st (Monitor/Logs) -> Tag 1 + Tag 2 (Persistent)
switch to Tag 2, the browser disappears, but the exact same log window
remains on screen, now sharing space with your text editor.
The application is never duplicated or restarted in memory.
The UI remains minimal while enabling workflows that are difficult to
express using traditional workspace-oriented desktops.
Two decades later, this tagging model remains one of the most
distinctive features of dwm.
Step 1: Open terminal
Step 2: Type `alias nano='vim -c "smile"'`
Step 3: Enjoy this whenever someone type `nano`!

🍵 
[For #FreeBSD (on that same box), I found a shell script that uses sysctl to get the ACPI name for the battery, and runs acpi_call from ports to set the thresholds, which survives a reboot.
On #OpenBSD, I believe you set the thresholds directly through sysctl.
On #Linux, you set it with something like echo 80 > /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_stop_threshold
