Yeah. The idea of random stuff nesting into my pc where I will never find it again is also a big pain. That said using distroboy would make it much cleaner I guess.
Here it states that the hoster used is hetzner https://lemm.ee/post/45660045. That being said Hetzner is a german company, so I would expect it to be in the eu.
It seems that you are not aware in what format you installed your apps.
Before you install an app, be aware what format it is, that you are installing. Is it a debian package installed via the apt cli or via some store gui? Is it a snap package? Is it an appimage? Is it a flatpak?
All of these are different and can have different issues (advantages/disadvantages). Often the same app is available in multiple formats.
A have never used mint and only used debian as a Workstation. If there is a permissions issue with an application, my first thought is how you installed you application?
When you say, you cant easily get tonthe content of a drive, what Desktop Environment do you us3 and what file explorer?
I dont realy understand what you mean by tabbed controls. If you mean keyboard navigation, that is directly ahead on the roadmap.
Take a look at the macros the iced::widget module provides. This is pretty much a declarative ui definition.
In the last version update a new styling system was introduced. It is way simpler then the old approach. I am sure you can create a custom theme that looks pretty much like win10/11.
Even if you do not use or like this approach, learning tmux is quite easy and quick and super useful. Just that you executed commands do not end when your ssh session crashes, that you can collaborate. Just attach multiple ssh sessions to one tmux session and everything, even the input, will be sync. In advance you get windows and split screen in any terminal.
You might be able to prepare a bag accept that does the switch and run that inside a tmux session.
The connection would get lost, but don't the tmux session did not care the script would finish.
Although that would require to have the exact working commands. If anything goes wrong you would have to plug directly into the server.
All I ever used was nmcli and I think it should work for this purpose. It was mostly pre installed. Rasbien as well as Debian had it or installed (the most used distros by me).
