  • I used DVB-S/S2 cards and DVB-T sticks for many years with VDR, but a few years ago I gave up and got a separate tuner box (Octagon SF8008). I was fed up with the kernel module compilation, and the DVB cards or USB boxes only lasted a few years until they died. Every time I wanted to record something, the desktop PC had to run. All the time I used the PC the cards were powered and that probably didn't help with their longevity.

  • Yes, if you already know that you can drag and drop between unrelated programs, it will work like you expected it.

    If you don't know it, you can pick it up by looking over the shoulder of your friend or co-worker, or you can read articles like this.

  • Reading about Kernel processes and executing threads makes very little sense compared to a hardware core with two threads.

    For me it's the opposite: a hardware core "having two threads" still sounds a bit strange. It can run two threads at the same time. Maybe Intel should have invented a better name for the thread-runner-thingie.

  • A .deb relies on other packages, so a modern Firefox package will not be installable on an ancient OS. With Ubuntu Pro, Ubuntu 16.04 will still get updates until 2026, so I think you would get Firefox from Ubuntu until then. But there's no chance you would get a modern Firefox for 7.10 or 8.04.

    Maybe you should ask yourself why you would like to cling to an ancient version of Linux. You don't like the new desktop or anything else that comes with the new version? Then you can install another desktop or another distribution.

  • There are some icons at the top of the page and the second from the right lets you select new/active/top:

    Edit: it doesn't remember the order to set the default, but there are options for that in the settings.
