There's a difference between stability and reliability. Stable means that functionality is the same over a period of time, no major changes to how it works. Reliable means that it doesn't crash all the time. If something crashes the same way for the same reason, it's stable but not reliable. If something changes a lot but doesn't crash, it's reliable but not stable.
In practice what it comes down to is a choice if you want outdated but known bugs or new surprise bugs.
thread as in threaded posts as opposed to other parts of the fediverse with another layout. it's not about the instance Threads, but the type of fediverse service allowing a lemmy/kbin type of conversation.
You are more than welcome to remove the need for any passwords at all on the linux systems you admin. Good thing about free software is that you decide how you want it, hack up or put up.
The difference, and the best part of the fediverse imho, is that if you're not happy with someone elses rules you can become your own admin and set your own rules. The more we centralize power the further we go against that idea.
On my laptop with nvidia (msi, debian 12), if I unplug the charger the screen orientation goes from landscape to portrait, everything is tilted 90 degrees. I hate this laptop, so I rarely use it.
Are you using Caja file manager? If there's no setting, it could be that the authors of that file manager just wanted it that way. You can try other file managers like thunar and see if they are different?
If you ever do write with pen and paper, it takes little effort to focus on just one improvement. A first step could be to try to get a consistent height of letters. When I'm in a hurry my "o" and "i" become way smaller than, say, "e". Just a quick look when you're done writing and a reflection like "next time I'll try to make this letter as tall as that letter when I write". When all lower case letter are as tall, focus on something else, like ascender height or baseline. Maybe your "l" tilts more than your "t", then that's a good thing to fix. One small step at a time.
Back in the day, find required that you added "-print" to actually print out the results in the terminal. That was bad UX, and now -print is the default. But.. following some syntax like supplying path as first argument for find is necessary to not create ambiguity in some cases, and enforcing it makes it more readable imho.
Which features are you looking for beyond what can be done on Debian?
