I didn't mean to imply that this was a simple problem to solve (and I agree with
your aim for what that's worth). Simply that we do not want to make political

Hi,
I've just recently learned about the relatively new file
"/etc/os-release" and have to say that I quite like it. The previous
situation was a mess at best, so this is a great way for unifying.
systemd is really great in that regard. To my great astonishment it was
already included into Arch ab

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that this is an upstream issue, but to narrow things
down and to verify and/or falsify my experience, I'm asking here first.
Basically it is about my Bluetooth mouse (Speedlink Saphyr Bluetooth). I
paired it some time ago (half a year or something like that) and it
worked fine

There has been a fair amount of disruption to systems over a

I am surprised no one sees what can of worms this might open. There's a
lot of countries whose names are contested, and sometimes the naming
will cause emotional reactions by more than one side - take the small
