KOReader! I maintain my library with Calibre and browse its OPDS server through KOReader.

Ignoring the whole debate about whether to include system files in your backup, rdiff-backup sounds a lot like what you want. It stores your latest backup as plain files on-disk just like rsync, checks the box for incremental backups (older versions of files are stored as diffs, which you can easily browse with rdiff-backup-fs) and isn't much different to use than rsync. That said, people will point out that you can make rsync do pretty much the same stuff using hard linking.

Nothing special to see or hear in any of the following: their earlier stuff, their later stuff, tracks 2–12 on the same album, the 10,000 word essay in the liner notes, their followup single, etc.

Chumbawamba! (Am I doing this right?)

Don't miss this entire genre: classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure games! Sam & Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle and Monkey Island are a few of the stand-outs for me, and they all run on Linux via the amazing ScummVM.

Oh no, my clock is broken.

Not effortlessly, because nearly no modern social platforms publish RSS feeds anymore. You might be able to find third-party tools or services that consume public content from these platforms and spit out an RSS feed, but these tend to come and go due to changes on the platform side that break them, either on purpose or by mistake.

This, folks, is why people who respect their readers capitalize words.

Ahhh, the Douglas Adams approach.

That man was Adam Osborne, creator of the Osborne 1

I defer to your authority in this area, as you are clearly a dad.

They do.

Hah! All good, I know exactly what that one feels like!

Nope, just saying I don't use any transparency for my panels. I don't mind it overlapping and hiding part of the window bar because the important stuff is all on the left side of the bar.

I use Plasma with a similar concept as yours, with two bars serving the same purposes.

My vertical icons-only bar goes in the lower-left, has chunkier, more glance-able icons (since pixels on the x-axis are plentiful) and this bar reserves its space from maximized windows. Think part WindowMaker/NextStep and part Unity.

Then a fully-opaque longer horizontal bar in the top-right with tray icons, a clock and a few hardware toggle widgets. Critically, like yours this toolbar stays on top of all windows (to make better use of my y-axis pixels), and my window decorations have left-aligned buttons and titles so max-height windows rarely have their titles cut off by the bar.

I understood all that from your post. I'm just saying that if the distros end up being as inflexible as you've described, you may need to look for a way to get flexibility at a different level of the "stack."

You can add and launch arbitrary non-Steam games from Steam, right? Can you use Steam to launch a script that moves around files in the background and relaunches Steam? And have a named launcher to "switch" to each user?

I don't know anything about those distros, but if there isn't a good way to do it here's a shitty one: maintain a separate OS partition/installation for each person and have the "login screen" be the bootloader menu.

Clear looks you got there.

Thanks, RSS!
