Not postmarketOS, but a different way to make grouper usable: "

There's a gui tool that I have successfully used in Mint to make that panel

There's probably a way to install it on other Debian-bases distros, if
that's what you happen to be using.
I seem to remember that you primarily use Slackware, but not sure which
distro you're using in this case.

The tricky part, if I remember correctly, is that those OSM maps &

using that software to interface with the devices, & replaced it with a
very different program. Probably still doable, but we have to figure out
how to make it

I have a small collection of Garmin GPS devices that I really like to use.
I've bought all of them used over the years, mostly at thrift stores for

For KDE Plasma 5, the shortcut for resizing windows is Alt key while

Protonmail is a great service, as long as you keep in mind that it's more
like an encrypted instant messaging service than email. The reason I say
that is because, as I understand it, Protonmail is only encrypted if both
parties communicating, are using Protonmail. If you use Protonmail to

I have, years ago. I wasn't impressed. There's a desktop version of
Signal Private Messenger that does all those things very well. Lots of
people use Signal, so that also helps. You can set Signal up on Android
using a voip phone #, or a regular cell #. Then use the desktop version,
as well.
Thanks very much, Michael!

Mint is discontinuing their KDE Plasma release. It's not that they will
still use KDE apps without Plasma. They no longer produce a distro that
includes any aspect of the KDE software project.Here is Mint's blog

A problem that can come up with the free map updates for life, is running
out of room to install those updates. I'm not sure if adding an SD card

not. Maybe someone here knows that. Also, I ran out of space for my saved
