I still use my Pinebook Pro as daily driver (next to a desktop pc) and I‘m actually quit happy with it. It’s not the most powefull machine but it does it‘s job.

Also I never really experimented with all the special distros. Nowadays I just run plane Debian on it and everything seems fine.

You can do su to change the user in the current shell. Afaik it just defaults to root if no user ist specified. Everytime you run su you actually do su root

That said I always thought that it stands for switch user so intereresting to know that it‘s substitute.

If I have understood correctly they actually did block „kbinBot“. They did not use a regex like „*bot“ but have looked through the protocols and manually blocked each one that looked like a bot to them.

So the people using other variations of „bot“ would have had to catch exactly another blocked term for this and not just a fairly similar one.

I’m not saying there isn’t more to it, but what they wrote is within the realm of possibility.

Also miss it. I took a couple of years to warm up to it. Then when started to I really really like it, it went downwards.

I‘ve actually stopped using Unity a few month before Canonical abandoned it because with all the Gnome applications moving into a completly different direction it didn‘t feel consistent at all anymore.
