I don’t care about Plasma, I want Cosmic

How do I do that?

I’m relatively new to linux but I have some experience with Java and Python

Will Debian users be able to use Cosmic’s tiling manager?

Some quotes from Steve Jobs about Microsoft:

• The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products. --Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
• I am saddened, not by Microsoft’s success — I have no problem with their success. They’ve earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products. --Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
• I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that was the case, Microsoft would have great products.

Isn’t GrapheneOS a mobile OS? How would it work on a pc?

Looks good but I’m using X11

Yup

Trying it out right now

Update: I think that Onboard is good enough to replace Gnome’s OSK.

Ext4

Using \040 instead of single or double quotes resolved my issue.

Now Debian automounts the hdd.

But you have a space in there. I don’t know how spaces are handled in fstab. You’ll either need to quote it or at least escape the space

Instead of using spaces or quotes (single or double), I used \040 (as @shortdorkyasian) said and that made all the difference:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

There were no asterisks in the fstab file, I just placed them here to emphasize the name of the hdd.

Btw I got Debian to automount the hdd (thanks to @shortdorkyasian) by adding this entry to the fstab file:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

Using \040 instead of a space or quotes (single or double) made it work.

This worked.

I edited the fstab file:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

My hdd is now automatically mounted by Debian.

Thank you!

That REALLY doesn’t seem like a good idea considering that *'s are wildcards for anything, and Linux isn’t really fond of spaces.

There are no asterisks in the fstab file. I put them here to emphasize the name of the hdd (I edited my original post to remove them to avoid confusing people).

Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types?

I’m using the ntfs-3g driver.

Btw this is what the entry on fstab looks like now but I’m still getting the parsing error:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 "/media/lucky/New Volume" ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

The asterisks are not in fstab file. I just added them here to emphasize the name of the hdd.

Yup, that’s the name.

I changed the entry on fstab to this (tried it with both single quotes and double quotes) and I’m stilling getting the parse error:

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 "/media/lucky/New Volume" ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

Btw I’m using the ntfs-3g driver, if that helps.

I have been installing the codecs through the Software app. Should I delete them and then install through the terminal?

Btw here are the codecs I have installed through the Software app:

This is what I see when I open Gnome Files, click on the icon with three lines, and select Preferences (there’s no option for choosing the max size):

Got the command to work. Here’s the info for one of the files for which a preview thumbnail/icon isn’t available:

Shoot can’t install it because it’s probably in a repository that is not listed in my sources
