As long as you copy from the device file (/dev/whatever), you will get “the raw bits”, regardless of whether you use dd, cp, or even cat.

You’re thinking of Mtgox, a Magic card trading website that reinvented itself as a Bitcoin exchange—and then disappeared with its users’ money.

As someone who occasionally dabbles in music production on Linux, I love that Pipewire lets me run JACK and Pulseaudio apps side-by-side without having to jump through hoops.

On my distro (debian) I can use systemctl --user restart pipewire.service.

This website explains the process: https://git-send-email.io/

You could try the solution suggested in this reddit thread, and use systemctl to start and stop wireguard instead of wg-quick.

For me, Crunchbang was a great introduction to the possibilities of customizing your Linux experience. No giant, monolithic desktop environment, just a handful of programs that you could (and were encouraged to) tweak or replace to your heart’s content.

I still run a Crunchbang-inspired setup on my vanilla Debian install—openbox, tint2, conky, nitrogen, gmrun, Win+Letter hotkeys for frequently-used apps, etc. While I’ve outgrown the need for a preconfigured distro myself, I’m glad to see these projects still providing an on-ramp for users looking to dip their toes into the deeper end of the Linux pool.

Same thing happened to me. Borked my Windows install and didn’t have a recovery disc, so I just wiped the whole thing and went Linux-only. Never looked back since. :)

Sometimes, all you need is a little push to get you out of your comfort zone.
