A good amount of distros actively have this functionality. To avoid breaking system packages, you can install the distro package for the given module or as the error recommends: use a venv for the given project.

As to why many guides don't include it, I suspect as typical for many Linux-centric articles: they weren't been written by knowledgeable individuals or just in general are writing with knowledge that is often 5+ years out of date.

An aside to the technical question of how to migrate profiles to older versions:

DO NOT DOWNGRADE FIREFOX BELOW 131.0.2 OR ESR 128.3.1, 115.16.1

I feel that given this recent vulnerability, it is important to make this notice.

Otherwise:

For migrating profiles between the same major version, Mozilla provides a guide for full profile migration. This also works with forwards compatibility. I generally wouldn't try to go backwards however as many new major versions change the data format and contents of your profiles, which older versions have no idea how to interpret.

For downgrading, it's best to export bookmarks, go through your important addons and backup the settings for each one that needs configuration, and take note of anything you're previously modified in about:config to your preference. Perhaps take screenshots of your tab bar and overflow menu as well so you can recustomize them to your liking easily on the downgraded version.

A couple things to check using a quick bash script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /sys/class/power_supply/BAT*/
echo "Charge cycles: $(cat cycle_count)"
printf '%s\0' 'Health: ' &
bc <<< "scale=3; ($(cat charge_full) / $(cat charge_full_design)) * 100"

That should print out the wear cycles the battery has endured and its reported capacity over design capacity. If your battery has less than 1000 cycles and the health reported from the battery is less than 80%, it might be best to contact Framework for warranty replacement as the battery is likely defective.

The question that I have to ask: what category of CLI apps (or even some examples) exist that are too complex to maintain a few versions simultaneously as native packages but are not complex enough to just use an OCI container for them instead?

Alongside many others, I agree that using QEMU through GUI frontends like virt-manager or GNOME Boxes, or even server-focused solutions like Cockpit+VM plugin or Proxmox layered on top of your installation.

I just want to note a decent point against other solutions like VirtualBox or the VMWare products that work on Linux: these solutions that don't rely on QEMU almost certainly need the user to install out-of-tree kernel modules (that in some cases may also be proprietary). QEMU and its frontends don't need out-of-tree modules in a majority of distros and can work out of the box with all features (given BIOS configuration of the host and hardware supports them).

How are these games (Lethal Company, BeamNG) installed? If they came from a Windows install on NTFS, just reinstall them on a proper filesystem and then you will be able to play them through proton. Roblox just doesn't work so it's not worth testing.

I'd imagine mpd with one of many frontends would work well enough. You'd just need to use a dummy music library directory with symlinks to your four music storages for mpd to pick up and catalog everything.

The username release is quite recent for those not participating in beta versions of Signal.

I'm glad I am not the only one who calls my little ASUS netbook craptop. Kinda flimsy and definitely underpowered, but a perfect little device to run basic applications and terminal applications on a minimal window manager.

Before going any further to adjust your Z offset and other factors to tune for better bed adhesion, you should probably adjust your bed to actually be level as well as ensure (seeing that you only have one z lead screw?) that the X axis frame isn't sagging on the side not containing your Z lead screw. Once you've got those factors sorted out, you should check your probe repeatability and then set your Z offset accordingly.

Bed adhesion even with proper, clean first layers can be a pain depending on the bed surface, material being printed, how clean the bed is of oils and other contaminants, how hot the material is being extruded, and how hot the bed is among other factors. While using a bed mesh will greatly help to account for off-zero unevenness in your bed surface, you really shouldn't use it to compensate for uneven bed leveling (especially when it looks like you are nearing more than 0.5 mm in unevenness).

To diagnose other print issues, it will be helpful to see a picture showcasing the problems described in a failed print.

As a side note, it is somewhat difficult to read your Klipper config file without using view source as it is being markdown formatted. You can negate it by using three graves on the lines above and below it so that it is wrapped in a 'code block' and isn't formatted.

User-Centric Innovation: Unveiling the Industry-Leading Battery Life

We know how a smartwatch becomes integral to its wearer's life, and battery life can't be a concern. That's why we went back to the drawing board, driven by community feedback, to ensure the OnePlus Watch 2 delivers an exceptional user experience. With up to 100-hour battery life in full Smart Mode, it sets a new industry standard, ensuring that your watch keeps pace with your life, uninterrupted.

Really impressive how OnePlus is touting a relatively mediocre 4-day (at best) battery life on a smartwatch as something exceptional or something that they (falsely) claim as industry-leading. Maybe it is good by typical WearOS device standards, but is by no means top of the line for the smartwatch industry.

Yes, just make sure that the boot setup for the distro install is compatible with what you intend to install it onto (I.E. if your server is going to be using EFI to boot an OS, install your Ubuntu instance as GPT, EFI onto the SSD). Depending on what wireless modules you are using and where you are sourcing them and how you are installing them, you might need to ensure Secure Boot is disabled in the BIOS of your server. This will be the case if the kernel module package you are installing doesn't sign the wireless adapter driver you intend to use. Otherwise, most drivers you could possibly need should be baked into the kernel and you should be good to go.

(One further sidenote coming from someone who has not used Ubuntu in a long time (since 16.04's release), it would be good to check in the /etc/fstab file that the filesystem references are using either UUID or PARTUUID. Depending upon the drive layout of the server you are mounting the intended drive into, traditionally labeled references such as sda or nvme0n1 can change depending upon the slots each drive is seated. Using UUID or PARTUUID in the fstab reference alleviates any potential complications from this scenario where fstab might reference the wrong drive in mounting partitions. I do believe Ubuntu would likely do this by default nowadays, but it can't hurt to check.)
