How To Get The Computer Icon Back In Nautilus In Gnome 47.

Debian Trixie which is Debian Testing has recently been updated from Gnome 46 to Gnome 47. With it comes new features which I welcome. One of the not so good features is that for some strange reason Gnome have removed the link to the computer folder in Nautilus the file manager which I think is a  stupid idea. As most people including myself like to view their Computer folder. As it is where all of the system files are stored. In previous versions of Gnome the Computer folder was called "Other Locations" and it was here you could view both your computer drive and your system files.

Other Alternative To Software And Updates Tool In Debian.

The software And Updates graphical tool also known as Software Properties GTK or Software Properties QT (if you are using the KDE or LXQT Desktop) is included in Ubuntu. It is a very handy tool that enables you to view and manage your software repositories, and update settings all in one place. Linux Mint has their own version of the tool which is only for Linux Mint. Debian have also had this tool in Debian but it has been removed from Debian Trixie (Debian Testing) and no longer works in Debian Sid (Debian Unstable.) It can still be installed in Debian Sid but does nothing so I think Debian have either disabled it or it is no longer compatible with later versions of Debian. Which is what I am running. I have Debian Sid on one laptop and Debian Trixie on my other laptops.

How To Fix Openshot And Appimages Not Working On Debian And Ubuntu.

 I am running Debian 12 Bookworm with the Mate desktop and I use Openshot Video Editor Appimage version. Because the version that both Ubuntu and Debian provides in the package manager is so old which I don't like. As I would rather have the latest version which is updated. Unfortunately the only way to get that on Debian, and Ubuntu is to install the Appimage version. As there is no Deb File and I found that after I updated my system that Openshot no longer worked. It just wouldn't run although other Appimages I had on my system did.

Get The Updated Version Of XScreensaver On Linux Mint And Ubuntu.

How To Install The Latest Version Of XScreensaver On Linux Mint.

 This also works on Ubuntu, Debian Bookworm and all Debian and Ubuntu based distros.

Linux Mint and Ubuntu both come with XScreensaver but it is  5.45 which is a very old version. Debian Bookworm which I also have comes with version 6.06 but it is better to have the latest version. Both for security reasons and to get the latest features that the new version has to offer. Which is a better lockscreen and different lockscreen themes that are not in the old version.

Version 5.45 is very old and is years out of date. Also you are missing out on some nice new features of the latest version if you are running the old version.
