Hey yourself! Your community has a rep. And a penchant for telling
people to go to console and hand edit something in etc, in VI (no
Emacs!) with no understanding that most people aren't capable of even
finding etc.

LOL, no worries. :)

I post weird things in there to get discussion going sometimes -- like
when I upgrade my kernel, and how long it took to compile it.

(Though, I'm currently using my Tufbook with a stock kernel,
since we're about to head off to the Lone Pine Film Festival,
and I'm making sure the laptop doesn't let me down. :)

ObGaming:

I installed Elite Dangerous Odyssey on here and flew around
using keyboard and touchpad for control.  Very strange. I've never used
keyboard/touchpad, or keyboard/mouse, for flying; I have a HOTAS.

I tried the on-foot tutorial.  Discovered my default touchpad
driver would disable itself while typing, so had to hunt for
the setting to allow changing direction while moving.  (This is
also a problem for some Windows installations, if Google searches
are any indication.)
