    Update; for anyone following, with regards to QEMU I reached out to some #QEMU chat and got the following response; Your Windows SSD has a Linux device name and you simply point to that in your configuration.

    Nerd-Dictation Installed - Not sure how to parse a sound file through it for translation

    Realistic Timeline for Learning Linux

    As a relative newbie, switching full time to Linux on both my PC's from a long time smudgy Windows experience I can say that in over a few months full time, I am now pretty confident in being able to turn my laptop into an expensive paperweight without too much difficulty. The good news is that...

    PCloud Permissions Issues - No consistency at all???

    Hiya I have PCloud Cloud Drive on my Zorin (Ubuntu-ish) system, and it did work correctly initially in that I could open, edit and save documents and files. It has since become what seems to be random with how it deals with permissions. I have found other articles that say it is mounted as...

    Timeshift Restore has borked my permissions; Error: some files/attrs were not transferred (code 23)

    Okay, thanks Lord Blotar, so in your option it seems as though the backup file should be complete, yet the restore only managed 'partial transfer' hence the issues? I will try your suggestion and provide an update hopefully shortly...

    Cannot uninstall software (Manuskript) using Software Manager, Terminal (purge), Synaptics Manager etc, as not showing as installed???

    Thank you kindly, you found him hiding in the flatpaks (flatpak list). My concern was that the install was some rogue copycat installed version of Manuskript, however if it is genuine, it can stay. Perhaps I may ask if there is an equivalent to Add/Remove Programs that lists all installs, or are...

I installed a few apps over some days and realised that I had two instances...
