  • Yeah I’ve had similar problems. I use a usb/kvm switch to switch multiple laptops and desktops on a single monitor/keyboard/mouse. There should be a conf file somewhere that lets you set what gets switched when a usb gets plugged/unplugged or when the computer sleeps. I’m on my phone at the moment so I can’t easily look it up right now.

    Dnf sits on top of rpm (formerly yum did this, formerly up2date did this) the same way apt sits on top of dpkg.

    While ultimately they both provide similar general functionality (installing and updating packages) the specific command syntax and switches differ. And some commands imo are more useful than others.

    Not OP. I like apt. But I switched over from redhat/fedora to Ubuntu like 15+ years ago, and I will say the rpm command offered much better options for querying package metadata. What mostly comes to mind is searching for files belonging to a package, or finding what package a file belongs to. dpkg/ apt-* can’t do that out of the box without some additional apt-* tools installed. Which is ok, but a bit extra clunky.
