  • On Slavic layouts, the right Alt key (AltGr) lets us type symbols like [, ], {, }, &, @, #, ×, ÷, , đ since 0-9 is for diacritical letters by default and numbers with Shift. Still, Czech Windows users mostly use Alt codes, which is a point of friction when switching to Linux. But there, I’m happy with how I can customize the AltGr and the new AltGr+Shift layers with curly quotes, em dash, nbsp, hair space, arrows, middle dot, pi (π), pretty pi (𝛑), mu, Omega etc. My Compose key is RCtrl.














  • Is there a tool to automatically check partitions for excessive log files, caches or other junk? The root partition of a Linux box I have is 60 GiB and almost full, and XFCE will fail to start when there’s no space. I would use WinDirStat on Windows but the Linux alternatives can’t do the job properly because they scan by file tree and some subdirectories of / are on other partitions because of symlinks… I guess I could boot a live USB and mount my ext4 root partition but not the NTFS storage one but I’d rather avoid that.
