Probably because debian-kernel is overwhelmed with the daily grind of

The point about mentioning browsers is that you don't generally look
there. Unix convention is to only lead config (or otherwise hidden)

No, they don't. That, of course, is part of the problem.
But it would be useful if packages were to have a standard format for
declaring what dotfiles the package is in charge of. Much like the way

Package managers don't track .dotfiles. Those are created at runtime by
your software.

What is the recommended way to set up part of a USB volume as an
encrypted volume, so that I can back up those few of my files that
actually contain secrets?
This is not a backup over the net. I have no need to encrypt the data
transmission.
I already back up the bulk of my files transparentl
There are lots of .dotfiles cluttering my home directory.
No doubt some of them are useful.
Many, though, are probably remnants of packages of years past -- packages
I installed long ago, no longer need, and have removed.
Is there any way of identifying which packages are using which dotfiles?

Hi,
I don't have a Ubuntu at hand, so I can't tell the version of grub Ubuntu
is using. Suppose the "grub-pc" is used just as debian did. You can simply
do that by executing:
$ sudo update-grub2
this command will probe all installation in your machine, and generate a
new grub config file at: /boot/
I use ssh to connect and create tunnels, then a simple "x11vnc
-display :0" to startup the server.
If you need to stay on windows, search the web for "easy ssh tunnels
putty". vnc is not a secure protocol so don't rely on just setting a
password if you are accessing from faraway-pc.
