Hey hey,
I've started trying Cinnamon as a desktop. Since I'm blind, I rely on the
keyboard shortcuts. The standard keybindings doesn't appear to give me much
access though.
Using gsettings I've identified a few Cinnamon related schemas. Though not all
of them are taking effect. I've read abo

like LXDE and WMs such as xmonad and dwm allow one to easily configure
them — you can find a lot more about DEs and WMs like these in the
respective Arch Wiki pages. As a bonus, they're also lighter, faster,

is there a simple, systematic option to set make options for building AUR

Hey hey,
I updated yesterday, from some;thing like a 4.13 or 4.14 kernel to version
4.15.5 and couldn't use my PS/2 keyboard. I saw the LEDs flashing when the

I've managed to get the system going with a USB keyboard.
