@Linux_in_a_Bit @markuswerle just to clarify, which display manager are you using? It's the display manager where you configure this (or accept whatever is the default). You have a choice of display manager if you use Debian (or most other linux distributions for that matter). I use Cinnamon, others use Gnome or KDE or XFCE or other alternatives.
So you have choices. In this respect desktop Linux is to the Windows or Apple desktops much like the #Fediverse is to Facebook or X. But yes it can be confusing.

What's the most common complaint I've heard about Linux? -
What's the most common complaint I've heard about Linux?@markuswerle @Linux_in_a_Bit actually you can do these things in Debian Linux e.g I have a separate button on my top bar to access quit, restart, suspend, hibernate, using sudoers although these days suspend doesn't properly any more, but hibernate still does, but it was very much up to me as the user to set this up myself or to find a Debian variant that already does exactly what I wanted.
When I used Mint it mostly worked out of the box so I could recommend it to newbies, whilst remaining configurable, but then it got the systemd cancer so now I use Devuan. -
Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception? -
Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?@thordis for those that don't know what the generation cut dates are I found this:
Generation Birth Year
Generation Alpha 2013–2025
Generation Z 1997–2012
Millennials (Gen Y) 1981–1996
Generation X 1965–1980
Baby Boomers 1946–1964
Silent Generation 1928–1945
Greatest Generation 1901–1927However pooling Boomers and Alphas as in the questionnaire doesn't make much sense though.

When we design for disabilities, we make things better for everyone.@anemone @stephaniewalter whatever you do often also has some drawbacks, it's not always a one-way street.
Dropped curbs also tilt the pavement (US: sidewalk) near the drop so walking or rolling a buggy along them becomes more difficult, likewise for cyclists if they are shared.
Raised paths across roads create hazards (like speed bumps, sleeping policemen, except they extend to the curb) for vehicles, but in particular for cyclists using the road.
