As I'm French, I do the contrary: international QWERTY layout on AZERTY physical keyboard. I want to switch to an ergonomic layout like ergo-l though, but it's hard to learn.

Just add #!/bin/bash before the code from above.

It's not that important I think, using a strong password different from all other websites is much more important.

He said that, and announced some funding, but here in France we've also been cutting our budgets for a long time. University funding was decreased by 1.5 billion euros in just the latest budget. And research and teaching aren't the only area losing funding.

We are not yet at the same stage as the US, but we could get there.

To be fair some things can't be polyfilled, like the WebUSB API, as someone mentioned in the comments. But lots of the sites could fix their code so it works on Firefox, yeah.

But you can't make a native app think it is opening Chrome when it's opening Firefox with just an extension. The extension only changes things inside the browser, but the Canon app probably checks the app ID of the browser it's opening, which is done at the level of the Android system, and which is not affected by the extension.

Isn't Mulch not maintained anymore, as it was maintained by DivestOS, which has shutdown?

Could the strange hyphenation be due to the influence of their mother tongue? I don't know if there is any language that does it like that, but it seems plausible.

The distro choice isn't that difficult, as if you have experience with Linux you know what you need, and if you don't, just choose any beginner-friendly distro (probably Ubuntu flavors and Mint).

~~If~~ When the script gets too complicated, AI could also convert it to Python.

I tried it once at least, and it did a pretty good job, although I had to tell it to use some dedicated libraries instead of calling programs with subprocess.

There is the "very magic" mode for vim regexes. It's not the exact PCRE syntax, but it's pretty close. You only need to add \v before the expression to use it. There is no permanent mode / option though. (I think you can remap the commands, like / to /\v)

There is also https://www.map.signalbox.io/ for the British mainland (not sure if it's the right word, I'm not from there).
