Just paste the images into a word processor then convert them to a PDF, this at least keeps the PDF instead of JPEGs.

I don't have an extention on FF but whenever I copy a link there's an option to also copy clean link. I'm not home, but I believe this is associated with my search engine being SearXNG.

UNetbootin could be cool, it'll provide access to mamy iso's instead of just one.

The KDE spin has x11, KDE is my go to DE everytime. So assumed that layer I guess.

But Fedora is upstream of Alpine, right?

Heck ya to Fedora, glad to see it recommended for a first time user. It's not much more difficult than Mint, but you can also get into the weeds instead of having to find a new distro after Mint. Mint basically has permanent training wheels, while with Fedora you can pop em off whenever it's convient.

Edit: Fedora is also a more up to date Alpine and it's not directly controlled by Red Hat.

Just going off how things are setup in the KDE spin, the tracker is what allows you to search and find files on the machine. Disabling it would most likely make it tough to find files. But I'm not familiar with gnome just to be clear. I'd say report it and hopefully someone else can provide better detail.

A trick I've learned for when this happens with SearXNG is to add "!web" to the search query. It provides a wider range of search engines and images, which specific ones can be selected in the settings. Like all things software, it takes a bit to adjust to a new interface but SearXNG allows users to control a lot more of the functionality.

Sorry it sounds like an add, swear to jah I'm just curious as it seems to have been around.

It's quite an easy program to install and it's also cross platform. The fact drives need the softwarenon aNY PC trying to gain access seems like a feature to me. Maybe if you wanted to copy something from the encrypted drive to a friends computer, only then would it be somewhat of a nuisance. But this all ties into me recommending to leave some portion of the hard drive alone. You'd be able to access anything not in VC's space anywhere, while it's also a breeze to download and install VC too.

If things are still the same from ~ June of 2022 then you have a choice between none, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, Linux Ext4, and NTFS.

Edit: VeraCrypt utilizes a unique encryption process. Its easy as you just move the mouse around like you went mad, but this produces a highly secure encryption key too. As long as your distro works with NTFS then it seems VeraCrypt can assist to help you encrypt. Otherwise, when Windows is a VM it only can do what Linux allows it to do lol
