Desklets are not working ubuntu 18.045/17/2023 ![]() ![]() I believe in 19.2 Update Manager had a nag that could be dismissed. I’ve mucked around with rsync and like any other command line tool, it’s frickin’ dangerous, potentially through incorrect and ignorant syntax leading to data statement that the only way not to be nagged by TimeShift is to uninstall it is incorrect.

I much preferred the simpler Pinta which has a handy one click adjustment which will often correct white balance. I take pics to share around informally, and found I only used GIMP because of its ability to recognize photos taken on my phone that need rotation adjusted to email correctly. I’m not a graphic artist and her efforts to introduce me to how I could use layers to edit my photos, whether in GIMP or Photoshop, never took. GIMP and Photoshop are powerful and competent programs.
