No native virtual keyboard.
Yes that is correct it is something is not installed by default. It should be choice given to the user to install a virtual keyboard,
Being a distro hopper for the last year or so I found your os to be very good on my 8 year old HP. Easy install and friendly interface. Kudos for a decent product. Btw I still laugh when I go on to my Win 11 machine and watch all the nonsense happen.
Charlie,
Super excited to hear you are enjoying Peppermint. Yeah the windows world is something watch go by LOL
Microsoft must be aware of the increasing Linux use. Wyndoze is adding ‘sudo’ to their command line. Perhaps they will introduce more Linux-specific commands in the future?
Moreover, Lennart Poettering (also Microsoft employee now) wants to replace sudo entirely with run0. You see where this is going? I recommend using doas for now, either through opendoas package or OpenBSD (where it comes from).
