    The Pitot tube doesn’t work as the ballon is moving (more or less) with the wind, i.e. both pressure tubes, the one for static pressure and the one for total pressure, in the Pitot tube experience (almost) the same pressure, resulting in measuring (almost) zero dynamic pressure and thus velocity.



  • Of course one should avoid using the originally provided GTK software under KDE, as it’s also spamming the app drawer.

    It should work the same as for the Ubuntu -> Kununtu transition: Install some KDE Plasma desktop metapackage, logout and login using KDE, then remove the libgtk* packages to uninstall the Mate/Cinnamon desktop and it’s associated applications. One can reinstall the desired packages, e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, Synaptic, afterwards.













  • No. It will boot the previous kernel, but the user experience will be at least suboptimal if some packages have already been removed during the upgrade, but the upgrade stopped at some point because a downloaded package was corrupt, leaving lots of dependent packages unconfigured. In case networking doesn’t work, it’s also inconvenient to manually download the affected package on another machine and transfer it with a usb stick onto the computer to restart the upgrade.
