  • I’d lean toward the way you have it now. I like having the owner profile as my daily driver. Any app that I have doubts about gets its own profile.

    If you haven’t already, check out the Graphene forum and search for profiles. There have been lots of discussions about this, and you’ll find some good examples for various privacy/security needs.





  • I have to ask… Are you actually happy with Kodi? Did you find a way to make it more usable?

    I set it up on a RPi, got Netflix and Amazon working on it, and I really, REALLY wanted to like it…

    But I just can’t. The interface is awful. The sorting is nonsensical. You have to manually enable thumbnails. You can change it, but you have to change it for every interface. And then it doesn’t remember, so you have to go through all that again the next time you use it.

    Sorry if I sound whiny, but I’d love to know if you got it to be more usable than I could.




  • We each have our own checking account. We also have a joint account. Each of us receives our paychecks in our personal account. We each keep a small portion in our personal accounts for each month for personal expenses, gifts, etc. The rest goes into the joint account.

    We set up credit cards the same way. This gives us the means to buy gifts for each other without the other knowing. It also provides redundancy for lost cards.

    We can both see the joint accounts. We cannot see each other’s personal accounts. Our bank has it set up so I can see everything I have access to on a single online account.

    This arrangement has been working well for years.











  • Me too. I have a Brother printer. When I first set it up, Windows printed everything in inverse black and white until I hunted down the correct driver. Windows also never figured out how to wake it up, so I always had to manually wake it up. And it simply never worked with the scanner.

    Linux got everything right without me having to fuss with anything.
