They are being returned by a query that checks whether they are required by anything already.
They are orphans … they are not required by any other package.
The question of what they do would be at least partially answered by
You may be interested in using PkgBrowser. While getting the info you need by using various commands in the terminal is relatively easy (once you know what they are), but you may prefer this GUI which really provides a lot of info.
I tried timeshift, weird application. I never used it before. I opened it and it automatically started to make a backup for me to a USB drive I had plugged in. Bit weird. According to a google search, it’s for backing up the system and everything except for the home directory. When I actually look into it, it backs up the home directory and nothing of the system.
Not really. I’m usually confused when software is not inside a terminal. I was confused on what the software does, still am, and no one has been giving me an actual answer yet.
Yes, but the answers aren’t clear, which is the issue. It returns vague terms. A piece of software that is a “virtual framebuffer x server” sounds rather important.
I hope there is no Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in your Room and controlling the Mouse for you
I always have full control about Timeshift and it only created a snapshot when i clicked on the right button.
Per default it backup Root/Boot Partition, if i remember correct… you can expand it to home, if you want too.
The truth is, it can overwrite files when you want to restore your system and you may or may not regret the decision… which files are replaced/overwritten… think twices what you want/prefer.
But for me personally i prefer a backup from Root and included Home Partition, but when a snapshot is a little bid older… and you not always create a fresh snapshot and replace your changed files… you may regret it.
Anyways, i also think the GUI is bad designed, specially the option to include/exclude stuff… it had design flaws.
