Have you ever wondered one of those?


  • How does this plumbing behind GNOME actually work?

  • What are all these processes on my system here for?

  • How can I manage user permissions for system actions?

  • How can I override or force user configurations?

  • How do I configure GDM?

  • What can I do with NetworkManager?
