Re: Full install/persistant live-boot on USB for private browsing?

Yes, you can do all of that as long as you know how to create a persistent bootable drive. I have used "mkusb" and its companion program "guidus" to do just that. That information may not be of much use to you in Windows 10 and you will have to find a suitable Windows USB creator...

Re: Epson WF-7210 stopped printing

I would use the Epson driver supplied by the Epson Download Centre: https://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/sear ... ch/?OSC=LX

The driver you need is (for 64 bit system): epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2_1.1.11-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
Once downloaded, a double click on the file will install it.

I don't see any option to adjust color temperature when i click on the redshift icon. Applets in System Settings has QRedshift as well as Redshift.

The apostrophe is a common character, used for possessives and contractions. That's pretty obvious, I should think. Quite correct and there is no problem with that.

Re: Want MS US International keyboard back

I don't understand what one would use apostrophes before a letter for. The letters as cited by the OP are "t, s, m" (the best I can do is 't, 's, 'm). What is their purpose? I cannot see any difficulty in presenting these.
