Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
Upgrading Debian 10 to Debian 11, three annoyances and a solution for one of them

The good thing I've found is how to get away with GTK3's "animations," which make the UI render somewhat visibly slower even in other aspects (like browsing Geeqie's images), despite xorg.conf settings that give me the best performance, as assessed by gtkperf.
Found on this thread on Bunsenlabs, which has additional gtk3 tweaks, including the one that re-sets the scroll bar behavior like it was before the bug/feature of having it different, all of a sudden, for no reason. It's still far from being as good as if GTK3 supported GTK2 themes, but at least makes it more bearable.
It was a bit of a relief to quickly find it looking for the wording "animation," and being exactly that, rather than something more cryptic and impossible to disable.
The other issues unfortunately are significantly harder to solve. For some reason, I've lost the permissions to mount internal hard disks without being asked for a password, with udisksctl. Also, likely unrelated, some python scripts I use sometimes are no longer working, apparently not finding parts of themselves on ~/.local/lib/pythonN.N/ or something like that, even though they're there.
