Sadly true. When I installed texlive-base it tried to install like 300 recommended packages, I almost accepted D:
I’d still recommend it, I don’t know if you can change the default for recommended packages because aside from that, I actually love it.
Any image/video editor in Android. I’ve been trying Image Toolbox, but sometimes it doesn’t work or crashes :(
You know anyone is capable of telling the same thing, but about proprietary code or about that stance you have? Not everyone has to follow the FSF steps nor LInux-Libre, they’re there for people who want them and follows their principles. They do what they think is right and invest in that, you don’t so you don’t invest in that. I think it’s great for them to work in projects like GNU Health, Linux-Libre or even Hurd (if it’s even active) so we can see more free software development in the future and free software culture in things like health devices (which may or may not be inside your body). I agree with you about microcode, though, but I think AMD is working on opening some microcode in their GPUs (I’m not sure about CPUs), which is great! You can just do your own thing, I prefer to use free software when I can and settle with proprietary code I can’t change, other people likes to settle with proprietary systems and a small group likes to force free software in everything they can. I can still help with donations, reporting issues (my favorite part about FOSS/OSS is clear communication) and helping the community until I’m knowledgeable enough in programming.
Btw, I don’t think we have to always settle, we can still fight and get things changing for the better. It may take some time, but I think it’s worth it.
I think tools like YaST help to save time, instead of editing the bootloader in config files, you can simply enter, search for “Boot Loader” and edit there, be following a tutorial or official documentation. I sometimes prefer to use YaST just so I don’t do things wrong. it’s like the old Control Panel in Windows.
I use Canva in the browser, but I gotta say that it works better in Microsoft Edge than in Firefox. I think it may be a Chromium thing, but I haven’t tested other browsers.
The last time I broke Plasma with themes, was because they weren’t compatible anymore. They could do better with the store, though, there is a lot of stuff which doesn’t work anymore.
I use Tab Stash if I’m about to close/restart the browser or I changed the focus of my research, but if I don’t wanna lose some keywords or something, I prefer to use KNotes (or any sticky notes) and write why some keywords are important and their context, so I don’t have to maintain too many open tabs. Just yesterday I had like 15 tabs and was overwhelmed lol
It is a metasearch engine, so you can tweak the sources of the results, default language, etc. I personally use all the default plus some more engines and all languages, then reduce results if I can’t find useful information. It has made searches easier for me, since you can find all types of information with just one click (Search | Images | Files | Academic | etc.) and multiple languages, but it can be not so welcoming to people that want simple searches.
So true, I’m still a student, but taking care of my plants daily is relaxing and repetitive, also some problem solving when there are plagues lol
You know you can just ignore it and check alternatives, since there are a lot of forks, right?
Syncing files that you may open in both (or more) devices at the same time is unsafe with any service, but you can manage to avoid sync conflicts with KeePass if you do not open the same file at the same time or open the Android app in read-only mode. I’ve only had like 3-4 conflict files this year and they weren’t important.
I second this. I’ve been using it for months, compilation may seem complicated, but you just prepare your environment once and you aren’t bothered again. You can ask for support if you find problems, and you can easily modify and backup your configuration for future uses or just in case :)
Lol, that used to happen to me a lot when I used Windows. I resized my Linux partition and rarely return, I only have the basics installed because of some uni projects that might require Windows software and it still manages to bug while updating or opening Teams
I agree with you in certain points, but there are others that are just wrong. Seem like you didn’t even check what you wrote. Also, you compare it constantly with Chrome, but then in the comments you talk about other Chromium-based browsers that have even less market share, which is it?
I won’t deny that you’re right in some points, but please fact check what you just wrote before complaining.
Hey, that sounds very interesting. Hope you can do it in the future, I’ll definitely join. :)
I like Mastodon a lot. i feel like people talk more about themselves and express their opinions freely, even me.
It’s like a cozy (?) place. I feel comfortable and I surrounded by different opinions, but in a relaxing way, actually communicating and talking.
With KDE Plasma it lets me update from its store, even though it’s kind of annoying because I like to do it from the CLI and it blocks Zypper when checking for available updates.
