  • do you miss anything from windows?

  • I like inkscape but snapping is terrible. In corel I just drag whatever I need with my mouse and it just snaps to where I need it to be. I always thought this is fairly simple and standard but when I tried snapping in Inkscape, it always tries to snap to something on the other half of the document.

    I need to constantly change snapping options to make it work whereas in corel I enabled all the options, set and forget thing, it just does what I want every time, as if it's reading my mind, without the need to toggle snapping options every time.

  • I'm switching on Saturday.

    Jump

  • I'd say the stopping thing is a few multiplayer PvP games with anticheat, also some software that won't work in Wine (adobe products, corel products, microsoft products).

    Yes, I know alternatives exist (Krita, Inkscape, LibreOffice). No, they are not 100% drop-in replacements. I for myself love working in LibreOffice Writer, but when you work in a place where everyone except you uses MS Word and expects DOCX files, you can't "just" switch to linux without issue.

  • Inkscape needs help. The Inkscape team is hiring one issue administrator and two C++ developers for part time positions

  • Is it somw kind of hug of death? I'm getting 403 forbidden.

  • Editing PDFs contents

    Jump

  • IMHO it's the best PDF editor out there, idk why Adobe is considered the standard PDF software when it's so terrible compared to PDF XChange. XChange editor has every possible tool I ever needed, you can move around objects, change text, move and rotate and crop pages etc. It's just so good. You can't even edit text in adobe acrobat properly because it will break the text layout, in XChange you can if you're careful with fonts, spacing, indents etc.

    It's miles ahead of adobe acrobat and works in Linux as well, I know it's proprietary and pursists will hate me but it's my go to tool when I need to do anything serious with PDF in both windows and linux.

  • Editing PDFs contents

    Jump

  • Others have already explained about PDF not being easy to edit and lack of FOSS tools.

    The only advice I can give is that PDF XChange editor works well under Wine if you have it.

  • HelixNotes now on Android, same Rust + Tauri codebase

    Jump

  • Then it won't update.

  • Please let me know when APK is in izzy droid. Yeah I know about Obtainium but tbh I hate to use it when f-droid is available instead.

  • HelixNotes - a local markdown note-taking app (Rust + Tauri, AGPL-3.0)

    Jump

  • Can you tell me more? Is it FOSS? Is it electron? Is it a UI for a folder of markdown files? Is there a native android app? What is "native" syncing? Do I have to pay for some kind of cloud?

  • HelixNotes - a local markdown note-taking app (Rust + Tauri, AGPL-3.0)

    Jump

  • In case anyone is interested, AppImage won't launch in Q4OS 5.8 (debian based distro), errors are GCC_13.0.0 not found and GLIBC_2.38 not found (which is surprising, I thought appimages ship all required packages together.

    Jump

  • Thanks, gotta try this!

    Well, there's Markor on android, so even without a dedicated android app, I can use Helix Notes + syncthing + Markor on the phone and ditch obsidian if it's good.

  • HelixNotes - a local markdown note-taking app (Rust + Tauri, AGPL-3.0)

    Jump

  • Yeah it's free, I just meant "foss", I didn't mean to say obsidian isn't free.

    Also I use syncthing, so I don't care about built-in sync as long as it's just a folder of files on my file system.

    Jump

  • Do I get it right that this is like Obsidian, but free and open source?

    How does it compare to Obsidian? Does it have note linking using square brackets?

    Not to be rude or anything like that, where I'm going is not the "we already have obsidian, why you made this" but "currently obsidian is one of the few non-FOSS things I use in Linux, would be happy to replace obsidian with this if it's a good substitute".

    I don't use obsidian plugins, so I understand that HelixNotes doesn't have this whole plugin ecosystem and can't replace obsidian for people that rely on plugins, but for me it's fine.

    Is android app coming?

  • So, which DE is the best one?

    Jump

  • Not to soud rude, but how is your "best DE" thread different from thousands of other "best DE" threads where everyone already gave their opinion? There's plenty of "opinions" on "best DE" online.

  • Drag and Drop is an absolute mess

    Jump

  • Flatpak:

    Sucks

    User:

    Comes to linux community to complain

    Maybe try submitting an issue to flatpak devs, contribute to it, or stop using it if it doesn't work for you?

    I never used flatpak and have no issues with drag and drop.

  • Maybe it's not a bug and just me being dumb how can I disable it?

    Jump

  • Maybe you should just disable rounded corners entirely if you want to avoid "holes" between windows?

  • Maybe it's not a bug and just me being dumb how can I disable it?

    Jump

  • Isn't it because corners are rounded, so even if you snap edges of 4 windows perfectly, their "corners" won't align because they are rounded?

  • Best way to run Adobe products on Linux? Specifically lightroom.

    Jump

  • Could you help me with GPU passthrough?

    I technically have 2 GPUs in my laptop, one integrated into intel CPU and one discrete nvidia (so called "optimus"). Is it possible to pass nvidia while keeping intel for linux DE?

    I tried to read some tutorials but tbh they all leave more questions than give answers.

  • X11 Secondary Selection

  • Gnome can't ship a config to disable secondary selection because there is no secondary selection.

  • Nobody is removing it?…

  • Never even thought of that, but this is genious.

    Maybe using ctrl for that is not the best decision, but I understand this was just a showcase. I wish this actually existed and was used in real desktop environments.
