The first item on your list should have been to try Gimp ?

It is already replacing call centers, apart from this no breakthrough …

Libreoffice suite allows you to export any document in pdf. Libreoffice Draw I use to edit pdf content. PdfArranger is a very nice tool to change the structure of a pdf (like adding a pdf file to an existing pdf, or deleting pages, you see all the pages at once on the screen and can see the content when you zoom, very intuitive). When I need to add signatures or raster pictures with transparency, I open the required page on Gimp and “File->Open as layer” the picture. Usually it works with Draw directly.

I have been working several years like this and it is pretty much a no-brainer now.

PC revolution is over, back to terminal with accounting dept controlling the processor cycles you use for your petty project…

Til Julius Evola deemed himself a “superfascist” and seems to be still idolized today by neofascist

His family fled Russia when he was young, he was brought up in Germany (Koln, Cologne). He became a neonazi there, am influent one (White Rex was his brand of MMA sportswear). He is not “right wing”, he is a straight neonazi. His mother repudiated him for being a neonazi. He just just “hate” Putin more than Zelensky, whom he called “a Jew”. There is plenty enough evidence on Wikipedia of him being on the wrong side of morals and ethics to not honor his memory ; he now is dead, but still a nazi.

Yes you are right, usually linux users that are not in IT have no choice but using bad microsoft computers (or Apple for designers/upper upper management) when they are employees.

But if you are general manager, or an independant contractor, you do whatever you want, and I have been on Debian, Void since 3 years now and it is just great.

People complain that “your files are not compatible” (i.e.: their excel version can not open a moderately complex xlsx file), and you use stupidly dumb webapp for Outlook and Teams, but otherwise if you don’t need to commit for a specific software (built for windows or mac, like Adobe suite, 2D or 3D CAD softwares, some kind of old school ERP or CRM), you are all good. Basically everything done by management staff can be done using LibreOffice.

The “cloud revolution” at least has given us this good result : you can have basic business utilities solved through a webclient, hence GNU/Linux OS is ok to work with.

It am quite sure in the manual, but if you just look on the interwebz tutorials every command line just writes the full shebang. So you don’t look up the manual and get flabbergasted when you see this post. btw: if you are able to guess “what the standard shortcut would be”, you are a wizard Harry 🥳

Incredible that it’s not written everywhere, I always wanted to use something like this without the " update && upgrade" which looks like is not working oftentimes

Ils veulent juste faire de la thune

I was just checking that yesterday, and there was the opportunity to have something equivalent to a “steam phone” with https://liberux.net/#specs , but the indiegogo failed.

One that is actually sold is the Furiphone , which is under finalization of software update., and has chroot for Android apps with Waydroid. check the links ! 😊

Problem with Wayland, is the liability of being to not able the use of some software, and not being able to foresee it.

X11 is also working well, and a lot of the “issues” people have with it is more about hearsay than real issues.

This is the reason why we have distro diversity: we can choose ! And laugh at innocent memes either way we feel about it

Antix , a debian, should be a good one for you. Base configuration is good, you may have issues with wifi connecting on startup, but otherwise it is enjoyable.

The GNU project as a whole.

DRY SOLID KISS

You can read the Pathfinder book and just use the tables associated with equipment … Pen & Paper RPG is wonderful because you are not limited to one book/system, you can pick what pleases you from different sources, it does not matter for the “not metagaming” playersx

Satisfying 😂

At last ! Thanks for sharing the results, it was feeling weird having to change anytime going on gnu.org or whatever
