for comparison, here's the default
How much do you think I earn to afford paying for Office or Adobe? :) i’ve never paid for any of those, even though I’ve been using Adobe since CS5.
As for donating: i agree, for now i sometimes help in contributing to the codebase in a bit smaller apps i actually can fix things in.
I used WPS, it was worse than Libre from the usability, plus quite bloated with all sorts of stuff (luckily, I don’t have to pay for the Office, and will never actually do that willingly). Haven’t used the other two, however, will have a look, thanks!
Both GIMP and Krita are very nice and decent, just not powerful enough for many things I need photoshop for. Inkscape is actually much closer to Illustrator (not as powerful, but still), so that might be the only one with the “getting used to it” issue.
Actually, one other thing I should have mentioned, is that I also transited from using Premiere Pro to Kdenlive (and sometimes even Blender for very light video editing). Kdenlive is an amazing success story for KDE, hope that happens to Krita as well.
PS. The name GIMP sounds amazing! Love it, they should never change it )
A free-falling observer lives in a locally Minkowskian space-time, so feels no such thing. So I like my metric flat.
like i mentioned above in the comment, i really meant to say OnlyOffice (but i also tried Libre, and a bunch of others)
unfortunately, it's a product of imagination of an overpowered progenitor of our future overlords, otherwise known as GPT-4. and apparently, it still does not want to produce 16x10 images (that is, unless you give it a sacrifice in the form of monthly subscriptions). but feel free to use the image for whatever purposes )
sorry, i really meant OnlyOffice. though i tried LibreOffice as well, you can see my breakdown in this post
Out of curiosity, how did you piss before?
lying on my back like all normal people
Do Gentoo next, and good work!
was planning Nix to understand the whole reproducible build idea, but Gentoo is a good suggestion too! will try that
i tried openoffice, and it's actually quite decent! the video support is kinda clumsy, because it has no preview at all (the video is basically black unless you make a slideshow, and it also has black boundaries make it square, and you have to manually crop it every time). i also don't quite like their pushiness about making an account with them and running things on the cloud. but otherwise looks pretty good. i mean the main advantage over powerpoint i guess is the ability to run on linux (and the fact they're free, which is a huge kudo!)
Well in that sense Macs aren’t too different from any other laptop. HDMI worked just fine. I was also trying to connect a USB-C monitor through an HDMI adapter, which didn’t quite work, but I think that might be the case with other laptops too (it’s probably a driver issue). From the desktop experience point of view, KDE handles multi monitor flawlessly, can’t think of any complaints.
Like the other reply suggests: look up which drivers you got (mainly the wlan, bluetooth and the camera), and see if WL or facetimehd support those. It wasn’t that much of a pain with the drivers though. Also, find out whether you have the “over the internet recovery”. If not, I would probably avoid deleting the recovery partition, and opt for a dual boot (or manual partitioning).
i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i'm usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).
PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: "nmtui that does not rape your eyes."
