I tried that, it has different ways of looking at a diff/history, but none where you can just have it open while still working (unless you do split I suppose, but that is not practical as I need to go through hundreds of files. But perhaps it helps if I describe the problem. Maybe there is another solution I am not thinking of: I have almost 2000 files that all have had 1 change (so there is an initial commit and a recent version). What I need to do is go through each file and add the changes made to the file as a comment. So what I would like is: When I open a file, see immediately which lines were changed., and then be able to see what it was that changed so I can either copy/paste or retype it as a comment. Each change I review and I either add a #ACCEPTED, #DENIED or a #REVIEW to the comment as well.

So having to switch to different views and opening/closing tabs for each file is something I would like to avoid. Just open the file, see what I need, type and close the file again.

I need to be able to see the difference between the current working file and the previous commit as I am editing the file. The only history plugins I can find either use pop-ups (which disappear when I start typing) or a dedicated diff-view which takes up too much space on my small monitor.

Thanks. I will probably end up keep using gimp and krita.

Looks interesting, hadn't heard from it. Thanks.

I managed to get Photoshop CS6 installed on Lutris, using the script on their site. The problem is however, that whenever I open a file (doesn't matter if it is jpg, png, psd, etc.) the screen remains black. I can see the picture in the Layer thumbnail, but not in the main work-area. Does anyone know what the problem might be? (Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask).

Personally I self-host on a raspberry pi. It took me a few weeks to setup, but it has been running without problems for almost 2 years now at practically no cost (beyond purchase and electricity).

I tried lsd once in my tweens. Didn't really like the trip itself but remember feeling good for a week afterwards. Never tried shrooms. Might consider it. Just not sure where to get it (safely). Thanks for the advice.

I too recently made the switch from Windows to Linux. I wonder what people mean by a "new user"? My first computer was a Commodore VIC-20, followed by a C64 and later an Amiga 500. The OS on the Amiga was somewhat like Linux (at least from memory). I tried Linux a few times in the past 30 years or so. Once because I was curious I ordered a CD (do not remember which distro that was), then 20 years ago because of work (I think that was Ubuntu) and a few years ago (maybe 4-5) because I had an old laptop that couldn't run Windows any more. Since it was just an old laptop I only used to watch movies/series on, I distro-hopped a bit on it. Of all the ones I tried, Manjaro was the fastest and the one that gave me no problems with hardware working out-of-the-box. Mind you, none of these experiences with Linux were very intensive. And while I am a programmer and I learned at school how computers work (this was in the 80s), I consider myself a noob when it comes to Linux. Does that make me a "new user"?

Recently I was planning on building a new PC and contemplated going from Windows 10 to 11, but the whole software market has been irking me for a while now. Everything (not just software and OS mind you) seems to be switching more and more to a subscription model, which just feels wrong to me. Not to mention the ever-increasing breach of privacy by the big companies. As such, before building my new computer, I tried a few distros on my old PC. First I tried all the flavours of Ubuntu and decided fairly quickly that KDE is my desktop environment. Gnome is just too restrictive for my taste and the others feel too much like Windows (just a personal opinion, obviously). In terms of actual distro, I noticed all the Ubuntu flavours gave me problems after using them a few days, so that one was crossed off the list. While doing my "research" I quickly came to the conclusion I prefer a rolling release over a regular release cycle. Partly because some of my (new) hardware is/was not part of the kernel yet, but also because I do not want to do a major update every (x) year. But rolling does come with a higher chance of breaking things. This is why I went with Manjaro. The 2 weeks (or so) of holding back updates -which others seem to see as a problem- I see as an advantage.

I have only been using it for a month now, so far so good. Still learning and getting lost a lot in how it all works. So far I am happy with my choice, we will see how I feel in a year ;) I already made some silly mistakes, like I wanted my /home directory on a separate drive and stupidly thought I needed a 1TB drive for Root as well... lol. Now got this big empty space on one of my drives not sure what to use for. The choice between X11 and Wayland is a touch one, but I stay with X for now. I do have one question though: What is pipewire and should I switch to that?

I recently built a new pc and since I switched from Windows to Lunux (Kubuntu) I got an amd gpu (6700 XT). Because people told me it is less of a hassle than Nvidia. It works fine out of the box, but the choice of drivers confuse me. For gaming is the default amdgpu good enough? Is amdgpu-pro the same as the official Radeon drivers from amd? Are they better for gaming? Is Mesa yet another driver or something in addition to a driver? Why are there no settings/gui anywhere (using the default amdgpu)?

I debated whether or not I should respond to your reply for a few hours now. I just want to point out that everyone is different and have their own circumstances. I recognise you do not know me and know nothing of my circumstances. Mainly because I didn't divulge them because I thought they be irrelevant. But I have a disability which makes it difficult for me to go outside and impossible to travel. My life takes place 90% at home. And while I am mobile and can do other things besides sitting behind a computer, it is my main "escape" from my situation (besides tv, books, etc.) And I am also ashamed to admit I do not have a "shitty wage job" but a "shitty disability income".

I empathise with your existentialism. I have had that my whole life as well. It is the root cause of my depressions. "Funny" thing is, that in my country (not America), psychologists are not trained to deal with such issues. As soon as I bring up the concept and talk about the pointlessness of life they say I am too philosophical and they cannot talk about philosophy. And then they go on about e.g. the "self" and "free will" and "self-control" and "responsibility", and when I then point out to them that those concepts are based on philosophical ideas from the era of enlightenment but never scientifically proven to exist, they defend it by saying it is the "norm", I point out to them that a "norm" is by definition non-inclusive. At which point I am labelled "difficult" and "non-cooperative".

Inclusion is when everyone can be who they are and together you form a community. But that is not how inclusion seems to work in today's world. It seems more to be about 'participation' which is like 'adapt to our way of life so you can join us'. I am 54, and only since the past 7 years have I sought professional help (beyond psychologists, which I have had since I was 15). And in those 7 years I have noticed a disturbing pattern of something I can only describe as victim-blaming. It's like they say "we have methods and systems, if they don't work; well, that's because of you." The system seems built around avoidance of responsibility; pushing consequences down instead of up. They keep moving the goalposts and gaslight when you confront them. I don;t know how to deal with it anymore.

Thanks, I didn't know about ProtonDB. I never play multiplayer so that won't be a problem.

I used linux in the past, both privately and work-related, but the last time was over 10 years ago, so I'm a bit out of touch. I am in need of a new PC, but it'll be a good year before I have the funds, so for now I am making due with an i5 7500 and a gtx 1660. I do have 32 GB so there's that. I finally feel confident enough to make the permanent switch to linux from windows as all of the programs I use are either available on linux or have a good/better equivalent. The only thing I fear will hold me back is games. I know Steam has Proton now which will run most games, but how does it compare? The games I play most are Skyrim (heavily modded) , RDR2, Witcher 3, Transport fever, Civilization, Crusader kings 3 and Cities Skylines (uninstalled atm waiting for 2). I'm on the fence to either wait until I can afford a new PC and dual boot or make the switch now and deal with a few gaming problems. Thing is, what kind of problems may I expect? Anyone able and knowledgeable to give me some advice?

EDIT: Wow, those are a lot of replies; thank you everyone! You really helped me. I will make the switch sooner rather than later.

Ik heb enkele plekken in het buitenland geprobeerd toen ik jonger was, maar ook daar loop je aan tegen het feit dat je toch altijd met anderen te maken hebt (of het nu een overheid is of een militia).

Hoe ik het leven het liefst voor me zie heeft geen makkelijk antwoord (althans niet op een forum als dit). Het ligt ook aan de context (in de huidige wereld of in een ideale wereld?). Mijn uitgangspunt is altijd dat we als mens gewoon een soort (zelf)gedomesticeerde apen zijn. Onze hersenen zijn geëvolueerd om oplossingen te bedenken voor problemen (eten, overleven, voortplanting, ziektes, rampen, enz.) en -zoals anderen al aangeven- behoren we tot een sociale diersoort. In die zin voel ik mij niet thuis in een wereld waarin men niet samenwerkt vanuit het idee dat we allemaal in hetzelfde schuitje zitten en allemaal (binnen een bepaalde bandbreedte) hetzelfde nodig hebben.

Ik heb in mijn werk altijd afgevraagd "lost dit iets op?", "komt het terecht waar het nodig is?" en "benadeeld het een ander?" Als ik een kat langs de weg zie liggen die gewond is dan help ik die, niet omdat het mij iets oplevert of omdat ik er iets voor terug verwacht, maar omdat ik begaan ben met het leed, omdat ik een urgentie voel iets te doen. En ik heb me zo ook altijd opgesteld naar mensen; ik help niet omdat ik iets terug wil of verwacht. En waar ik moeite mee had en heb is dat daar vaak misbruik van wordt gemaakt en dat het omgekeerde niet ook zo is (als ik hulp nodig had moest daar wel altijd iets tegenover staan).

Het heeft me niet bitter gemaakt of kwaad, maar wel afzijdig. En ik herken dat ik net zo min het recht heb om mijn wereldbeeld en ideologie van een ander te verlangen als andersom. Ik geloof ook niet dat een ideale wereld bestaat, maar erger nog geloof ik niet dat een goede wereld bestaat voor iedereen. In alle eerlijkheid had ik liever niet geboren willen worden. Als kind (lagere schooltijd) viel ik 's avonds al huilend in slaap fantaserend over hoe ik alleen in een ruimteschip in de leegte van het universum woonde.

Meer praktisch gezien denk ik dat we een heel stuk zouden komen als we zouden stoppen valse tegenstellingen te creeren. Ik denk niet dat kapitalisme en communisme (bijvoorbeeld) elkaar bijten. Het zijn 2 systemen die elk een oplossing kunnen bieden voor specifieke problemen. In de publieke sector denk ik dat een meer sociaal systeem beter werkt, terwijl in de luxe-sector een meer kapitalistisch systeem beter kan worden toegepast. In productie denk ik dat een technocratische aanpak beter werkt, terwijl in de sociale sector democratie beter is. Nou ja, dat is in allemaal heel kort door de bocht, maar het geeft hopelijk een idee van hoe ik het leven zie en liefst zou zien?

Ik heb zelf in de jaren 90 eens een vrijstaat uitgeroepen. Ik snap deze mensen heel goed. Wel vervelend dat ze blijkbaar rechts-extremistisch zijn. Ik stem altijd links en "mijn vrijstaat" ging vooral over vrijheid en gelijkheid, niet over individualisme. Wat me vooral kwaad maakt in deze rapportage is dat iedereen spreekt over verplichtingen alsof het een natuurverschijnsel is. Onze natuurlijke staat is die van een zoogdier in een natuurlijke omgeving zonder (sociale) constructies. Niemand heeft gevraagd geboren te worden. Regels en wetten zijn uiteraard nodig om een overbevolkte wereld in goede banen te leiden, maar controleer wel even vooraf of een persoon aan die regels en wetten wil en kan voldoen voordat je het door hun strot boort. Feit dat deze beweging bestaat geeft m.i al aan dat het systeem faalt op een heel primair en basaal niveau.
