that makes sense

Linux Mint is a nice and easy distro that is quite good :D

A new german democratic republic? Only kidding, that looks pretty interesting.

I AM INTERESTED

VSCodium supports syncing settings the same way VSCode does :D

alternatively, you could probably just copy the settings.json

MS Office isn’t better than LibreOffice and OnlyOffice, they all do the same task of making docs, spreadsheets, and presentations with very similar UI. It’s a no brainer to use the one that doesn’t bug you to use OneDrive.

Linux gaming has come a long way, especially with the introduction of things like Proton and popularisation of it by the Steam Deck. If you can play games on the Steam Deck, those games run on Linux :D

The main reasons (mind you, not only reasons) why people don’t just switch to Linux is:

• it’s different (humans naturally gravitate towards things they are familiar with)
• partly because Linux has a few things that are unintuitive to the average user (e.g. using terminal), but distros like Mint have mostly solved this issue
• Switching itself is really annoying (I would say I’m in this boat, but I’ve installed Linux on my old computers and will definitely do it again if I ever get a new computer)

FOSS software is great :D

I would also suggest VSCodium as basically VSCode without MS’s telemetry. The only actual downside is that a few proprietary extensions don’t work (most notably the MS ones)

fun

oh interesting, I didn’t know that gaming mice brands allowed third-party software. Will have to check that out!

no, when I make a line it makes a weird elipse shape instead of a line. Having no fill makes it go invisible, so I think inkscape thinks I’m making a polygon

yep, they are catching up with GD 4.0 :D

youtrack? Might have to check that out

with Microsoft’s funding and manpower they can certainly make a better sync app, they simply choose not to. iCloud isn’t much better with only 5GB of free storage and is to iOS as Office 365/OneDrive/an MS account is to Windows. pCloud and IceDrive, despite not being the most profitable company in the present day, both are able to offer 10GB (pCloud annoyingly needs referrals to get up to that, but still)

for me, the two issues you have are sort of solved by:

1. Firefox Colour (never really noticed the first issue since I always have a colourful theme)
2. I don’t use the sidebar so never had that issue either. (but maybe the forgetting sessions is some sort of privacy thing? who knows?)

I change the position of the UI to be where er :D

my god there’s so many different FOSS screenshot tools

for windows, I also like SumatraPDF

it also has a fun name :D

That’s why nowadays, I use Joplin for quick notes (where folder structure doesn’t matter) and Obsidian (unfortunately closed-sourced) for larger collections where it does matter, I have to try alternatives like trilium soon, but Obsidian is just really good. NB seems interesting, I might have to try that as well

I would say my limited experience with kdenlive has been really good, very easy to use vs something like premiere pro and resolve.
