Regardless of how you interpret the statistics, I think that this is a sign that the long vexed problem of software distribution for Linux has been significantly improved. Not quite solved, but for most desktop apps this is fantastic news.

I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?

This is slightly unrelated, but I’ve been slowly moving to Linux from windows for a while. I haven’t made the full plunge yet, but here’s my biggest strategy:

Use as many apps on windows as you can on Linux.

I’m using Okular, Ghostwriter, Libreoffice, Cider, etc. every month or so, another app is moved across.

Then, I make the switch and all my apps are there as I’m used to them.

Apparently grindr etc are banned in the athletes village. They’ll just have to do it the old fashioned way.

Needs collab features somehow 🥲

Thanks for this one! I’ll be giving it a go in my next project

I wrote my thesis in LaTeX, which is very unusual for my discipline. Now that I’m done with that, everything we’re doing it’s collaborative Word docs. Collaboration features in 365 have been transformative. (Remembering the dark old days of emailing the Word doc around like a hot potato.)

I’m very used to Word and can get it to do some great stuff that most people don’t even know about, but I wouldn’t touch it for something over 20,000 words.

As for LaTeX, I was fine once I got a good template going. Writing one sentence per line is a fantastic way to draft. But there are some fine tuning things that I remember took up a lot of time that I would have had no problem fixing in Word. I distinctly remember trying to get tables to look right when you had paragraphs or dot points in cells.

Oh, and that one reference whose URL refused to break in the line and instead just went off the page. I never found a fix for that.

Go to overleaf.com and say goodbye to a chunk of your weekend. 😉

I often use fields, so I have to go back to desktop Word eventually to add them in. 🥲

Users only use a fraction of the feature set but everyone uses a different fraction 😂

How good are VMs at booting a physical partition?

We need more browser engines, especially those that are under NFP ownership. WebKit and Chromium have become too dominant.

I’ve had success with Focalboard and noticed nobody is using it here! Should I look at alternatives?

YouTube awareness ads some dystopian black mirror shit

Me: how many applications have you got installed? SimplyMepis: Yes.

Wasn’t the point of IPv6 to remove the need for CGNAT?

Confidential projects, etc. amirite?

Ooh will try thanks for the heads up!

Reading pages out loud has been an unexpected hit for me on the latest iOS. I’d love this in Firefox too.

Stranger Planet

I love the tiling interface. I haven’t touched it since they decided to start developing COSMIC though.

I’m gonna wait until they get everything up to date before I use it again.
