Not really, but I switched from Qwerty to Workman years ago, though I can live with Qwerty if I have to when it’s on someone else’s machine.

I use Workman because I found Colemak rather hard to learn, mostly because of the position of S being one over from where it was on Qwerty.

In order for them to be allowed on exams, I ghink they’re required to have a non-QWERTY layout.

Linux (and I think maybe even macOS) can do Ctrl+Shift+U, and then you type the Unicode hex number.

Discord also has an app from Linux - you can get it as a Flatpak (an official one) or as a native package, although they don’t provide a repo for native packages and expect you to manually download a package file every time there is an update.

For the native packages issue, someone created an apt repo on Github, and if you look in the CI routine, you can tell they’re using the official Discord packages and not modifying them.

Honestly, I should probably be sandboxing it more.

It’s annoying to use a proprietary service, but the This Might Be a Wiki community is rather enjoyable.

It’s not just packages. Ubuntu performance is terrible - it runs so much worse than other distros in VM. I don’t know about spins, but main Ubuntu takes 30 seconds to respond to some button presses whereas it’s nearly instant in other GNOME-using distros given equal or less resources.

Can you give more info about what you tried (commands, GUIS, etc)? What does it say when it denies your request?

Also, timezones usually go by cities - I for instance, I’m on AZ time as well, and the time zone for me is called America/Phoenix.

OP explicitly said Mint isn’t what they’re looking for.

I think my very first exposure to Linux was when I got a Pi 3 for Christmas when I was 10; by next year, I was trying out Ubuntu 16.04 in a VM.

However, it took several years before I began daily-driving; I had thrown it on an old laptop during my sophomore year of high school that I mostly used from the couch.

I then did a “test install” of Debian Testing on my main desktop pater that year, which just became what I used every day and quickly just became my main operating system.

I soon installed it on everything else I owned and haven’t looked back.

Exciting, as always. I just hope they can eventually add CMYK support.

I get color spaces are hard and there are workarounds involving Scribus, but I wonder if one could just have a custom SVG attribute that would be ignored by a standard SVG renderer (we’d have a similar placeholder RGB color, which we maybe would allow to be manually modified) and read by Inkscape when rendering to a format for print like PDF.

I find that a bit funny - most people find it the other way around. In fact, coming from Illustrator, I found it easier in a lot of ways.

I think 3.0 is big just for finally adding some non-destructive editing.

I feel like 3.0 was a big step - we finally got non-destructive editing on most filters.

Still, the resize GUI drives me nuts, and Resynthesizer should just be a brush in the default install at this point, perhaps with greater optimization.

Stares in Debian Testing/Sid.

What’s the driver bug? Chances are I can’t help unless it’s one very specific one, but I figured I’d ask.

I’m personally a fan of Debian. Default KDE isn’t bad looking from what I can remember (I personally don’t use it - I neither hate or love it just because I love XFCE). I’m personally a big XFCE fan, but you do have to do some work to get it working good, and there are still jank parts here and there.

While no distro is completely set and forget, I think Debian Stable is as close as you can get. Once you install it and get it working the way you want (depending on your setup, you might encounter minor issues as with any distro), it will pretty much stay that way until you upgrade to the next version, and you can go up to 5 years before upgrading.

I would recommend you use the KDE (or whatever DE you want) live installer, though, as the default installer is quite unintuitive. You can find it in the list of installers at https://www.debian.org/distrib/.

I’ve never used Kubuntu specifically, but I would personally avoid Ubuntu these days if just because of Snaps. Also, Ubuntu is heavily bloated - base Ubuntu is almost unusable in a VM now, while vanilla GNOME and PopOS run well in VMs on the same machine. Personally, when I need to test Ubuntu builds, I always prefer working with PopOS.

Overall, I’d say if you don’t end up using Debian (I don’t blame you - while I like it, you might not), just please don’t use anything Ubuntu-based that isn’t Mint or PopOS.

Personally, I dislike Zorin, but I can see your point. I didn’t know it was Zorin at the time I I just find paywalling some FOSS stuff that isn’t entirely yours very weird, and I also don’t think users should touch almost anything Ubuntu-based, especially new ones. Mint might be the exception, but it’s not to my tastes as well personally.

I think I agree with my university’s Linux Users Group recommendation of Fedora, though I personally use Debian.

Honestly, if Debian would tidy up their website, make the Calamares-based installers the default, and perhaps had an installer with backports kernel built-in, it could be the easiest distro out there - I think everything else in Debian is almost perfect for most people. They don’t even have to compromise on all that “universal operating system” stuff - they could just offer multiple installers. As for the website, I can get why they need to use a static site with HTML4, but that shouldn’t stop them from designing a simple-to-use website.

Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.

From what I can tell, OBS has an “Output Timer” setting that might be able to do the trick for you - just set the tape length and you should be good to go.

As others have said, there usually is no such thing, and if there is, your distro is probably practically a scam and you should find another.

What distro are you running?

Some legitimate distros may have extra support available for a cost, but that just means support, not extra features. Also, they sometimes have things like live patching, but that really is more an enterprise grade feature.

Weird. I don’t have this problem on my laptop or desktop; both use AMD GPUs.

Incorrect, actually. Firefox for Android uses Gecko like the desktop version, while the iOS version is stuck with WebKit.
