pacman + yay + appman (in cases where appimage is more convenient)

If you need something from AUR, Chaotic AUR builds some of them.

Technically I also use managers for certain languages and environments, so sometimes cargo, pip, luarocks, … whatever.

I did try to use flatpak in the past, but I just found it annoying. If you do not explicitly need it’s capabilities for a certain app it is mostly makes accessing app’s config and data a major annoyance imo.

Yeah, the grey looks great. Just the right ammount, imo.

Try it out with Daggerfall Unity. I heard a lot good about it. There is a way to have Steam still track your playtime with custom launch command.

In my case Tectonic (XeLaTeX with a few quirks, but error messages are actually readable) and Typst are both goto options when I want to write a document.

LaTeX is older and has currently more features. I would generally recommend it for writing serious articles and documents that need hyperref highlights for instance.

Typst still has a lot to catch up when you compare it to LaTeX, but I really like the overall document structure (except the table syntax, but I’ve seen worse) and design choices. In my opiniton, Typst has frendlier tools that just work (Neovim integration is amazing once you figure out the LSP and Tinymist).

Syntactically Typst allows faster typing, so you may use it to write notes directly during lectures.

Math parsing is a bit different, but also tends to be easier to write.

I also like that Typst works with different “elements” than LaTeX. It kinda fells more like HTML and CSS merged into one in terms of control and workflow.

Try brightnessctl. If it does not recognize it, go with some tape I guess.

I mean, trying to implement stuff yourself is great for learning. Only once you are confident enough it is worth contributing.

I am still interested and even found some new things. I completely agree with reading the source code to be the best way to learn.

Here are some other resources I’d consider worth mentioning over here also for anyone reading this in the future:

• a book by Adam Tornhill on C patterns leanpub
• Github repo with pattern implementation Github
• Tsoding Daily Youtube
• Magicalbat Youtube
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4112796/are-there-any-design-patterns-in-c
• Eskill Steenberg Youtube

I do like it, but I have sadly fallen down the tiling wm rabbit hole. It’s too late now.

It has been mostly i3 for me. Not for everyone, but I like the control.

As someone already pointed out, try to increase font size first.

I personally use a Vector layer and put text there (not sure if it even works in paint layer). For making it bigger you can then just grab the corner with Select Shapes Tool and resize it. If it doesn’t work, enable Scale Styles in the Tool Options docker.

I agree that LibreTorrent may be buggy at times but is by far the best tool for torrents on the platform. Also Aria is great, but not as a torrent client, but as a download manager it easily beats most other tools that I’ve used as a replacement of the default mechanism (especially the speed is incomparable, when you can increase number of connections).

I recently tried Yabridge. It still needs a lot of work, but many plugins seem to work well there (if we ignore often broken UI and temporary fixes that aren’t for everyone). Still pretty much WIP, but probably the best way to run plugins.

I am used to using middle mouse button to move canvas in both Krita and Inkscape. I know that it would be a silly default to just use it for movement, but countless missclicks in LibreOffice are reason good enough to be at least ocassionally frustrated over the default.

Checked the repo, there is already an issue open.

With just using git, you can use whatever server you want. Or maybe use git as a base and add support for some additional features for some providers (Github, GitLab, Codeberg/Forgejo, …)?

I have no idea what they’re up to, but I hope they don’t ruin one of the few good free photo editing apps on the PlayStore. I do use Image Toolbox for most of the stuff nowadays, since it’s foss, but the performance on my lower end device just wasn’t great. Good time to try it on there again I guess.

If it doesn’t have to be vector, you may check out Krita. It is very Photoshop-like.

Afaik Inkscape has quite limited use for pressure sensitivity (I found one tool in the app that uses it, and it wasn’t really for me). As long as the device can be used as a pointer it will work at least as one.

Even though freehand strokes seem intuitive, it is often hard to optimize them. If you want clean and as simple paths as possible, just use bezier curves and node tool. This is how I usually do it.

As far as other free(mium) software goes I recall that Apple has its own program that used to go under name Vectornator. It should be called Linearity Curve now. Maybe also chceck Affinity. Those may have better use for pressure.

If you want something for notetaking, look into Xournal++ and Rnote. Xournal++ produces more optimized strokes, while Rnote is newer and has a bit different approach.

Same here.

Also, if you plan to put it inside during the print, try to preheat any metal you want to use. But make sure the heights roughly match, because the plastic will cool slower and distort more.
