I believe ubuntu doesn’t have it installed by default.

What that reasoning we should install sauerbraten because most people have plenty of hdd space and broadband internet. Better yet, just install all the games so we can relax every now and then between the hard work.

I’m fine with just using the .deb .

I don’t dislike flatpak and it’s good that it exists but I prefer not using it if I don’t have to.

Good on you. I was still watching cartoons in 1996. To be fair I matured very late (if ever).

This. Exactly this.

This command (could have) saved me lots of times, had I known it earlier. So far it has saved me once.

I would like to mention Pixlr E. Which I personally use. I think it’s similar. Works great for someone used to older Photoshop versions (I have no experience with modern Photoshop, mind you).

Isn’t Krita more like an alternative to Adobe Illustrator?

Removing things others tell you not to do. Yes, that sounds familiar. Maybe I should try Arch sometime.

I’ve just finished my current version of my script to change ubuntu around to my liking. At 4:23 in the night/morning. I’m back on ubuntu because I can never seem to get the graphics working just right on other distro’s. There’s always that screen tearing happening whenever I play youtube videos in firefox. But in ubuntu it just works out of the box.

I don’t really have a preference for a specific TE. As long as the default background is black. And not something close to black but not quite. And as long as Ctrl-Shift-V is paste.

Good work!

Sounds interesting. I’ll try that out.

What you mention is similar to NewPipe, isn’t it?

I am currently using InSync on 64-bit devices and Overgrive on 32-bit devices. Overgrive works just fine on 64-bit devices tol but Insync is slightly more userfriendly.

I removed the snap version of firefox as soon as snap started whining it couldn’t update because I was using firefox. And it even seems to start a little faster now that it’s installed through a ppa.

True. I am working on some scripts so I can simply do a fresh install and then it’s all setup the way I like it. Some parts are easy but others a bit more complex. But then I still need to make backups of the important stuff. I kinda use Google Drive for that though it’s not really a backup because all local changes are streamed to it. That will suck in the event of a ransomware attack.

LOL

That and why give away their market share? They have people in a stranglehold because of their incopatibilities with other office clients. Just like they did with Internet Explorer.

Damn Microsoft and their proprietary things they add to office documents…
