To be honest I can’t give any answer, but I tried Paisa and it felt sketchy, so I decided to use GNUCash.

For some reason benchmarks won’t load on my device.

Could anyone please upload the images somewhere else?

Could you please explain how is ricing racist?

JXL.

I’m trying to tinker with my system and replace a perfectly good and well optimized default kernel for some kernel made for specific niche use cases and I don’t see any performance increase. Why would it be?

Yes, surprisingly the default kernel is optimized well rather than just being a badly written placeholder that users should manually replace for their system to become usable.

It’s 2025 and stuff is designed to just work out of the box.

But it’s used in PES (Passenger Entertainment Systems) at least.

This sounds new to me and I’m curious, how does this menu fit in a small window if it has many options? Is it horizontally scrollable somehow? Does it block the user from making a window smaller than the width of all menu options?

Just for anyone who might be interested, to have normal menubar in LibreOffice one needs to search for background services in kickoff (or any alternative) and turn off Application menus daemon.

I was going crazy without the menubar. I wish there was an easy way to choose how menubars are displayed in KDE Settings: turned off completely, classic (below titilebar of each window), global (available via global app menu widget or plasmoid), or in a titlebar button that looks like a hamburger button. Also an option to invoke / show the menu via a hotkey (like Alt, I think Firefox does this).

Even better, have this per application or per window using window rules.

Currently app menus are a mess, unfortunately.

I might be wrong here, but looks like KDE devs think of app menus as something unused and outdated, something takes up screen space, and tries to find a workaround to save that space (global menus, titlebar app menu bar etc) but for some software (like LibreOffice) I think menubars are essential, and still want to have them permanently.

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I’d follow him.

If I wanted to see someone’s tweets all day, I’d be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.

I use compose key sequences to save time writing out long email addresses. For example, I have something like this in my ~/.XCompose:

<Multi_key> <b> <o> <s> <at>: "myangryboss@company.com" # Email of my very angry boss

So I can just type Compose (right alt on my system), bos@ and get his email address. Less error prone than typing out emails manually.

I’m probably not the only one to use compose strings as a replacement to a text expander, but I don’t know anyone else who does this.

Hey, QR Scanner you linked is pretty good. Even has the option to share contacts into the app to generate QR code for them, which is something not every QR app can do well.

Thanks for the recommendation, I think I’ll use this now.

Is KDE 3 so bad that people only prefer <3 or >3, but never =3?

Is there a way to use this as a drop in replacement easily? Like maybe move my Thunderbird profile folder into a Bettterbord folder, or maybe an automatic import option?

This looks promising but I don’t really want to set up my email accounts and settings from scratch.

Probably true, it depends. There are Steam folks and then there are GOG folks.

I prefer GOG tbh because it’s DRM free, but for some games I still need Steam, unfortunately.

It’s actually surprising how easy it is to use.

My wife was playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on her windows laptop (GOG version, DRM free) and I just wanted to see if I can run it on my Linux laptop.

Just copied the game folder from her laptop to my external SSD, plugged it into my laptop, ran through proton. Everything works without any issues. Simple as that.

I was pleasantly surprised. We could even join via LAN and had some co-op fun. After trying it out I think I’m buying the game.

Or libreoffice draw sometimes, it depends, but yes, pdfarranger + one of the two is enough for most of the tasks.

I convert from docx to md specifically with the purpose of getting rid of Microsoft formatting aka almost converting to plaintext but preserve at least some structure.

For working with PDFs on a page level (moving pages around, deleting, copying pages between PDFs etc) pdfarranger is the best and easiest of anything I could find, can vouch for it.

I’ve heard of Junction but don’t remember why I chose not to use it, possibly it’s too big in size or something compared to Braus.

True, Braus is pretty limited.

On android you better stick to UTC Check, as this other user says:

I’ve been using it since forever and loving it.
