Don’t modify the config in /etc/
, copy them in ~/.config/
and then modify them. You’ll always be able to just look at the /etc/
for defaults.

If by editing you mean adding texts (forms) and signing, then Firefox, xournal++, rnote etc.
If you mean changing the pdf content, then libre office draw for textual pdf, inkscape for graphical pdf.
I also just open PDF in text editor (or with qpdf’s qdf format) and edit certain things. I don’t recommend it but due to certain recent events I had to change some font data from PDF and that was the best solution.
System 76 laptop has fingerprint sensor. They don’t say it has one cuz it’s not supported.
And since it’s designed to be used as a tap/scan, and power button only on hard restart/shutdown it’s hard to press to stop it being pressed on fingerprint scan, the hardware not being supported means you have to press the power button a lot instead of fingerprint.
That sounds like too much work, and what if there are clouds. We should make devices that can be calibrated when you’re in a certain location based on their standards and then the device will continue to show that locations’ shadow location without the sun.
Yeah sure, I’ll compile it in my OS. For any other OS, either I’m not knowledgeable about the tools available, and many of them that I am not going to spend money to acquire. If providing the binary a developer compiles for themselves would solve it, we’d not have that problem at all.
I specifically hate when program or libraries are only in compiled form, and then I get an error messages talking about an absolute path it has with some usernames I’ve never seen before, and no way to correct it as there’s no code. Turns out when people pass compiled versions to the OS they don’t use themselves they don’t encounter the errors and think it works fine.
Lol, that’s a fun angle. They don’t need all those fields coz they just get your information the other way
About the malware thing. Won’t the Linux use increasing in organizations give incentive for attackers to make malwares targeting linux? It’s not like we’re malware free, it’s just that average user is informed enough and there is low use of linux making it not worth as much to target desktop users.
Most open source tool have the same thing that it feels like it’s made by engineers. I think that’s because it’s true, most FOSS tools are made by engineers for engineers. Because most project start with someone needing something and then creating it and sharing it.
Chances of a programmer needing something and then making it is a lot higher, than an artist needing it and then making it as then there’d be a need to have the necessary skills to make the software. As someone not from CS field I’ve seen how much of redundant programs are present for CS related tasks while barely some exists for other fields because the overlap of programmer and that field is low specifically FOSS programmers. And a few programmers that field would have don’t have the high level software development skills, so most open source tools made by them are “works on my machine, or works for this specific task” even though with less than 1% more effort they could have made a generalized tool.
