Linux is just all around snappier for me than windows is. I never have to wait, but on windows there are always delays opening windows and for some reason it will keep trying to generate thumbnails.
I really hate using windows. I’m a worse worker because of it. I’m just waiting for the m3 Macs to switch.
Sadly, my work stuff does not work on Linux. So I have a second computer for most of my work.
These kinds of diseases are what scare me the most. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

Hijacking the comment to leave a link to the disease.
I would still not recommend it. If the drive fails and data is lost or corrupted it could also be lost or corrupted on the other drive.
It would really be better to use backup software to save your data. Also depending on how the drive is used, it may put less wear on the second drive if you use a backup application.
Don’t use raid for backing up use a backup program instead. I’d recommend vorta or kopia.
I use ext4 for my boot drive as that’s what Linux mint defaults to.
I do not do raids and use btrfs on my other drives.
You can turn on compression on write with btrfs which may reduce the amount of data being read and written to your drive which could further reduce its lifespan.
But you shouldn’t expect the drives to last 10 years.
They might, but don’t expect it and have a backup of whatever is important. Ideally you should have a local backup and a cloud based backup or at least an offsite backup somewhere else.
But can they be sure the nsa is not watching?
I did not consider that. I am surprised that any government even allows Windows to be used.
Thanks, office 365 doesn’t even work.
I’m in the process of converting the files so I’m it dependent on office, but it’s hundreds of files and it needs to be done manually.
Microsoft office on Linux soon, I hope.
I know there are alternatives but my files do not work with them. I use it professionally and truly need Microsoft office… sadly.
I don’t know if anything will come of it. The proton tool is only to let game devs run their game on Mac hardware to evaluate performance.
They are not allowed to sell games using this tech, they need to make a native port of the game.
I think the real solution would be to let them sell their games using this tool. It worked very well for linux, and apple has plenty of money to put into something like this. A lot more than valve does.
Oh in that case. Let me look up an open source tool I’ve used for PDFs before. It might be able to do it.
It’s called pdfsam.
I’m not sure if it can do what you are asking, but I think it will do the trick.
You might be able to use the convert function of ffmpeg to extract the pages as png and then recreate a new pdf from the pngs that were extracted, but this may not work for your specific file.
I forget exactly what I did, but I think I used okukar. It showed the attachments then it just selected them all and copied them to the desktop.
It might have been one of the web browsers, but I’m pretty sure it was okular as i couldn’t do it on windows.
If you have a better solution, please let me know.
Thanks! I’m a fan of him and I’m happy the article pointed out his last movie. That really was a while ago. I’m not familiar with this series, but I’ll check it out for sure.
When I click this link it asked me to download a file.
I’m on iOS.
I thought it was already realeased. I was trying to upgrade last night. I thought 12.1 was the new version.
No wonder it said I had already upgraded 😂😂
What’s the last original thing that has really had an impact on pop culture? There is never anything new. Just the same ideas on repeat.
Can I get a tldr? I’m really out of the loop on this.
I read Madison’s post, but I’m not sure what’s going on with Linus other than that.
