Systemd won’t be done until they port libre office to it dammit!

I never really used its find function. Whenever I searched for something, my first idea would always be to open a shell.

It’s a bit silly since kde spends so much energy indexing stuff though. I really should give it another try.

It certainly worked and was full featured, but the interface wasn’t very good. Having to edit the network interfaces to configure them wasn’t good UI for example (the partition editor works the same way). It also took until my second install (that was quite some time ago) to figure out that I could pick what software I wanted to install.

Anyway, a lot of things could be made clearer for first time users.

Kmail, Thunderbird, Evolution. That’s pretty much it.

There’s always some weird niche client somewhere but it won’t be a hidden gem. Although I guess you can always use Pine (or rather Alpine nowadays) if you want to appear ubergeeky.

Look at the properties of the file in dolphin. It will show you various file signatures checksums.

Isn’t the problem that it’s blocked by a number of patents, or something like that?

Because when there’s a new hardware function, the driver has to add support for it.

It’s a WIMP system. They all work the same way. Worst case you have to click around a bit.

[…] in reality they just know how it works

In my experience, they know how a few utilities and how a handful of programs work, but have no idea how Windows works. Not that many people actually know how Windows works.
Roughly figuring out the boot sequence of Linux is relatively easy once you’ve used it for a year or two. What happens when Windows boots? Who knows? kernel32 probably is involved at some point.

Linux/Unix is actually relatively simple and logical once you’ve figured it out. Windows is a messy dark maze with grues waiting at every corner to eat you.

Install Linux on…

Never mind, carry on.

Easy. Just rip each blu-ray to its own hard drive. It makes filing easier too.

Anything can be Unix if you’re willing to pay for the certification.

Well, it doesn’t find my books. :(

Correction, got it to work.

Next step, unscrambling the books.

Edit: And, done. (there weren’t that many books, 460 in total).

There are other ways of making pdf files, so it all depends on what you want.

What, you can’t set the alpha channel on your text in a pdf?

It would be a side effect, most likely.

So a layer of transparent text wouldn’t work?

I definitely wasn’t in school in 2002.

Ah, school, 2003, that explains a lot.

Looks like a US model. Never heard of it.
