Termux has no special rights

Thanks I didn't know about the app!

Accrescent is alright. Fdroid with reproducible builds is the best of course

Sure but with typst there's no rason for me to use latex any more.

Just in case you are not aware of typst, there's a modern version of latex called typst. It may not yet have all features but if you can live with >90%, I'd switch immediately

Edit: termux can run typst

You change the text? That's only on the user side, right?

An excel sheet? ...

Wow! Kudos! That's a milestone

In some languages that's not a minor thing because of the gender. I mean that's a problem of the language which should improve but for now you have to use the gender for good communication

That sounds cool! Is there already a release? If not, don't rush it :)

Edit: never mind. I just saw the website 😅

You can create a ublue version in a few hours if you're down to it. Creating an inage isn't that difficult 👍🏼

You can't easilyy switch between different inages like on an atomic fedora system.

Do you have to switch now? No.

How does that relate to my comment?

Where can I buy linux stickers?

Probably, I'd like to get some red hat stickers. Tux is too sweet and fedora is just white and blue. A red hat is more striking.

is there a routing app/ service for canoes?

Edit: I ended up using brouter or osmand depending on the task.

is there a bookmark manager like jabref for linux url bookmarks?

I use Jabref for papers and books. I group and rate them and keep track of reading status. There are a lot of websites that also provide valuable information but firefox' bookmark manager can't be used to rate sites or make comments. I can manually add links which is cumbersome.

Is there a similar tool like jabref for internet links?

In the optimal case it would take firefox' bookmarks and work with them such that I can bookmark a site with Ctrl+D and do all the site related work within that manager.

edit: Bonus, if it automatically fetches the article to preserve it

 

I want to install a package, I lookup for the package here https://search.nixos.org/packages? I can find multiple versions. two that sound right, two sound like rubbish and one is a plugin for something. How do I decide which of the two good sounding packages I should choose? What if the package or even both not work? How do I know that it is up to date? How do I know that it will be updated in a timely manner? Can I update it?

 

I found this SQL style guide which looks good. I'm not a pro at SQL but it looks good to me. I mean, you use the style guide your boss wants you to use, or what all others use, but what if you could choose?

Today, I wanted to have another go with nix. Previously I just read about it and didn't do anything for a couple of months. Now, I installed nix package manager with very few lines of code and two more to install many packages as described in his post. Installation was very fast on my banana laptop. Until now I used distrobox but I always wondered which distro/ package manager to use. What's your experience with it? For now, I'll test it. It's super easy to use. It may not be straight forward to a linux newcomer but if you know what you want, e.g. ffmpeg you can just add it with home-manager edit and install it with home-manager switch. So far, I love it!

 

I wonder if there is a nptocable difference between a HDD and SSD. Did someone already test it? I run it off a good SSD but wonder if a HDD would be enough.
