Sometimes I think that I miss skeuomorphism, but then I realize it's not the skeuomorphism that I miss, but my childhood and days when the world was much simpler.

Would I like to bring back skeuomorphic UIs? Yes.

Is it not available to download yet?

This is the fairly known thing, I'm amazed you never heard of it.

Extend, Embrace…

What next? Extinguish?

Heh, let them try.

Slightly off topic but after years of using CorelDraw it's so hard to pick up inkscape.

I use Linux on my home laptop now and try to use FOSS software on work laptop (it's still Windows 10), and I try to stay with Inkscape as much as possible, but some things are just muscle memory at this point and some workflows can't be replicated with Inkscape.

It's not hard to change software, it's hard to chage habits and workflows.

Other than that, Inkscape is great software, only missing a few features I wish were there, and having many more features that CorelDraw doesn't have.

Also, in MIUI/HyperOS it's simply not possible to have gesture navigation and a third party launcher.

My thought as well. Maybe sync was in default configuration or I just copy pasted it without reading.

Long story short, I have no idea if system user passwords and sama user passwords are the same thing, how to set them up (if they are not the same), or how to make samba use same user accounts and passwords (so that I don't have to remember one more password). So I just gave up.

I was trying to do everything according to arch wiki, but either samba is overcomplicated for no reason, or the article is just not written well.

Just my experience, I was unable to log in after trying to add samba to my installation. Had to boot into live usb and reset my password.

Maube I'm just bad and it's not samba.

If you install yt-dlp and make a script for downloading, then users drag and drop a link onto the script on their desktop, is this «GUI» enough to be used?

Can it store its data in a user selected folder?

Is it like show formatting marks / show hidden symbols in modern software, that shows ends of paragrahs and tabs?

Seriously, what's with that tunnel vision on snaps?

 

Basically, title. What I'm trying to do is: have each chapter start with page 1. My chapters are marked as Heading 1 paragraphs. If I change Heading 1 style to «Insert, Pagea break, Before, With default page style, Page number 1», and add a Heading 1 paragraph, it indeed inserts an automatic page break before itself and starts on a new page with default page style, but page number is not set to 1: the numbering continues from previous chapter.

If I do Ctrl+Enter and set the exact same settings to a manual page break, the new page will start from a page number 1. The problem with this is that I would prefer to not do this manually, it is error prone, easy to forget or mess up, and in general I want to set up my styles so that everything is handled automatically without any direct/manual formatting.

Can anyone reproduce this issue?

 

Didn't want to make title too long, sorry. By load back I mean read from clipboard or from a file or have an input box to paste from clipboard a lost of URLs and open each in a tab.

On my phone (it's a MIUI device) firefox sometimes acts weird, I can see URL in a tab but page looks empty. I can copy the URL manually, close the tab, open a new one, but this can be annoying if I have many tabs and this also changes the tab order.

Also, no, I can't just close firefox and open it again, as I mostly use firefox in private mode.

I just want to copy all open URLs, restart firefox, and open all my tabs in private mode again in the same order by pasting URLs back.

Also, android aften kills my firefox when it's in the backgroind without any warning.

Last time I searched, I couldn't find any such addons, but it's possible that I used wrong keywords.

 

This probably was asked countless times already, but given the amount of possible combinations of all the hardware and software, this is probably not surprising.

So, I do have some experience with linux. I ssh into my ubuntu server a lot, I do many bash/terminal tricks, so can't really call myself a newbie in Linux. However, for gaming I would use Windows for as long as I remember myself. With the release of KDE Plasma 6 and Vulkan support getting better, I was thinking about giving it a go, but I'm stuck.

When launching a game that natively supports linux (Dota 2) from Steam, pretty much nothing happens. I see in terminal that there are some errors, but archwiki states that this is normal:

Wrong ELF class

If you see this message in Steam's console output

ERROR: ld.so: object '~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

you can safely ignore it. It is not really any error: Steam includes both 64- and 32-bit versions of some libraries and only one version will load successfully. This "error" is displayed even when Steam (and the in-game overlay) is working perfectly.

Other than that I see no errors or anything.

I'm running Arch linux with KDE Plasma 6.0.1, with default Wayland session. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 with NVIDIA GPU and I guess also Intel integrated video card. Here are the details:

I have no idea honestly about which driver I have installed, but I did install nvidia package. I'm not sure if it's being used. I also don't know anything about Mesa. Also, this is from my Info Center:

I don't even know what is Xwayland and why I have it installed, probably some dependency of KDE.

At this point I'm not even sure what I'm using (is it pure wayland, or x11, or some hybrid of using both), if I have correct GPU drivers (do I have correct drivers for just one of the two video cards, for both, or none at all), if my NVIDIA GPU is even working, if it's being used to run a game or not, and if I have all necessary packages to run Vulkan.

At this point, how do I troubleshoot all of this mess?
