Okular has no tripple click for whole line selection.

Other than that, setting up digitally signing with Okular never worked for me. Do you have a guide that worked for you?

Digitally sign a PDF with a couple of clicks.

So far, I have spent about 6 hours (sporadically over the past 3 years) trying to set up a way to do this, yet ultimately it didn't ever work at all. And every time I end up using some online third party service just to get it over with.

I did it on Windows once and the setup was a simple 5 step wizard. After which digitally signing a document just works with a couple of clicks.

Bonus round:

• on Linux there is only one PDF viewer that implements tripple click for selecting a whole line AND can invert the colors of the document (which helps some partially blind users). That viewer is Atril and it has no way of even attempting to digitally sign a PDF. As soon as you want to do the signing, you lose those one of the two features and people with impairments can't do their work properly.

• the screen readers have voices from the 90s and setting up anything modern with them is above my skill grade - as again, I fucked with it for days and didn't manage to get a natural sounding voice to work. On Windows it is way simpler, including working well for mixed language documents - for example German text with technical terms in english or latin.

My point is not about seperation, but about conscent.

If you come to me at work and ask "Can I tell you something work unrelated, that might interest you?" then I have the option to choose.

Maybe at the moment I am stressed, or doing some heavy mental lifting and don't want any distractions - then I can decline and not be force educated on some topic.

Maybe on another day I have a free mind and not much to do - then I can accept and listen to it and potentially find it interesting and worthwhile to try out.

An email leaves no such choise and thus the message could be not only unwanted but also anniying.

I'd say in general, suggestions only work, when the other party is receptive to it and may do the opposite if they are unwillingly shoved down the recipients brain.

I am the last person to have anything against libre software, but if I'd see that preachy line in a work email I'd roll my eyes and groan.

I don't mean to be rude or shut down your idea, but I think recommendations like these need to be appropriate to the situation for them to have any effect - instead of being blasted per email at the "wrong time".

I feel like a generic work email, especially if the topic is not even related to software, is the "wrong time", because I'd hate spending my work attention on somebody's oppinion (even if I agree with the opinion) and I can't see that it is not work related until I have read it and understood the meaning. Which would be quite an anniying situation for me personally.

Cheers!

I use portmaster

Try the tldr util on linux.

I use easyeffects for noise cancelling on my mic, and then use what comes out of easyeffects in any other program.

netcup and contabo each have the cheapest VPS option in certain specc constelations.

Even more so if you can wait until black friday or christmas, since they both regularely offer huge VPS deals.

There is a website to check which hardware is supported (on which distro). You can look up your laptop there, but beware that it is crowdsourced, so there might have been tinkering involved before submitting the results or the results may be outdated.

Click on "probe your computer" then check the results to see what your current setup supports.

Most of the junk accumulates in /home and I did a cleaning once, where I got rid of a couple hundred GB there, from stuff that was either already uninstalled or still installed but unused for years.

In the other root directories, I didn't find much tbh. My / (excluding home) takes up 40GB and I don't think it was significantly lower years ago as the bulk of it comes from necessary program files.

Now actually use it for a couple of years. Then you'll see whats special about it.

For me personally, Ubuntu was breaking on every dist upgrade, the software was always out of date or not available in the repos. Been running arch for 5 years, same install, even transplanted it over to newer computers without issues. When some package is missing, I can throw together a PKGBUILD with chatgpt and put it on the AUR for others to use. It fucking rocks and is extremely sturdy while allowing me to do with it whatever I want.

But yeah, besides that, it's just a linux. The individual things it does well are not even exclusive to arch. Ideally, you should not think about your OS at all and it should be out of your way, while you do something on it.
