  • Honestly, Linux has progressed immensely the past decade and I only read documentation when setting up servers these days. I’m mostly an Arch derivative desktop user but I still love Debian on the server side.

    The Debian specific stuff are usually in the service description (email, web, ssh servers), and they are quite nice.




  • I really wish I could recommend Libreoffice but I have mixed experiences with it. Spreadsheet is really good, I can only praise it. Writer is fine for basic documents but I gave up updating my CV with it - too frustrating. Impress is so far from PowerPoint that I recommend finding an alternative.











  • It’s been a bumpy road. I have strong memories of Gnome devs explaining to users how wrong they were to dislike Nautilus’s awful spatial mode. And when that guy refused to implement a switch off option because users were wrong to ask for it.

    Now really, it’s quite functional once you’ve tweaked with gnome-tools and added vital extensions. You also have to remember useless stuff such as “Video” means “Totem”. I’ll just never understand why they don’t really care about sane defaults.
