Great release.

However I’m still waiting for snapping/alignment/distribution to be usable. Right now, some things override others (even when holding a modifier to constrain node to an axis, it will snap to things that are not aligned with the axis), and because of visual vs geometric bounding box when resizing things it will snap to align with other shapes but when you let go of LMB, the object won’t be aligned anyway (so what was the point of snapping in the first place).

Also sometimes things will snap to a guideline from a mile away, when things I’m trying to move are nowhere close to a guideline.

I’m coming drom other software (specifically, Corel Draw) and understand it’s not fair to compare different tools and demand from one to mimic the other, especially when Inkscape is FOSS and Corel Draw is a commercial product made by paid developers. And you could also say most of thongs I’m complaining about are muscle memory things because I’ve been using Corel for years and need to let go of old habits and get used to Inkscape if I want to switch to it rather than demand Inkscape to be more Corel like.

But I still believe Corel does some things just right. I pretty much never needed to turn off snapping in Corel and “it just worked”™, objects would never snap to a guide on the other side of the screen and constrained nodes (when holding Shift) would still both be constrained to axis and snap to objects, meaning it snaps on the intersection of the other object and the axis I’m moving along.

Also if I’m resizing a box and the edge snaps to a guide, when I let go, in Corel the edge of the box will 100% be alogned with the guide, unlike in Inkscape.

I’m pretty sure some of these issues are because of Geometric vs Visual bounding box differences, and it’s good we can at least choose between the two: Corel can’t even deal with visual bounding boxes IIRC. You work with geometric bounding box only.

I thing adding the toggle somewhere in the toolbar would be a great thing so that we don’t have to go into the menu and find it every time, maybe even a hotkey to toggle between the two.

No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

Modern UIs suck in general, be it FOSS or not FOSS. The “slick” and “minimal” apple style interfaces are just a mess of monochrome icons all over the place.

Yes, I’m ranting.

I’d say there’s nothing ridiculous in expecting FOSS thing to be as good as non FOSS, both are made by human after all, yes more work is done by paid developers than by enthusiasts, but there’s nothing impossible about FOSS software being as good as non FOSS.

What’s ridiculous is that people expect one software to behave the same as other software when the FOSS software does not imply in any way that it is a clone of a proprietary software and that it strives to behave the same way / be a direct replacemen. Like, yes, Inkscape is a great vector editor, but noone says it’s an Illustrator clone. You can ditch Illustrator and use Inkscape, but it isn’t a direct replacement, stuff will be different.

There are “free clones”, like double Commander is a clone of Total Commander, and in this case it is valid to expect one to behave exactly like another.

To be honest I can’t give any answer, but I tried Paisa and it felt sketchy, so I decided to use GNUCash.

For some reason benchmarks won’t load on my device.

Could anyone please upload the images somewhere else?

Could you please explain how is ricing racist?

JXL.

I’m trying to tinker with my system and replace a perfectly good and well optimized default kernel for some kernel made for specific niche use cases and I don’t see any performance increase. Why would it be?

Yes, surprisingly the default kernel is optimized well rather than just being a badly written placeholder that users should manually replace for their system to become usable.

It’s 2025 and stuff is designed to just work out of the box.

But it’s used in PES (Passenger Entertainment Systems) at least.

I use compose key sequences to save time writing out long email addresses. For example, I have something like this in my ~/.XCompose:

<Multi_key> <b> <o> <s> <at>: "myangryboss@company.com" # Email of my very angry boss

So I can just type Compose (right alt on my system), bos@ and get his email address. Less error prone than typing out emails manually.

I’m probably not the only one to use compose strings as a replacement to a text expander, but I don’t know anyone else who does this.

Is KDE 3 so bad that people only prefer <3 or >3, but never =3?

For working with PDFs on a page level (moving pages around, deleting, copying pages between PDFs etc) pdfarranger is the best and easiest of anything I could find, can vouch for 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?

Also pastry.
