It’s not like I want to argue, generally curious. What does Excel do that Calc doesn’t?
I work with text a lot, so I’m good with Writer (or Word), but I rarely do anything advanced in Calc or Excel, for basic stuff Calc is fine. I really don’t know enough to compare the two.
their preferred office suite
Usually it’s not “their preferred office suite” but “office suite they are forces to use at work”. MS Office usage is high because of network effect, not because any other office suite is worse.
I use LO Writer for any document I write (or work with) myself and it’s perfectly fine. The only reason I keep MS Office is that I need to work on documents other people write (or need to work with).
Of course there are people who actually prefer MS Office, but it’s similar to Windows itself: most people did not choose it, they either don’t know there is an alternative or are forced to use it for compatibility reasons (at work). It’s rare that anyone actually “prefers” MS software.
Also ghfs (go http file server).
Can someone explain why every single “distro selection guide” lists Arch as a distro for advanced users?
It’s gonna break bookmarks, if this is not important then yes, Draw could work for relatively simple edits. Depends a lot on the file itself.
Easier said than done.
Slightly OT, but PDF Xchange Editor works great under wine, and tbh I think it’s miles ahead of Acrobat in terms of features.
What’s the “BDS” list? Never heard of it.
I think we had one already, it was called OpenKeyChain or something? How is this one different?
Can you set up docker in a way that it does not mess with my firewall?
You see, this is an issue for me because I don’t want my ports “automagically” being open, I want to know exactly which ports are in use and by which apps, I don’t want package manager to manage my ports. I know this sounds “old school” but I prefer to control my ports manually and I don’t want my iptables rules be a mess I can’t understand.
Maybe that’s more of a “me” issue than a docker issue, but anyway, I prefer to not use such software.
So, how do I use iptables to open ports for docker apps? Usually I install a thing that requires for example port 8080, and I open the port 8080. Does docker respect iptables?
Yes but the app in OP clearly states it’s not meant to be open to the internet, it’s just a booru with web UI to be used on localhost. So it kinda has nothing to do with self hosting in a regular sense, why docker?
Because I don’t like docker. It’s one more abstraction layer that I don’t understand, going to spend time learning how to use it, need to maintain it, it’s gonna take up space on my SSD etc.
Same for flatpak, snap etc.
One developer thinks flatpak is the latest shiny hype thing ans releases his software as a flatpak. The other does snap. Third one prefers docker. Fourth one maybe something else.
I don’t want to maintain this zoo of package managers on my desktop and think about “wait, was this app a docker or a flatpak, how do I update it?”. I want to sudo apt install everything because that’s the default package manager for my distro and I expect all the software to be in a repo that works with it.
Not to sound entitled or anything, it’s just natural to not want to use docker imho.
Looks nice, can this work without docker?
It depends.
Have you tried GNU Cash?
Idk what is “kitchenowl”, but yesterday I had a situation where I need to create a github issue (well, I needed a software developer know about something, and the software is only hosted on github).
I created a new github account, created an issue, logged out and saw that my issue isn’t there. Turns out my account was flagged. I tried to reach support, but github asks to enable 2FA for this. Added an authenticator.
Turns out, you still can’t reach github support until you add and verify a phone number via SMS. No way I’m giving away my phone number to microsoft.
So, it’s not possible to reach the support, there is no email address, and I can’t create issues. What a joke. I wish people in FOSS community stopped using github.
In the end, I just found the dev’s email address and sent them an email.
I like inkscape but snapping is terrible. In corel I just drag whatever I need with my mouse and it just snaps to where I need it to be. I always thought this is fairly simple and standard but when I tried snapping in Inkscape, it always tries to snap to something on the other half of the document.
I need to constantly change snapping options to make it work whereas in corel I enabled all the options, set and forget thing, it just does what I want every time, as if it’s reading my mind, without the need to toggle snapping options every time.
I’d say the stopping thing is a few multiplayer PvP games with anticheat, also some software that won’t work in Wine (adobe products, corel products, microsoft products).
Yes, I know alternatives exist (Krita, Inkscape, LibreOffice). No, they are not 100% drop-in replacements. I for myself love working in LibreOffice Writer, but when you work in a place where everyone except you uses MS Word and expects DOCX files, you can’t “just” switch to linux without issue.
For which major OS there’s no XMPP client?
