  • Heyy, I’m too in the process of moving from windows (10) to debian :) (though I’m very new to linux, but not new to open source software)

    I was surprised that notepad++ didnt have native support for linux and while I tried many stuff, indeed I couldnt find a real replacement. I have kinda concluded that I will either use bottles with wine to run notepad++ (takes around half a minute to open) or use Geany and try to customize it as much as I can. (There are also Notepadqq which is kinda dead and NotepadNext which is still in very early stage.) I’ll probably go with Geany and chech on NotepadNext if it evers becomes good enough.

    I had a recent post about running windows stuff on linux and people gave me some good advice here: https://mander.xyz/post/18701186

    Edit: I just found Textadept, might check it later (found it from a comment under this video).










  • Oh, I forgot to mention, I have intel cpu and amd gpu, I will edit it above.

    I am using plasma kde with wayland. I will check pipewire later too probably.

    Thank you for the text editor suggestions :) I have found geany as an alternative, but it has some limitations (multi-window support isnt very good), but notepad++ on bottles opens slowly, so I want to avoid it too. (I also thought about emacs and nvim, but they are kinda scary and probably not for me.)

    As I said in another comment, I will probably try once more to convert to prism.

    Hmm, about proton-ge on lutris, for me lutris only shows wine-ge-proton and lutris versions of wine. Should I install it manually or something?

    Lastly, thanks for the guide! I hadnt found that one.






  • I ~never did and I think it’s a combination of various reasons:

    1. I’m kinda shy (internally I might use a more offensive language, but I might even censor that too). And the fact that I’m not using such language for so long makes it more awkward to use it now.

    2. In my family we probably use less vulgar laguange than the typical one, so I wasnt exposed that much on it (on the contrary, I was exposed to way more uncensored content on the internet and that may be why some vulgar phrases in English seem more natural/normal, while the same ones translated in Greek (my mother language) seem more offensive.

    3. Many times I find it unecessary. I think they’re better used when you’re angry and help you let some steam out, rather than using them in a calm conversation with friends for example (though when others people use them even on me in a friendly way I kinda seem to like it for some reason? I might think we’re close so they feel confident to talk to ke that way?)

    4. Maybe it’s just one of my quirks, lol. I might just do it, for not much reason.

    5. I find many (not all!) of the vulgar phrases to discriminate minorities and people in general. I really dont want to use such words. I dont want to cause harm to innocent people just because I got angry.

    I could probably think more if I spent more time thinking, hm

    Did the decision bring any change to your life ?

    As I said, I dont think I ever used such language, so I dont think there’s a change to talk about. Just some people might notice it and possibly comment about it (usually in good faith?)

    Do you feel the decision stopped you from expressing something at some point ?

    Kinda yes, sometimes I’m in a bad situation and kinda want to, but I dont want those conditions to “break” me. This might not make much sense tho.🤷






  • I might oversetimate, I dont have all the boxes in front of me now to measure. I think I have around 4 boxes though, around 50x30x40cm each, plus some random heaps of books scatterred around…😬

    If you can notice, this size of boxes is very inefficient. An A4 paper is around 30x21cm. If the boxes were slightly bigger, they could fit 4 stacks of A4-sized books. They way they are though only allows for ~2 heaps, leaving a lot of empty space (though they might arent strong enough to support a completely full box). It essentially increases the total used space ~1.5 times.

    I even made my custom box once of “proper” size (to fit 4 stacks of A4 books).

    Also, it’s not just a5 notebooks. About half of the notebooks are a4 and I have many books which I used to take notes from. I try to scan them too, the pages which have notes of mine at least.

    I know, it’s a mess and while I’ve scanned possibly ¼-⅓ of the total mass, I still have a lot more and I create more as time passes.

    I might either buy a scanner with autofeeding or find any place that can properly scan my stuff for cheap.
