As other have said, a combination of Firefox PDF tool, PDF Arranger and Xournal++ is all I’ve ever needed. And Okular is nowadays my viewer of choice, which does a lot on its own, too.

KDE.

BioShock.

It would be easier to just try the live systems (booting from USB).

Changed to Cinnamon (Linux Mint) after GNOME 3 and Ubuntu’s Unity went bonkers, then changed to KDE Plasma some years ago.

I think KDE is constantly working to improve the desktop paradigm. GNOME tried to change the paradigm… I didn’t like what I saw. I’m too old to learn new tricks.

When they’re ready.

It rhymes. In a bad way.

KDE. Because of its simplicity. Unsarcastically.

The 2020s are not over. Not even half ways.

Short answer: yes, and that’s a good thing.

Slightly longer answer: it’s a sign of maturity for the most popular distributions and of the platforms at large. Innovation tends to happen in the fringes. Being it free software, someone can always fork the software and add their new ideas to the mix.

Nowadays I’m trying omnivore.app, also Feeder on Android and Pocket for good measure.

Windows.

Manjaro/KDE/Plasma

I don’t use Wayland. I can. I’ve tried, but I went back to X. On Wayland, when I take a Firefox tab out of a window to make it it’s own window, there’s a pause of over a second until the new window appears. It drives me crazy every time. On X it’s instantaneous.

I don’t use two monitors, I don’t use Nvidia. For everything else I use my computer for, I haven’t found an advantage of using Wayland over X. So, I’ll stay on X until I’m forced to change, I guess.

Sayonara.

Nowadays KDE.

Why?

Usually they update automatically. I have AppImage integration and most packages tell me of newer versions.

Because it’s better.

Because it’s open source.

Because it’s not based on Chromium and competition is good.

And also because TabStash.

I’m grateful to be able to use AppImages for everything that’s not in the repos or for anything that I need updated as soon as upstream updates. So far it has worked seamlessly. It’s the most user friendly solution of the lot and I don’t need sandboxing.
