So it’s only browser-based? No download, no installation to local machine? Or did I miss something?

Sorry, but NO. Scribus is a page layout app. It is not intended for image creation/manipulation. That is truly using a shoe for hammer, or a hammer for a screwdriver or a screwdriver for a butter knife.

You can use Word for page layout or image manipulation too. Again, screwdriver for a butter knife. Right tool for the job and all.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Again? Isn’t this the third time or something? Then Microsoft comes along with a briefcase of Euros and the “problem” goes away. Sombody please correct me if I’m mis-remembering.

Yes, Munich, thank you! 👍

Rectangle for Linux?

To preface this, I’ve used Linux from the CLI for the better part of 15 years. I’m a software engineer and my personal projects are almost always something that runs in a Linux VM or a Docker container somewhere, but I’ve always used a Mac to work on personal and professional projects. I have a Windows desktop that I use...

System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Windows

Although I just skimmed the Rectangle front page, I think this about covers everything you’re asking for in Cinnamon…? The default shortcut is Super/Win-arrow.

The two whines are not mutually exclusive. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My totally unscientific opinion (with a double-your-money-back guarantee!):

I’m not crazy about either Flatpak or Snap for that matter as there’s so much backend baggage for both as well as certain hurdles regarding privileges and access to the file system (somebody please correct me if I’m wrong or working with dated information.)

My other completely prejudiced, unfounded bias against Flatpak is that it appears to have been adopted by RedHat as “the one true way,” and what with IBM’s/RedHat’s behaviour anti-FOSS behaviour lately, plus I’ve almost always have been an apt user, I find it a pill hard to swallow.

Me, say what you will about the security issues and its other flaws, but I like AppImage.

Easy, tiger. I think you misinterpreted my original reply.

I meant the whining about the two (systemd and flatpak) isn’t strictly OR but may be AND. Have a nice day.

Speaking of which, didja hear that for the upcoming Easter holiday, Amazon is offering a special gift basket of northern Israeli cheeses.

They’re calling it Cheeses of Nazareth.

And speaking of completely flawed, your link doesn’t work.

Anyway, thanks for berating informing me about AppImage but it’s the closest thing on Linux to app bundles which IM<HO is the sanest way to package applications.

Thats a lemmy problem

Hmmm…my link in the previous post works. More proof of why Linux has never really taken off with the non-spectrum general public. I guess just following format ([words](https://your.lousy.link)) or – god forbid – you select a word, click the link button and paste just isn’t esoteric enough…?

In any case, I see that you edited your post to cover your tracks fix Lemmy’s error.

The Snap Store is run and controlled by Canonical and is not open source. The rest of Snap is open source, meaning the daemon and core software. [emphasis mine] How threatening this is depends on you POV and has been the subject of much discussion.

Thanks for this! Quoting from the first comment on the linked article’s page…

Wonderful story I can’t believe I didn’t know.
