Libreoffice suite allows you to export any document in pdf. Libreoffice Draw I use to edit pdf content. PdfArranger is a very nice tool to change the structure of a pdf (like adding a pdf file to an existing pdf, or deleting pages, you see all the pages at once on the screen and can see the content when you zoom, very intuitive). When I need to add signatures or raster pictures with transparency, I open the required page on Gimp and “File->Open as layer” the picture. Usually it works with Draw directly.

I have been working several years like this and it is pretty much a no-brainer now.

Yes you are right, usually linux users that are not in IT have no choice but using bad microsoft computers (or Apple for designers/upper upper management) when they are employees.

But if you are general manager, or an independant contractor, you do whatever you want, and I have been on Debian, Void since 3 years now and it is just great.

People complain that “your files are not compatible” (i.e.: their excel version can not open a moderately complex xlsx file), and you use stupidly dumb webapp for Outlook and Teams, but otherwise if you don’t need to commit for a specific software (built for windows or mac, like Adobe suite, 2D or 3D CAD softwares, some kind of old school ERP or CRM), you are all good. Basically everything done by management staff can be done using LibreOffice.

The “cloud revolution” at least has given us this good result : you can have basic business utilities solved through a webclient, hence GNU/Linux OS is ok to work with.

It am quite sure in the manual, but if you just look on the interwebz tutorials every command line just writes the full shebang. So you don’t look up the manual and get flabbergasted when you see this post. btw: if you are able to guess “what the standard shortcut would be”, you are a wizard Harry 🥳

Incredible that it’s not written everywhere, I always wanted to use something like this without the " update && upgrade" which looks like is not working oftentimes

Ils veulent juste faire de la thune

I was just checking that yesterday, and there was the opportunity to have something equivalent to a “steam phone” with https://liberux.net/#specs , but the indiegogo failed.

One that is actually sold is the Furiphone , which is under finalization of software update., and has chroot for Android apps with Waydroid. check the links ! 😊

Problem with Wayland, is the liability of being to not able the use of some software, and not being able to foresee it.

X11 is also working well, and a lot of the “issues” people have with it is more about hearsay than real issues.

This is the reason why we have distro diversity: we can choose ! And laugh at innocent memes either way we feel about it

Antix , a debian, should be a good one for you. Base configuration is good, you may have issues with wifi connecting on startup, but otherwise it is enjoyable.

DRY SOLID KISS

Satisfying 😂

Self taught Python (and using linux OS) over the last 15 years ; the only ways I found real progress in my code/coding were while doing the following : 1/ (at start): following strictly a “school manual” with lessons and ALL exercices. It was Python 2.3 I think, a manual (in French) by Swinnen. To be honest I stopped before reaching the GUI and network programming, and guess at what I suck today in Python programming … 2/ projects, personal projects. I did pro (paid) projects on the side, but with the impetuous to deliver results to be paid, I can not progress. On personal projects I can take the time to try stuff, to rewrite functions or programs, and to “improve” existing code with new/better coding constructs.

So here I am with a rather random level of Python programming proficiency, currently being average at most but enough proficient to have workable programs.

Thanks !

Le fameux ruissellement qu’on a jamais vu se réaliser

Ouais mais le coup de taxer les entreprises qui font 30% de marge nette c’est vraiment une idée à jeter (ça c’est tuer la compétitivité des PME, je fais 100k€ par an pour me rémunérer sans employés, je paye 45% de taxe pour me le verser en salaire, et boum 10% sur mon bénéfice parce que j’ose faire une entreprise qui marge pour créer sa trésorerie).

Ça c’est les arguments qui font que ce genre de pétition ne passent pas l’assemblée.

La pétition sur la loi Zucman, la première du thread, celle là elle est focalisée sur les gros patrimoines, et permet de rapatrier du capital français, dans les institutions françaises. Taxer la trésorerie c’est vraiment une idée à la noix.
