Not really, but I switched from Qwerty to Workman years ago, though I can live with Qwerty if I have to when it’s on someone else’s machine.

I use Workman because I found Colemak rather hard to learn, mostly because of the position of S being one over from where it was on Qwerty.

In order for them to be allowed on exams, I ghink they’re required to have a non-QWERTY layout.

Linux (and I think maybe even macOS) can do Ctrl+Shift+U, and then you type the Unicode hex number.

Discord also has an app from Linux - you can get it as a Flatpak (an official one) or as a native package, although they don’t provide a repo for native packages and expect you to manually download a package file every time there is an update.

For the native packages issue, someone created an apt repo on Github, and if you look in the CI routine, you can tell they’re using the official Discord packages and not modifying them.

Honestly, I should probably be sandboxing it more.

It’s annoying to use a proprietary service, but the This Might Be a Wiki community is rather enjoyable.

It’s not just packages. Ubuntu performance is terrible - it runs so much worse than other distros in VM. I don’t know about spins, but main Ubuntu takes 30 seconds to respond to some button presses whereas it’s nearly instant in other GNOME-using distros given equal or less resources.

Can you give more info about what you tried (commands, GUIS, etc)? What does it say when it denies your request?

Also, timezones usually go by cities - I for instance, I’m on AZ time as well, and the time zone for me is called America/Phoenix.

OP explicitly said Mint isn’t what they’re looking for.

I think my very first exposure to Linux was when I got a Pi 3 for Christmas when I was 10; by next year, I was trying out Ubuntu 16.04 in a VM.

However, it took several years before I began daily-driving; I had thrown it on an old laptop during my sophomore year of high school that I mostly used from the couch.

I then did a “test install” of Debian Testing on my main desktop pater that year, which just became what I used every day and quickly just became my main operating system.

I soon installed it on everything else I owned and haven’t looked back.

Exciting, as always. I just hope they can eventually add CMYK support.

I get color spaces are hard and there are workarounds involving Scribus, but I wonder if one could just have a custom SVG attribute that would be ignored by a standard SVG renderer (we’d have a similar placeholder RGB color, which we maybe would allow to be manually modified) and read by Inkscape when rendering to a format for print like PDF.

I find that a bit funny - most people find it the other way around. In fact, coming from Illustrator, I found it easier in a lot of ways.

I think 3.0 is big just for finally adding some non-destructive editing.

I feel like 3.0 was a big step - we finally got non-destructive editing on most filters.

Still, the resize GUI drives me nuts, and Resynthesizer should just be a brush in the default install at this point, perhaps with greater optimization.
