There are already a billion different online form generators and people are still using PDF for this. PDFs are just meant for publishing, I don't know what derangement causes people to ask for gif,video and form support for PDF.

Remember, annotating PDF is fine but editing PDF is not fine. .doc or .odt files are supposed to be edited. PDF files are supposed to be printed or filled (fill the blanks). If you require editing a pdf, someone in the process is making a mistake.

I usually do sudo dpkg -i <filename.deb>

It's open-source. You can always check if there is anything shady. If you can't read it, you can raise an issue on Github and wait for a response :)

Australia doesn't exist btw. Or was it New Zealand?

Thank you for the project. Maybe you can have an indicator saying

  • Server load level = 4/5 Measured speed might not be indicative of true speed
  • Server load level = 2/5 Measured speed is close to true speed

This could set an expectation for the users of the side

I remember a year back they just turned "off" their microservice architechture (Musk: "Why are we burning so much money in this microservice?"), or the part which allows for autoscaling as per incoming load. So the servers just reached 100% utilization and crashed.

I've been using i3 with the same GTK theme for several years now. It's completely tuned to my workflow. I don't need it to change it anymore. Also, because it's so customizable, I can literally add features which I want.

since average users get their tech friends to do the installing anyway

Close but no cigar.

While some people do take their tech-friend's help, majority of people just buy PCs/laptops with Windows preinstalled. THAT is the reason people are just used to Windows.
