I recently moved to Linux mint after years of thinking it would be hard or wouldn't offer the tools I needed. I've been extremely pleasantly surprised! I've moved over fully, working in CAD, spreadsheets, all the normal stuff without any hassle. And none of these pop ups anymore.

What sort of CAD work to you do? What are you using for CAD?

[–] tyrant 2 points 1 year ago

Residential metal work. Kind of complex things. Dining from AutoCAD and inventor. Still learning it but now using bricscad. Freecad seems ok but like it's cobbled together by a bunch of volunteers 🤣😜

Hi, what do you use for spreadsheets? I've tried librecalc but so far its a major hassle - the cells are way too small on my 1440p monitor and I cant figure out how to fix it.

You just need to zoom in. To make sure it applies to everything, completely close librecalc, open a new spreadsheet, zoom in using the slider on the bottom right, or ctrl+scroll up, until the cells are a good size for you, then close it and that should set the value as the default for all your sheets :)

I don’t even need this information, but I wanted to say thank you for the great and detailed response!

[–] hangonasecond 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you, I really appreciate that.
