Not an assembly guy myself but this looks super cool!

Weird that you’re having issues with the arch repo install, I’ve been running firefox from them for years and not had any issues

Thank you! It appears I cannot read

Is there a reason you installed from the AUR instead of the normal Arch repositories? (pacman)

The issue I’ve run into is primarily compatibility with existing documents and being able to share it with other in industry. Like it or not, for business in the US, the office suite is pretty much the only document & spreadsheet application you can expect everyone to have.

It’s not fair to ask people who aren’t interested in learning linux to deal with the incompatibilities between Libre/Open office and O365 because “I don’t like Microsoft”. If they’re pushing to move away from MS and understand this, I’d still probably recommend LibreOffice over OpenOffice because moving someone from a well maintained industry standard Microsoft product to a less supported and less compatible Oracle app seems irresponsible.

Edit: The whole second paragraph is about OpenOffice and not OnlyOffice. Please disregard

I haven’t noticed any issues with a 1080 using i3, so this definitely seems like a KDE issue. Are you getting desktop notifications when it goes black?

So they’ve been found guilty? Which was the requirement you made previously for seizing funds

Both of my parents heavily use O365 and I have to fight the urge to suggest linux every time they complain about automatic updates or weird microsoft integrations.

Part of me really wants to try Fedora or Mint for them instead of the incoming windows 11 update, but it’s such a bad fit

It really depends on who is being helped and the motive for you “helping” them. I’ve had both really good and pretty bad experiences helping and trying to help people with various computer things. As with providing any kind of support, it’s important to get out of your own head and understand what the person your helping wants and needs
