Octave is great! Just wanted to add for completeness that Matlab is also available for Linux (in some places you're simply forced to use Matlab, so it's good to know you don't need to leave Linux for that).
Great idea! Cool if you add some guidelines in the community sidebar – for example: can one just post a link to a video that presents a math riddle? And also a brief code of conduct maybe.
+1 about the software. Actually it'd be great to have a post here on Linux where people can comment about desired apps, and subcomments point out Linux alternatives – or simply different "angles of attack" so to speak.
1.5+ years is a long time... It'll be good to rewatch season 1 right before. I share your worries.
Ah just saw that! You teaser! :D
Thanks for the rec! Needed something for next weekend :)
Wow, that's the same reason I also chose the Nvidia gpu: for the vapour-chamber cooling (GeForce RTX 3060, lowest model that brought the vapour chamber). But I've noted a somewhat better performance with the Nvidia when watching videos. So now I have it on-demand. – But of course different people have different needs and preferences, so I totally get your settings.
Great initiative sharing here too. I agree on the hope and strategy!
What you suggests makes the Nvidia unusable though, doesn't it? I noticed that tlp helped in my case (but on X1E4!). See the setting mentioned in this comment, and also this article. Maybe they can be of use – maybe not.
By "something like Windows", do you mean suddenly getting a "Configuring updates... please wait" on the screen, and having all open jobs killed by a sudden and unasked-for restart? 😂
Just joking of course! Welcome to Linux! I moved a year ago and haven't looked back once. In my case Ubuntu+Gnome did the job well, but soon I moved to KDE-Plasma. It offers available customizations that Windows only dreams of – but can still be made to look quite like Windows if you like. I think there are even desktop themes available to make it look like Windows.
But most posts here give much better and more expert advice :)
If you right-click on the Klipper tray icon, select "Configure..." and then "Shortcuts", you can assign shortcuts to move back and forth in the kill ring, and to paste. I have assigned S-v for backwards and S-C-v for forward. Then the usual C-v will paste. The tray icon also shows you the current selection (and the ones above and below) in the killring, as you move through it.
InfanView alternatives.
IrfanView is a great piece of software for Windows. One of those "jack of all trades, master of none". It works as a simple image & video viewer and browser, can do simple and not-so-simple image manipulation, and even batch jobs, like conversion, on selections of images in folders.
For Linux (and other platforms) there's XnView MP that offers extremely similar functionalities.
