If you need to get some work done while you try to fix the flatpak mess, there are official AppImages for both Scribus and LibreOffice. You can find Scribus Stable (v1.4.8) at http://impagina.org/download I have been using the Scribus 1.5.4 for a while, now. This is the developmental version, but I ...

I have fought this fight many times. I think all41 is close to the answer, especially if the battery is pushing 1-year old. These batteries are not very large, I find that it is hard to get more than one season from one. Charging it over night might give it an extended life, but it is my experience ...

... expansion isn't a major issue. The biggest reason it is an issue for me is music. I have a large-ish music library - I am able to use a memory card that is large enough to contain the entire library, with enough space to spare for a small library of e-books and more photos than I will ever take...

Thank you for the replies. I intend to go look see about an Android. Verizon offers a wonderful little Palm phone now but the reviews say the battery life sucks or I'd think about one of those. A possible negative that would be deal-breaker for me is the Palm Phone does not appear to accept expanda...

and without any prior warning, they just announced it..... My favorite lines in the article are "Make no mistake, Windows 10 security is very important but so is giving users ample time to prepare for changes which may impact their productivity and cost them money." :lol: The preceeding paragraph s...

I tend to stick with a release to the end. The only reason I left 17.3 MATE early was because a new release of darktable, which had features I really wanted, would not run on 17.3. I might have left 18.2 MATE early, the reason this time was new versions of GIMP and darktable, but the GIMP AppImage a...

This video has me wondering if my own state of Florida could possibly leverage this in order to help confront the problem with our massive algae bloom problems. I doubt this would be a viable solution in Florida's waterways. I think you would need to have a closed system like a pond, lake or reserv...

You also have to consider it might be a USB Killer. Whether would be worse than a Windows 10 installation device....

.... but most babyboomer fathers seem to have missed that opportunity: I am a boomer, and my most vivid DYI lesson from my father was how to repair a dripping faucet. The hot water tap for the kitchen sink dripped and he set out to show me how to replace the washers. Step 1. Remove the faucet handl...

I think the impact on US consumers will be negligible. Its products are not available in the standard market channels, and, if I am reading the numbers correctly, Huawei's market share is a little better than a rounding error. Huawei will survive regardless of whether it is a player in the US market...

I was about 5 mins into composing a reply to a post, hit preview and ... lost the lot! I have been hit by this, too. At one time I had a problem where the session would time-out before I hit send, and most of the time I lost everything. I took to composing posts and replies in CherryTree and then C...

Cherrytree - Is my go-to address book I like, use and recommend Cherrytree, but I think TreeLine is a better choice for an address book. The version in the repositories is old, but it works just fine. @OP Currently, Xreader (aka, Document Viewer) is the default PDF viewer - it works fine, and I rec...

If history is any indication....

Not to sound critical, but isn't that describing the usual MS release strategy

I'm not sure that MS hasn't included that in both its Mission Statement and its Vision Statement, along with "Wait for us, we're the leaders."

Well... here's one person's take on what Microsoft's next OS might be. The comments are amusing, especially the treads about whether it will support 32-bit Windows applications and how that will affect the "Enterprise" market. If history is any indication, Windows Core OS will be late, it will arri...

When Apple releases their newest "iWhatever" the media and iDrones go nuts. I know one iNut who has already decided to replace his 'Trashcan' Mac with the new 'Cheese Grater' Mac. His 'Trashcan' is too slow. He uses it for social media, email, browsing the interwebs, and syncing other iThings. And ...

Don't ask me, I'm not even using Cinnamon. I only know because smurphos has to explain this one regularly it feels like and I get educated by lurking, haha. I don't know either - it's definitely in the realms of 'strange' design decision. I think it stretches the definition of "design." I have seen...

Coffee is my morning wake-me-up. Dark roast, black. Although I have been known to doctor it with a shot of Irish Cream. I am a bit surprised a Texican would consider tea as anything other than the "house wine." You do know the proper way to serve it is in a tall glass, over ice, with way to much sug...

I try to limit myself to one-a-day, and most days it is Very Old Barton. It isn't the finest Kentucky Bourbon I have ever sipped, but it is much better than its bottom shelf price suggests. It also makes for a nice toddy for coughs and when the rheumatize acts up; otherwise I take it with a small ic...

The Dell is 32 bit i5 M 520 @2.40 GHz - I assume I can run this off a stick initially (before installing alongside W7) but would I use the 32 bit or 64 bit version? You have a 64-bit CPU. Use the 64-bit version. I would go with either MATE or Xfce on a machine with 4GB RAM, but it should be able to...

In the top right corner of the right click menu there's a little + that you can click to (persistently) show more actions. Thanks. I kept looking for the settings/controls in arcane places like Preferences and System Settings. Clicking on the + next to the Open / Open with menu entry is so much sen...
