Today's Firefox update was REALLY slow 30 mins + and with more than 10 breaks. Same here. Timed out several times, then got a "switch to another mirror" error. Gave up and left for work. Update worked properly when I returned 8hrs later - the Firefox update was fast, but I cannot say it w...

...but with appimage you have to download the update manually. Yes, and no. Yes, you have to download the new version (and make it executable). But the Check for updates... will check for updates and, if one is available, it will give you the option to download it. You will still have to make the n...

Frankly, I don't understand how a move to Linux can fail All it takes is a handful of powerful managers with loud voices and some unhappy office drones. In the distant past I worked for a company that used Lotus Notes/Domino and SmartSuite. Notes had its flaws, but I found it to be a very powerful ...

Do you have a recent unencrypted backup of your files? Have you have tested your backup to ensure it can be restored?

If this can be done so easily and escape notice, then these container based packages are not very "safe" at all by anyones standards. I consider them to be safe. I have Fedora and Ubuntu (and also Manjaro) on another machine, and I rotate using them weekly - I am not particularly fond of ...

Have you tried to restore it from a recent backup? You do backup your data and personal files on a regular schedule, yes?

The artisan-linux-2.10.2.AppImage would not launch for me, but the artisan-linux-2.10.0.AppImage launched without issue.

The first time I launch Chrome after rebooting I am always prompted to enter a password to unlock the login keyring.

I remember buying single sided 5.25 disks then cutting the notch out on the other side I still have my notcher. I found it last week while digging through my Box Full Of Old Tech You Should Probably Have Thrown Out But Kept Just In Case. I could not remember what it was at the time. Show of hands. ...

If you want to confuse youngsters, ask them if they know why you "dial" a phone number. Then ask if they know where the dial is. I wager the expression on their innocent faces will be similar to the one a toddler has the first time someone plays 'I got your nose'. A neighbor's kid lives to...

I selected Between Ten to Fifteen Years because I first started using Linux with Redhat 5.0 ... I just did not stick with it because OS/2 was still a better fit for me. I switched to Linux in officially in 2014 when WinXP hit EoL. So technically I guess I should be in the Between Five to Ten Years C...

The person who lay out the newspaper/magazine uses MS Word to do it... :? Anyone who uses MS Word for a complex document like this deserves every drop of misery that comes their way. I have broken in at least five keyboards because Word automagically rearranged a page for me. On a postive note, the...

A bigger problem, IMO, is you are using LibreOffice Draw for page layout. It is not as egregious as some of the misuse of Excel I have seen over my many years, but Draw is not the best tool for the job. I would use Scribus for a document like this, especially if the placement of elements required pr...

Are you talking about a specific malicious AppImage (name and source, please) or a hypothetical malicious AppImage?

Almost every image editor, paint and drawing program (GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, Pinta, LibreOffice Draw, etc.) can resize images. I think these are not the ideal tools for the job - it is like using a chainsaw to prune the dead limbs on the office ficus that nobody waters. Smaller, simpler and faster t...

I decided to go with the Appimage. The Appimage I chose, gimp2-10-36-python2-mm-ubuntu.Appimage, is purported to have the python 2 dependencies needed to run the Resynthesizer plugin ... No joy on the Resynthesizer plugin though. I've installed it, but there's no sign of it in any of the menus. I h...

Hello. I'd like to upgrade to the latest version of Gimp as it has a bug fix for the color picker tool. It can be installed via Flatpak or Appimage. I've never installed either so I don't an opinion on the merits of either. I've researched enough to form the opinion that, to the OS, it's a matter o...

On the right side of the github you will see a Releases section, and clicking the latest release build will take you to the downloads. AppImageLauncher is available as traditional package for Debian and Redhat distributions (.DEB, .RPM), as an AppImage, and as source, and it is recommended to use th...

I wonder if Apple will claim this as an iThing feature and sue?

Any recommended "How To Use Cherrytree " guides webpages or videos ? I started using CherryTree when I first switched to Linux (10 years went by fast) to help me document my learning process. I found it confusing to use at first - as Hoser Bob mentioned, the default menu bar is busy. One ...
