Another arch-er here. The main reason I moved to arch was KDE Plasma 5. When it first came out version 5, was buggy, but usable enough to be a daily driver. A rolling release made it easy to get the latest updates and I haven't needed

Yes, but to get a good picture one should account for how large the geographic separation between the couples is and for what reasons? The case of spouses voluntarily living apart on either coasts of the continental USA for career reasons o

I did make an attempt to switch from GnuCash to Firefly III, but had to switch back. As loathed as the GnuCash GUI is, Firefly III simply did not come close to the speed with which I could enter transactions in bulk via the keyboard. Plus,

Besides other suggestions here, one of my favourites for publishing is orgmode + Latex ( https://orgmode.org/manual/Embedded-LaTeX.html#Embedded-LaTe... ). Org-mode can be thought of as a wrapper around LaTeX. Content in

Great tip. The animations never bothered me much, but upon turning it and transparency off, things are so much snappier. I have absolutely no need for them on my work machine.

I hope Firefox turns this option on by default. Overnight millions will face a hard time with reCAPTCHA and Google might be forced to sit up and take note. Fantasy aside, people will simply switch to Chrome-based browsers contributing to Fi

Opera (presto) was snappy. In Vivaldi, there is a noticeable lag and the user interface written in Javascript simply doesn't measure up to a native one. The interface itself is rather nice, but the perception of latency ruins the overa

Seconded. With Google reader, I never really was a fan of their web interface and preferred the Feeddemon desktop client. Sadly it was discontinued after the death of GReader. Switched to Inoreader since then and I must say the web interace

Users who want fast startup simply load emacs-server once on system startup and run the emacsclient when needed. Emacs starts in a jiffy when done this way. Of course this probably will not help you with resetting accumulated states.

On Linux it made a big difference, esp. because KPXC does not require Mono. The GUI feels more natural, is stable and plays well with the system tray (which was a sore point with KP2). On Windows, KPXC might actually be a step backward sinc
