I'd be more worried about Fedora Silverblue and Kinoite, its variants which rely on Flatpak more, as their point is to experiment with a minimal immutable base OS with every user facing app installed as a Flatpak on top. As long as Red

Page starts zoomed out. Each element is limited in width. Double tapping on an element (e.g. a paragraph) zooms in on said element, making it full width. Further zooming in causes the text to reflow to the viewport width. It's difficul

This is a failure or regression of mobile browsers. We once had automatic line wrapping (Opera Mobile did it best back in its Presto engine days) which provided readable size paragraphs and avoided the need for horizontal scrolling. The onu

Firefox is covered by the Mozilla Public License (MPL), which is a free-as-in-freedom, open source software license. What's your definition of freedom?

Acrobat (not Reader), Foxit, others I tried. It's not impossible, although the result may vary. PDFs, inheriting from PostScript, do have the concept of fonts and text strings, which can be edited. They're not just a soup of vecto

Krita is a better Photoshop than GIMP, in my opinion. I don't care what its intended usage is.

There was an effort to rename it to Glimpse, with non-zero community and developer support, also solving a few common complaints about the user interface. It ultimately resulted in a dead fork, disproving not one but two hypotheses.

I feel the same. If Blue Velvet was the first Lynch movie I saw, I surely wouldn't have bothered with the rest, and I would have missed out on what I now consider one of my absolute favorites (Mulholland Drive). Same goes for Eraserhea

The only truly, audibly lousy Bluetooth codec is low-bitrate SBC. Anything better than that is going to be transparent to most ears. The awfulness of cheap/low-power DACs, on the other hand, knows no limit.
