Any good free, open source UWP Windows apps?

Jump

  • Fluent launcher is a powertoys run/spotlight alternative for windows if you want.

    • Which terminal emulator do you use?

    Jump

  • Same here whatever the DE has I would use.

    Though most common answers from others would be alacritty or kitty which I see the use but feels advanced in configuration.

    • Will a PDF created in Linux (Libreoffice) always look the exact same when opened in Windows?

    Jump

  • Not it's fine , trying to edit the PDFs may cause the problem.

    • What are the differences between linux distributions?

  • If the same void package exists in the nix os repo then sure. You can't use a void package in nix os is the thing I would like to point out other than using distrobox.

    • What are the differences between linux distributions?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't compare void and nix since both of them follow very different approaches. Void is more like a traditional distro while nixos on the other hand uses configurations for setup.

    And no you can't use void on nix os as said above. Hannah Montana linux and kubuntu uses Ubuntu as the base that's what he meant.

    • Linux Mint XCFE -> Gnome?

    Jump

  • It's fine for the most part. Just keyboard shortcuts won't work in default and theming is slightly difficult. You have add extensions to gnome to increase functionality.

    • Comparison between NixOS vs blendOS vs Vanilla OS: what to pick and why?

    Jump

  • Blend is based of arch not Debian.

    • XBPS has spoiled me - advice needed.

  • Went with Arch and Fedora simply for the parallel downloading. I tried xbps , the only turn off for me was the fact that feature was missing otherwise void is best to stick with.

    • How can I fix these darned icons in Zorin Lite Xfce???

    Jump

  • In panel settings , switch off the automatic size for icons that would fix it for you.

    • What is the best linux alternative to OneNote?

    Jump

  • Some which I can think out of my head are : Joplin Trillium Logseq Notion Obsidian Anytype

    If you need to draw, I would look into notion and obsidian.

    • MIcrosoft teams

    Jump

  • Well you can use the web version.

    • I know I know, another "help me choose a distro" thread

    Jump

  • Void linux with its xbps package manager might match with your requirements.

    Then solus with its eopkg package manager which I might wait like next year to try it.

    • It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

    Jump

  • It looks sooooo good.

    • Post your favorite icon pack / cursor / theme for your DE

    Jump

  • Icon theme : Papirus Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato Cursor: Catppuccin Dark

    As you can see I enjoy the catppuccin colorscheme for its variety.

    Jump

  • Debian does ship nano not vim.
