Yes, on fedora you just click the check box for the Nvidia driver repo in KDE Discover or Gnome Software, and you're good.

Zettlr! Its designed around writing manuscripts in markdown+latex, then exporting to pure LaTeX, PDF, or any other Pandoc-supported format via a builtin Pandoc GUI. The only thing that doesn't work particularly well is the table editor, but they're working on it.

It is electron based, but almost all graphical editors for markdown + inline latex are (obsidian, etc.) because MathJax & KaTeX are the most mature method to render LaTeX inside other document formats.

Obsidian is also good, but it's not FOSS and their built-in export isn't great.

Nah, I've had no issues pasting from the clipboard into signal, from either the Mint screenshot tool or Flameshot. Not sure what issue the top commenter is having...

Sure, but they can't build Pandoc translation against an experimental format, so no LaTeX anytime soon.

Well, Typst is explicitly a no-go for anyone who has to submit a manuscript, until it they get a damn HTML representation, so Pandoc can get it to LaTeX. There's practically nowhere I could use Typst except my own notes, and I've tried!

Well, I doubt they'll release one for my clippers since they're discontinued, so that inspired me to go ahead and model a variable-depth one for myself. Based on some of the comments here, I thickened the comb blades to make them print more easily.

They havent released one for the razor I have, but honestly I might try modeling them myself. Doesn't seem impossible, and I've been waning a deeper comb than they sell.

No no of course not, but it's a compatibility layer for windows inside linux.

That...is wine.

...and for anyone like me who was unsure, yes it works equivalently for AMD. I think Intel as well, but I'm not sure about that.

These aren't relying on gravity, theyre relying on maintaining a vacuum, and concrete is extremely porous. They're obviously sealing the inside of the chamber, but basically no coatings have a lifetime of 60 years for holding vacuum.

Well, you will have excess solar power during the day, so just keep it plugged in to the solar while solar is available. Then, just unplug the laptop in the evening until you get to 15-20%.

Trying to force the laptop to discharge while plugged in is colossally more trouble than it's worth.

I would assume that they left the MX off of laptop GPUs, since they're all MX cards, until recently. Regardless, the "card of the right approximate era" thing should work, unless there are specific patches for your card, which is unlikely.

It seems to me that the offending dialog would only be triggered if you did a full fresh install. During the previous iteration of the testing, they probably had a VM somewhere with it installed; since the underlying packages were already present, the dialog would never have popped up.

Yup. Even for technical writing, markdown with embedded LaTeX is great in most cases, thanks largely to Pandoc and its ability to convert the markdown into pure LaTeX. There are even manuscript-focused Markdown editors, like Zettlr.

Wait is the stupid lag in Word because it's running on Electron now???? That explains so much.

Edit: after a little bit of searching, it looks like it just loads webview2 to avoid having to load it if you open any of the add-in search panels. So the lagginess of new word is just inexcusable.

Ubuntu 16.04, dual booted on my laptop before I knew how much of a hassle that could be! Fortunately, never had any of the infamous issues.

Being landed gentry must have helped in getting your hands on one!

Couldn't find any near me at less than $200 over MSRP :(

A new iteration of open-source drivers for NVIDIA cards which aims to work better and be more feature-complete. Original announcement post here which explains a bit better.

There are currently 252 Catholic cardinals, but only 135 are eligible to cast ballots as those over the age of 80 can take part in debate but cannot vote.

You're telling me the Catholic church has more term limits than the US Supreme Court?
