Yeah that's what I'm searching for atm :/

My requirements on the format itself are not that high, at best I need to be able to add images and tables, I can reason with any format that will work with that, maybe convert it later if I need to.

Not really no, I need something that I can embed into my application, rather than 3rd party software, my application must work offline too :/

I need to automate the process to use it during an algorithm, this is far from practical.

Yeah my main is issue is trying to figure out how many pages it spans, I've looked at some docx and odt libs, none did seem to have an API related to getting the number of pages nor the height of some component (except for stuff with fixed heights like images...).

The underlying issue is that I want to create an exam paper with the least papers possible per exam, so I guess that at least I should be able to get the height of each question of the exam and rearrange them (using an algorithm) in a fashion that uses less papers.

I've moved to Arch like a month ago, first installed i3, I think you'll only need xrandr and setup some hooks that set/reset xrandr on the screen plug/unplug, if you ALWAYS have two screens plugged in, you can execute xrandr on X startup and that's all about it

This is exactly what I needed, thanks a lot

Running rootless xorg recently got my Plasma to black screen after a min of launching sometimes, couldn't switch to a tty (I could press the power button and it worked so ig only the GPU driver crashed or something) the problem most likely only aroused when I adjusted sddm settings from Plasma's, which created a new sddm configuration file, removed rootless xorg config and it seems to have fixed it

I remember being able to create a persistent drive using Rufus and Linux Mint (Not the Debian edition though) , Rufus has a slider for creating a persistent drive when burning the iso, pretty sure you can find some guide online

Not sure about the security, but recently I've tried runit on a very old laptop with HDD and it took waaay much less to fully boot up than a clean Arch32 with systemd

Actually….it’s called NUL

I thought a WM would be lighter on resources that’s why I picked it up instead of XFCE, it’s doing it’s job well I guess

Been using the fluxbox 32bit variant for a while, pretty good and solid, lightweight on resources (the device runs on 1GB of ram and still serves me well enough) only drawback is outdated packages (cuz debian AND 32bit), also I’ve noticed the MX team has done some cool stuff (like I found telegram-desktop (kinda active package) in the MX repo there is no official binary for 32bit Linux)

Or a window system

Mint works pretty well as a persistent flash drive distro, the packages are a bit outdated though if you’re going to do a lot of programming

I’ve tried ranger for some while, pretty neat, but I haven’t tried other terminal file mangers tho
