  • To me Adobe has very bad UI, I did try to use it, and first time was awful. Freehand was a lot more intuitive, but when Macromedia was bought, was killed.

    I get it, that a lot of people did learn to use Adobe UI, and of course they want the same because they’re used to, but doesn’t make it better.

    Affinity is more friendlier than PS to me.

    I’m not saying that GIMP UI is perfect or good, but right now, to my casual use case, is not bad. Obviously can be better, and get some ideas from other UIs.




  • Use Termux, you need:

    • Android Tablet/Smartphone.
    • Bluetooth keyboard.
    • Cheap stand 4 device.

    That’s my setup to play tabletop rpg (DND5E) for a couple of years, all CLI using any text editor you like with markdown. I use: tmux, vis.

    In your case: SC-IM, visidata, any text editor.

    With Termux you can use packages from repo or from other distros with proot-distro, like: Alpine, Avoid, Debian, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu.








  • I’ve tried FOSS keyboards, but always return to Gboard, my particular needs are: Swype and bilingual suggestions (English and Spanish). There are alternatives for Swype style, but none works good with bilingual language.

    As an alternative I use, Unexpected keyboard, very good and small, is like a better and updated hacker’s keyboard (abandoned). Give this a try. Very useful specially with Termux or similar.



  • Beginning: Ubuntu.
    Until today: Arch

    Why? I found in Arch updated software that I was interested at that time, I liked the rolling distro, minimalism, AUR.

    I’m happy with my TWM (DWM) and multiplexer (tmux).

    I did install other distros in old hardware like Slitaz, Debían that needs 32 bit.

    I’m interested right now in things like Alpine and Void, because small and functional in Termux or older hardware. And some distrobox (similar to proot-distro in Termux).

    Now learning a little bit of Groff with markdown (pandoc) to create PDF, for a small and fast typesetting. I haven’t found a way to convert markdown to pdf using MOM macros in Groff.
