I don't use Endeavor or Arch (btw), but KDE Plasma is amazing. I'd probably be happy with any distro as long as it supported plasma.

Yes, I found a guide for getting Photoshop CS6 running in wine (PlayOnLinux wrapper). A recent update to something broke it for me, but it might still work for others.

Out of curiosity, do you ever rescue laptops from your work and use or resell them?

[–] Decker108@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Libreoffice is essentially full fat Office at this point. If you need any , more than what it offers, you're more likely than not a computer savvy person already. Photoshop is hard to fully replace though. I ran it in wine for a long time, still haven't found a good alternative.

Well, there's always the devil you know... (Ubuntu)

Kate, Terminator, k4dirstat and the amazing clipboard history app in KDE.

RISC is going to change everything.

[–] Decker108@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

There's currently only two Risc-v laptops that I've heard of: The Alibaba Roma and the Balthazar Personal Computing Device. Most development is currently happening in SBCs and microcontrollers.

Just to clarify a few points in #1: CISC has gone largely (entirely?) extinct, so it doesn't play into this. Arm processors are more efficient than x86, but Risc-v is even more efficient than Arm, giving them an edge in cheap, low power computing. However, some companies have started experimenting with Risc-v for HPC applications, so it's turning out more versatile than expected. Just this week there was also news of a bunch of companies banding together to develop Risc-v chips for automobile and Telecom, so don't be surprised if we get Risc-v smartphones and tablets in the near future.

As someone who does all my Linux gaming in Kubuntu, why should OP avoid KDE?

[–] Decker108@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Not OP, but I've been running Kubuntu since 2017 since it's desktop environment looks and works very similar to Windows 7 (desktop with icons, taskbar, launcher, search, options, etc) which is what I was used to after running Windows for two decades before. It's also stable and sees a lot of mainstream apps being ported to it.

They still haven't figured out string handling?
