Editor Wars never ended, so the phrase "EMACS is a fine OS, shame about the lack of an editor" still applies.

Those people who complain that LateX is hard to install on windows, have never tried to link a windows LateX install with a windows VI install. I switched to Texmaker in the end, but I still miss the amazing folding in VI.

Emacs is to Office what Vim is to notepad. Both are very good at what they do (certainly better than their anologies in any instance) but you will be hard pressed to find Org functionality in Vim and Vim's low-level speed in emacs.

Hey, I'm an idiot, what's wrong with my bash script? Excessive echos there because I was trying to figure out what's upquote:audio=`pacmd list-cards | grep 'active profile'` Even if $audio and $analog appear to be the same, it doesn't work and runs pactl set-card-profile 0 output:analog-stereo

Pretty rusty at all things linux, but it could be that there are control characters in the $audio variable that aren't being displayed by the echo command. Could try putting the following at the end of your script to see what the variables contain before they're interpreted.code:

Put double quotes around your echo statement variables and you'll see why its not matching. ex: echo "$audio" echo "$analog" code:

tjones posted:Put double quotes around your echo statement variables and you'll see why its not matching. Yeah, this is what I get when I did that, so now $analog is " active profile: <output:analog-stereo>" instead and it works lol. Thanks everybody. Edit: It was more clear in the post window, but yeah it's a character before active profile which I didn't otherwise see. BrainDance fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Mar 11, 2020 |

Weaponized Autism posted:After using Mint for 7 years, I switched over to Fedora w/ KDE last night. God drat KDE is so much better than Cinnamon. Fedora's KDE "spin" is insanely bloated compared to other distros, where it reaches XFCE speeds. Remove the 'akonadi' package and the various DE tools it relies upon and you'll be gold.

Personally, I also stop and disable Baloo, the file indexing service. Apart from not needing it, it also shits up your application menu with your files for some reason.

Severing posted:Be careful doing that if you use the mail app or anything that relies on it though. Well, yeah, but that's why every other KDE variant of a distro ships Thunderbird. The guy heading up Fedora's believes in it being a KDE/QT showcase, which means users making elaborate guides for minimal installs and Fedora Magazine's writer lamenting having to report a huge memory footprint even though he himself is a "KDE fan" and knows it's ridiculous. The reality is in-between. The KDE spin does ship a lot of KDE bloatware, but just removing Akonadi and everything that goes out with it will make it work fine on any system that isn't miserly about space. And some of the little programs, particularly Kate Editor and KGet, are programs I do use quite a bit. I even put Kate on my GNOME CentOS box because the gEdit team won't get it together for Wayland; which banned running graphical editors under sudo. Kate will edit read only files and prompt you for your password when you try to save which is compatible with Wayland. gEdit's devs are basically in "time to get used to nano folks" denial mode. Which is really loving weird because GNOME is pretty much the final destination for the "want my Grandma to use Linux" types. No new user who is hesitant to customization and is used to MS Notepad wants to edit their files in a terminal emulator. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Mar 11, 2020 |

Well, the Gnome people are Apple-level of "You are holding it wrong", so that's to be expected. I wish the Akonadi people would finally dump their mysql dependency in the trash where it belongs FWIW.

Excessive echos there because I was trying to figure out what's up I know this isn't exactly what you are asking but this could be simplified to: code:It is possible to have more than one card and I think each can have its own active profile so if you want to make this portable you'd have to adjust to take that into account.

Thanks, that's actually really helpful. I figured there had to be a better way to accomplish what I was trying to do. Didn't know how else to go about it, though.

I mean, it's not particularly bloated, but it also chokes and dies on even moderately large files, has weird UTF-8 support and no support for line endings that aren't CRLF, and lacks what I consider even very basic text editor features (and have since like 1993), like the ability to indent/exdent multiple lines at once, adjust the tab width, or search in reverse or by regex. If all you want to do is view a text file without editing it (and that text file is small and uses CRLF line endings) it's ok, I guess, but at that point the best point of comparison is less and it comes out poorly even there. Before I discovered Notepad++ I tended to remap .txt from notepad to wordpad anyways, because while it starts up slower it also won't completely poo poo the bed on large text files or ones with LF line endings.

I was wondering if there was an application similar to Notepad++ on Linux as it uses the open source SCintilla editor. The closest I've found in look and feel is Notepadqq (which from what I can tell is trying to be a clone of it). Not sure if I'll switch from Kate but we'll see.

One of the more surprising things Microsoft has done recently is to add better support for alternate line endings in Notepad. I haven't tested it, though.

MySQL hasn't been required for a while. Here are instructions for configuring Akonadi to use postgresql: https://vinzv.de/en/bringing-kmail-and-postgresql-together/ While the author mentions that his distribution of choice is Opensuse, this continues to work for me under the latest Fedora. I have been using this configuration for at least a year.
