One nice thing about the newer version of BibleGateway is that the javascript on the site is friendlier now and I don't have to weaken my security settings to use it. That's good to hear. Just came across this as to why the ESV Bible has disappeared as a Sword Module: https://www.crosswire.org/pipe...

Re: what happened to bibleworks !? How do they proceed the work - is it now free and opensource?!

I'm becoming increasingly wary of closed source projects when it comes to software I depend upon. Bible software in particular. I saw recently that Bible Gateway now defaults to a mess that is difficult to search and has a screen filled with junk you need a subscription to use. I by accident came ac...

Yes. Their free version asks for a key after a while. But you can reuse the same key. So I got a key for the version of free Softoffice in my Manjaro install when finally requested, and reused the same key number when I installed SO in MX.
That's a good idea. I will do that from now on.

Re: SoftMaker Free Office now available

That's weird. The last couple of times It has not required one from me. I installed Freeoffice about a week or so ago from a fresh MX install and have not been asked for an email, nor for the one before that. I suppose there could be a set time after using it that they ask for an email. I always hav...

zram use

Just tossing this out as a FYI. If you have a computer with 2-4 gb of ram and it is slow or bogging down, you might give zram a shot. I first saw the benefits in using it with GalliumOS as that OS for Chromebooks has zram enabled by default. I then installed zram on a Debian machine, and it seemed t...

Re: MX+KDE=heaven!

The default KDE/Plasma in Buster seemed pretty nice. Is there a big advantage for the work involved to bump up to a slightly newer version?

Re: MX+KDE=heaven!

I recently installed KDE/Plasma Debian 10 and it is a nice DE. It's surprising that it only used about 500 mb ram on a fresh boot, making it one of the lightest Linux desktops. I remember not long ago when everyone said how much they loved KDE but it used too much ram. How times have changed :)

Yeah, I had no trouble moving from Windows XP to the KDE DE. But a big learning curve for Linux in general (I'm still learning). I must have read the installation instructions 10 times. Even back then the MEPIS team had good documentation.
