Re: HP's new printer subscription service...
I still have my old scanner/copier/printer HP 380 all-in-one and it still mostly works. I'm glad I found this thread because I want to get a new printer soon.

Re: Yes, about all that old Windows 10 hardware.....
Switching to Linux was hardly a "gargantuan task" for me. That was years ago now and it's only gotten easier since then. Learning to use and maintain Linux was the harder part, but no more difficult than running "defrag" and all that when I was learning Windows. I think most ordi...

Re: Yes, about all that old Windows 10 hardware.....
I have been advocating for Linux many years now, and only one person I've spoken to about it actually uses it - and that's only because she had no computer of her own so I gave her my spare laptop (with MX-Linux on it). When she finally gets her own computer, I doubt she'll care if it's Linux or not...

Re: A year after creation date...
Before Ubuntu made Debian usable by us ordinary mortals ("Linux for Human Beings"®), Mepis had already been doing it quite successfully. But Ubuntu had the backing of a millionaire and so kind of cornered the newbie market. Now Ubuntu has gotten too big for it's britches, teamed up with Mi...

Re: Best Dock panel for KDE
A panel and a dock are just about the same thing, if you want them to be. I do the same thing in Xfce as @CatManDan does in KDE (very nice looking, CatMan). For eye candy, use Cairo Dock. For simplicity and low-demand functionality, use the good ol' Xfce panel!

Re: LibreOffice: Text on an Arc
Thanks everyone! I've followed the same directions in LibreOffice that you posted, Gabriel_M . But I either did it wrong multiple times or it just doesn't work. I've given up trying any more with LO. Tomorrow after school I will try Inkscape and maybe Scribus as well, and I'll mark it "solved&q...

[SOLVED] LibreOffice: Text on an Arc
I just spent the last two hours trying to type some text - in a specific font - along a curved line. I searched, read articles, watched videos, and tried every single step suggested in every single article and video. And I've concluded that it can't be done in Libreoffice without an advanced degree ...

Re: Unleash the power of PDF4QT (open source PDF editor)
I still use Xournal for annotating pdfs. The only annoyance is that Xournal wants to save it as a "xdj" file... so I use the print-to-file feature to save the output to a new pdf.

Re: Proton VPn Mx Linux Xfce Problems [Solved]
It probably depends on systemd. It may work on MX-Linux with systemd enabled.
