  • I had one of these I got it around 15ya but I never used it. I remember liking a particular aspect of it as if I had a specific use-case in which it would be handy but I can’t remember what that was.

    Anyways, I’ve been on the keepass bandwagon through multiple reboots of it’s software lineage along with Keepass2Android and I am satisfied.



  • I spent my time fighting AppImages until Canonical started to force Snap on me. I hated Snap so bad it forced me to switch distros. Now I appreciate Flatpak as a result and I don’t find AppImages all that bad, either. Also, I haven’t found myself in dependency-hell nor have I crashed my distro from unofficial Repos in well over a decade.

    -It’s a long way of saying It works for me and it’s not Snap.








  • It’s hard to remember but it was some version of Mandrake probably in the early 2000’s. At the time, they were one of the only distros (along with Red Hat) to offer an installation GUI. As a first time user I found partitioning a hard drive too complex to do on the command line.

    I only used Mandrake for a short time before reverting to windows but it wasn’t long after that when I came back and then started using Debian. Since then I went back to Windows then to OpenSuSe, then Debian, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and now Pop!_OS.




  • I usually only use it via command line, but that’s disappointing to hear that it’s no longer supported. I have used redshift-gtk in the past but I could never keep it functioning for very long, and I prefer KDE. It seems every alternative wants to automate it to synchronize with sunrise and sunset, but 90% of the time I use it is simply because my eyes are already aching. I wish there was another with an easy access on/off switch. The built-in functions require going into settings each time I want to change it and that’s just no good.
