Krita can do some vector stuff, but you’re right, it’s better suited for raster workflows. Inkscape would be the Illustrator equivalent.

Kate, Geany and Micro are already pretty good.

I’d argue that they’re even better than Notepad++. There’s certainly no shortage of editors on Linux…

I already have a story I can share. Please do!

I use a digital journal (Logseq) backed by write-only git repositories, syncthing and the 3-2-1 backup rule. This contains info about my days, struggles, friends and family and regular introspection.

Photos and videos usually get carried over from one phone to the other, synced with my home server, also 3-2-1 backup rule, and every 3y I’ll archive stuff to free up space.

Interesting knowledge usually gets shared by me via https://wiki.tilde.fun/. I often link it to friends and colleagues when they ask me to explain stuff. Sometimes I also copy articles I write for corporate knowledge bases after work into my wiki in a more sophisticated form. I tend to not cater to 5-year-olds in my personal wiki, but it’s inevitable in a corpo setting where you have people with no experience at all.

How do you do it?

It doesn’t have LAN multiplayer sadly.

You didn’t explain anything, this is not a Linux post and I don’t even remotely understand the question. Downvoted and reported, sorry.

The natively compiled version?

There’s videos from Kaze Emanuar which are quite interesting about it:

The new Gimp 3.0 is quite a lot better than the last versions for digital art. Maybe try it again?

A GUI for Mozilla SOPS to use it as a password manager.

Sorry, I died

You, uh, didn’t turn multiplayer off in your options, did you?

Ha, good question, but I specifically made sure I enabled it. In fact, last year I could play with friends on the same installation. Something must have changed, but trying to find it is like finding a needle in a needlestack.

I can’t see any bases either.

multiplayer was fine on my work computer, but did not work on my home PC. It’s a constant dumpster fire.

Jesus Christ, so much this. I had so many issues with Multiplayer. After so many years they ought to have fixed this.

Regular Arch. My Steam Deck has the same network and works fine.

It used to work fine. Idk what changed since I played last, but reinstalling several times, deleting all files I could find, didn’t fix it.

Thought maybe it’s the file system but doesn’t make a difference between xfs, ext4, ext3 and btrfs.

Proton doesn’t really affect networking and focuses more on Graphics

Proton actually contains quite a lot of libraries, some responsible for networking.

firewall

Not really, I have IPv6, a regular consumer router and no client side firewall. The Steam deck is in the same network.

other games

Work fine. Never had issues with online functionality. Palia, CS2, Satisfactory, Warframe, BG3, GW2, Forza Horizon 4+5, … all work fine

Installed via pacman.

Yeah, I have a QL-570 and it works fine.

I paid $460 USD for mine, shortly before the import tariffs were implemented.

It’s 610€ for me. Isn’t this thing coming from China? Why is it so expensive in the EU? 🤔

I’m not a capitalist, I don’t care about outages. I can live with Facebook being down for a few days, or my bank not accepting transfers for a day or so. Then again, I grew up with the internet in the 90s and prioritise good software and tools over availability, I guess?

Obviously at my job I have to do what my employer thinks. But if nobody cared I’d definitely do our Gitlab upgrades once a week once they’re out and not in some weird “maintenance window” mandated by SLAs and stakeholders.
