Just paste the images into a word processor then convert them to a PDF, this at least keeps the PDF instead of JPEGs.

I think that’s just in the settings. Select edit profile in the settings menu and then to change the text color, you’ll find many options under the appearance tab, hope this helps!

Oh, I see, ya that’s a bit above my pay grade. I just got a setup which looks clean and stuck with it lol. But let me know what your think of the layout!

You’ll have to excuse my ignorance, I’m just not to sure, isn’t changing to Underworld and Bali altering the GTK theme? I use Breeze Dark, then Underworld, Bali’s Black, and still playing with different icons. Currently Griffin Ghost is my choice, plus the high contrast cursor.

That’s the one, Underworld paired with Bali10050 for coloring is the best KDE dark mode setup in my book.

Underworld > Oxygen, at least for my tastes!!

UNetbootin could be cool, it’ll provide access to mamy iso’s instead of just one.

The KDE spin has x11, KDE is my go to DE everytime. So assumed that layer I guess.

But Fedora is upstream of Alpine, right?

Heck ya to Fedora, glad to see it recommended for a first time user. It’s not much more difficult than Mint, but you can also get into the weeds instead of having to find a new distro after Mint. Mint basically has permanent training wheels, while with Fedora you can pop em off whenever it’s convient.

Edit: Fedora is also a more up to date Alpine and it’s not directly controlled by Red Hat.

Just going off how things are setup in the KDE spin, the tracker is what allows you to search and find files on the machine. Disabling it would most likely make it tough to find files. But I’m not familiar with gnome just to be clear. I’d say report it and hopefully someone else can provide better detail.

It’s quite an easy program to install and it’s also cross platform. The fact drives need the softwarenon aNY PC trying to gain access seems like a feature to me. Maybe if you wanted to copy something from the encrypted drive to a friends computer, only then would it be somewhat of a nuisance. But this all ties into me recommending to leave some portion of the hard drive alone. You’d be able to access anything not in VC’s space anywhere, while it’s also a breeze to download and install VC too.

If things are still the same from ~ June of 2022 then you have a choice between none, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, Linux Ext4, and NTFS.

Edit: VeraCrypt utilizes a unique encryption process. Its easy as you just move the mouse around like you went mad, but this produces a highly secure encryption key too. As long as your distro works with NTFS then it seems VeraCrypt can assist to help you encrypt. Otherwise, when Windows is a VM it only can do what Linux allows it to do lol

Depending on your specific situation, it could be a solid option to just jump in to whatever distro covers your needs best and just run Windows in a VM. On a current Linux device which previously ran windows, throw this in the terminal:

sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

and it will source the old Windows product key. You can also just jot down the key by pulling it up in Windows too. But regardless of how it’s handled, it makes the VM setup an easier process for sure!

VeraCrypt is the only company I use when it comes to encrypting external drives. Depending on what distro you use, you’ll just have to select the proper file format. Aside from that, maybe encrypt 90% of the drive so there’s some space for a few things which you can access without mounting the drive. When you go through the setup in VeraCrypt, it directly asks if the drive will be used with one or different systems, so they got you covered there. You can also find many video walk throughs online to follow along with as well.

Why switch platforms if all your data is still being collected? This just provides another business with your data to sell and possibly have hacked. Sure, Telegram offers encryption, but it’s not enabled by default even though they advertise it thoroughly. This demonstrates they’re taking advantage of peoples desire for privacy simply to increase their user base while making the users + contacts do all the work.

As far as file sharing, with ProtonDrive I can use any messaging service and send a 500GB file if I wanted, fully encrypted with password protection and an expiration date. Telegram keeping the files forever doesn’t seem like a benefit either.

Cryptpad.fr is a fantastic full replacement for Google Office Suite. Open sourced, encrypted, but only comes with 1GB of storage on the free plan. You can pay to add more and its reasonably priced. It provides excell, powerpoint, and word. I like using board.net at times too. It’s FOSS as well but only provides a word equivalent. A little more straight forward in my experience for others.

Screw shower thoughts, where’s shitter thoughts!?!

Learning to live with a disorder is an amazing step in the process. If depression was easy to eliminate, the world would be a much different place
