I don’t have an extention on FF but whenever I copy a link there’s an option to also copy clean link. I’m not home, but I believe this is associated with my search engine being SearXNG.

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

Distro’s supported:

- Ubuntu
- Kubuntu
- Xubuntu
- Lubuntu
- Debian
- openSUSE
- Arch Linux
- Damn Small Linux
- SliTaz
- Linux Mint
- Zenwalk
- Slax
- Elive
- CentOS
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
- 3CX
- Fedora
- PCLinuxOS
- Sabayon Linux
- Gentoo
- MEPIS
- LinuxConsole
- Frugalware Linux
- xPUD
- Puppy Linux

It can be used to load various system utilities too, such as:

- Parted Magic
- SystemRescueCD
- Super Grub Disk
- Dr.Web Antivirus
- F-Secure Rescue CD
- Kaspersky Rescue Disk
- Backtrack
- Ophcrack
- NTPasswd
- Gujin
- Smart Boot Manager
- FreeDOS

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.

A trick I’ve learned for when this happens with SearXNG is to add “!web” to the search query. It provides a wider range of search engines and images, which specific ones can be selected in the settings. Like all things software, it takes a bit to adjust to a new interface but SearXNG allows users to control a lot more of the functionality.

Sorry it sounds like an add, swear to jah I’m just curious as it seems to have been around.

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.

Okular is amazing, this paired with Libre Office for PDF creation is how I do PDF production and editing. Okular has somewhat limited editing, so when converting scans/photos into a PDF I use KolourPaint for more detailed editing. It allows me to remove, add, or edit anything in a scan/photo before it’s converted into a PDF by Libre Office.

Bromite has been abandoned unfortunately, definitely worth thinking about another chromium backup browser for sure.

Cryptpad is worth trying out as a GoogleDocs alt too. It has excel and powerpoint along with word docs. Board.net is more straight forward, but it only offers word docs

I mean, once the journey starts it’s not long before Linux over MacOS or Windows is a no brainer. Being Android is Linux based allows for a degoolged option to be equivalent to a fork. But sure, iOS is more private and secure out the box vs Android, yet with a few minutes spent in settitngs, Android quickly wins out. Degoogling and FOSS options are two peas in a pod, so might as well also get a pixel with degoogled android and cover all basis.

Proton is the move, in combo with board.net for GoogleDocs and OpenStreetMaps for GMaps, you’ve degoogled more than most. Start using GrapheneOS instead of Android and you’ll damn near remove the big G from your day to day!

Exactly, sales isn’t easy but customer retention makes the job easier. If a customer has a great experience, they tend to be repeat customers and even tell their friends. Word of mouth undoubtedly being the most effective marketing method makes non pushy sales the best approach for sure.

True sales is just filling a need, sometimes the customer knows they need it but others are unaware of it. Good sales reps will not sell something unless it makes sense for everyone involved.

I got a sales job offer on the spot by first highlighting the limited use of a single pen and without extra’s on hand its negative business impacts. Then stated I had tons of pens available in my car and positioned selling them at least 100, but recommended they acquire 1000+ as this prevents potential issues plus gets them a better deal. Pretty solid approach in my experience.

I live solo and use Costco, just got to know what to buy there
