Have you looked at typst? It’s a very promising LaTeX alternative.

Kbin, Mastodon, Signal, CryptPad, Bitwarden Libre Office, Paint.NET, OpenShot, Audacity, F-Droid

Dude paint.net is not opensource other than that I don’t know why you are being downvoted to oblivion.

LollerCorleone, 10 months ago

Oh that's my bad. I never actually realised that they are no longer open source. Am I being downvoted in lemmy.ml? If yes, then I have no idea why and don't really care lol. I would happily support each of the projects I mentioned.

• postmarketOS and the people porting Linux to phones
• Panfrost devs
• Nouveau/NVK
• Yuzu (to get better Intel Arc support on Linux)
• Libraries I use in OpenRGB

I already donate to one of the libraries I use on GitHub sponsors, also the box86 developer and a few others. I am donating to the UVTools developer as it was cheaper than paying for the shitty proprietary software subscription for my resin printer. I’ve donated to pmOS in the past as well as Debian and Arch.

PropaGandalf, 10 months ago

Agreed on the first one: We need more Linux phones!

MazonnaCara89, 10 months ago

The problem is that we don’t have much native apps like android and ios.

PropaGandalf, 10 months ago

waydroid is a good solution

MazonnaCara89, 10 months ago

Yes but it does have it’s downsides, for example it can consume more battery and more computational power to do the same tasks of a native app or it’s not compatible with every Android app out there.

PropaGandalf, 10 months ago

Sure but It works for the few apps I need (Banking, Public Transport). Also waydroid is not a vm but rather a container which reduces overhead.

Qutebrowser as I use it daily, and it is by far the best browser for me.

Massada42, 10 months ago

That awesome, I’ve been meaning to check the project out again. I love the keyboard centric nature.

iopq, 10 months ago
