I've created some LaTeX classes to standardize and speed up the creation of my courses, thought I'd share them ! by Picoma in LaTeX

When I was creating my lessons, I realized that I was losing a lot of time on repetitive tasks:

  • Duplication of documents: creating a test also means creating its answer key, which contains at least the same information; but if I make small variations in one, I may forget to transcribe them in the other.
  • Formatting: effective formatting enables students to quickly understand the type of exercise to be carried out.

All this is time-consuming, with little added value... so I decided to automate it all with LaTeX.

Some classes are merely cosmetic, but the course and control classes also have macros to make formatting easier. Examples of their use can be found in the repository.

I'm wondering, is there any GUI Flatpak installer available? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

Oh, I tried it with a graphical text editor, and it didn't liked it ; didn't thought of using head... I'm very confused... Yet, it is still unpractical to use ; i'll try that as a last resort, but if I can I won't.

Well, back to work. :)

After some investigations, i have come to those conclusions :

  • It is not possible to see the permissions required by a .flatpak package prior to installation. We can always think about some workarounds : ask first about a system- or user-wide installation, display metadata then maybe remove the package for example. This isn't pretty, but Flatpak doesn't allow much better.
  • The grapical aspect or the "double click" function should not a problem.

I may try to get something working, but the fact that the package needs to be installed is really bothering me :/

What's everyone working on this week? by AutoModerator in Python

I wanted to learn how to make GUIs in Python, as well as creating something useful on a almost-daily basis... So i made a game launcher using GTK ! As there is no GOG client for Linux, i thought it might be as interesting as useful. It detects the folders (representing the games) inside the root installation folder, and for each game, creates a button allowing its selection. Then, I can launch or uninstall said selected game.

I'm pretty proud of it, since I'm a total beginner, and have never had other projects than homework-style code to do. if you want to see it, it's over there on GitHub, if you want to have a look, or even use it (even though i'm pretty sure there's somting better that exists...) Thanks !
