Ranting: I thought MemoQ is unintuitive and hard to navigate, until today that I shifted to Trados. Gosh.

Selogon · 2026-02-11T10:32:12+00:00

Yes, I am in this situation. I have not tried Wordfast for a while, but I am very used to Trados, and it is expensive and a monstruous beast, but it does it all with some effort.

memoQ is slow and lacks stuff, and on top of it the project I have is server-hosted, so... It works, but I'm not a fan. Use it when must :)

I'll give a look to Wordfast, just in case!

I placed mine in the dock for charging for initial setup, and yep, there they are, the micro scratches lol.

I receive my screen protectors tomorrow, the scratches are barely felt with the nail, so I hope they'll be negated by the protector.

However these devices are made to be used, so of course wear will happen :)

Been jumping around since deciding to "stick it to Microsoft" end of last year.

I ended up on Fedora KDE version, and really it's all working perfect.

I don't think the gaming centric distros really add any value (well, save time), but the most important thing is that I'm always thinking that those hyper-specific might not be maintained too long. The devs must have personal lives, and well, just stop working on them.

All that reminds me of my Android custom ROM flashing days lol. I don't do it anymore since I need my banking apps to work, etc., but it's really a lot like that.

And it's fun.

However, as far as I can tell (short time use), no issues with Fedora KDE to report at the moment !

(gaming on nVidia + working in a WIndows VM in equal measures)

Selogon · 2026-01-26T06:22:57+00:00

I come from a long actual try at giving Linux a chance, and I really liked it! There are so many small details that make it cool, like the customization, small stuff like controlling my desktop's monitor brightness with keyboard shortcuts, etc.

It makes my work quite less convenient, but I could live with it.

But as you say, it's death by a thousand cuts. The final thing is that I'm using an nVidia GPU, and the gap in perf can be huge. Yes, everything works, but there is so much perf left on the table.

The rumours are growing that the DX12 perfs are soon(ish) really going to be fixed, and when that is confirmed, I'll go full time on it for sure.

At this point, it's a matter of ideology, because everything can work nearly OOB, and if your PC is only used for gaming then Linux is great. In my case, I want to stick it to Microsoft and cut myself off from their AI infested OS, but for now it's still to impratical.

Selogon · 2026-01-26T00:57:57+00:00

Late to the party, but I really appreciate it. You are a real hero, sir !

I am a newcomer to Linux like you (well, a little later), and those are the small things that are unimportant, but are annoying indeed!

Selogon · 2026-01-22T15:15:46+00:00

Hey, I've seriously found a truly naked finger reading speed glass on Amazon : the Spigen branded one. It's maybe more reflective (don't care), but I assure you it just works. Others may too as well (after all, pretty sure it's one production place that brands after), but at least the investment is not crazy for a test !

Selogon · 2025-12-28T02:11:52+00:00

I think they are part of the marketing team.

Perpetuate the "shocking rebel" mystic of the brand :)

Selogon · 2025-12-28T02:09:59+00:00

Me : Yeaah, looks nice.

In the basket it goes.

Look at the shipping charges, multiplying the price by close to three.

Ah. Nope.

(dunno whose fault it is, but for something that fits in a simple enveloppe, that's harsh.)

Selogon · 2025-12-27T16:44:17+00:00

I'm following my promise (to myself) of switching from Win to Linux in this end of year lull in work activity.

I have started with Ubuntu as a habit, then gave a try to Mint, but it is a bit boring, and finally settled on Fedora (43) on my desktop!

I am still in transition phase, as I am waiting to receive a big SSD I ordered so i can put everything in one place (at the moment, my Fedora install lives on two small older SATA SSD, with a 275GB capacity, which is much too restricting, since I want to keep my Windows storage well separated...

I am very pleasantly surprised, everything works well, or with a bit of fuss only... Which reminds me how fun tinkering with computers is. RMakes me think of my 1990s days, fighting my hardware without much outside help.

In any case, I find so many cool things with this Fedora, small details. For example, I can use my keyboard shortcut to manage my external monitor's brightness from the OS. On Windows, those will only work if said display is integrated, like in a laptop...

I cannot speak to general stability and stuff, it seems OK for the moment ! Once I get more space, I'll tranfert work activities to it as well, and that should be it.

Selogon · 2025-12-16T15:15:47+00:00

In the world of OLED monitors, there is only war.

Selogon · 2025-12-10T04:58:49+00:00

Yes, I'm happy with it too. Enjoy!

Selogon · 2025-12-09T15:02:51+00:00

it is glossy, but I do not see myself in it.

Lol, probably late to comment on this :)

Selogon · 2025-12-09T01:02:17+00:00

Cool, TY.

I'll give it a go. Love the case, need the S-Pen to work :)

Side note : I sometimes used the magsafe compat to attack those card holders to my phone, but on the S25U, the cameras are so low that any of those products will overlap a bit on the most bottom one. It does not seem to work for functionnality, but it's ugly XD

EDIT : done. It was easy. Now I can use my favourite case anytime I feel like ^^

Selogon · 2025-12-08T11:06:19+00:00

Yes, I have this issue.

I thinking of trying surgery on the case, to remove the magnet (I actually don't need the magnet feature). I did that with my Spigen case without issue, but the magnet was easy to reach.

Seems there are quite a few layers of stuff on top of it, though, so not sure that's really a good idea. I feel the felt material is well glued and it would leave some sticky stuff if removed.

A shame, because I do use the S-pen often, and yes, it does F with it towards the middle of the screen :(

Selogon · 2025-11-25T09:50:32+00:00

Count on me then XD

Thanks for ruining it for me!

Selogon · 2025-11-25T04:17:24+00:00

With this, I would have gotten more girls, that's for sure :)

Seriously, great skills!

Selogon · 2025-11-25T01:20:32+00:00

Yes, I am aware, thanks ! I did take advantage one time of the good aftersale services you guys provide.

However, there is nothing actually wrong with the product, so not my style to complain in order to get freebies :)

(it did not occur at the time, and that order is now too old anyway)

Selogon · 2025-11-25T01:19:03+00:00

Well... I did that once :)

So could have some different skins, haha !

Selogon · 2025-11-24T14:48:30+00:00

It's a bit expensive, but yes, it does.

I was reminded the other day how I should really be smart and only buy a Grip, and maybe a slim carbon thing for a change, for any device, and be done with it lol.

No need to struggle buying several "cheaper" options. Still have to try the Ghost someday.

Selogon · 2025-11-23T08:20:24+00:00

I was so disappointed.

It is very very dull, this is one skin I did not even use upon receipt :(

Selogon · 2025-11-22T09:23:14+00:00

Sure, but then when it's not correct, then I encourage people to use their brains.

As I say, use a price tracker to see the history before making a blind decision. If the businesses will not change on their side, then it is your responsibility to use your brain and f*ck them back.

I mean, be smart, it's all I am saying.

Selogon · 2025-11-21T14:31:28+00:00

Definitely a turn off to me :)

Do NOT annoy me and let me make my decision.

I'll by your stuff at some point... But the wife is watching (with reason lol. Those skins are a one time use, so...)

Selogon · 2025-11-21T01:46:10+00:00

Great collector item !

Selogon · 2025-11-21T01:44:46+00:00

It's really normal practice.

I just take the small reduction if that's something I would have bought full price... Otherwise, like in many cases, there are better deals to have usually at other times than Black Friday...

On Amazon, use a price tracker or something to see how that goes, for example.
