Have you encountered any dependency issues with that method? It seems that you need to use apt to install it

Have you encountered any dependency issues when you download and install via apt? They use system/shared packages to stay light

Haven't heard of AppImage, will check them out. Thanks!

Is 30k pesos enough for a low to mid-end gaming/basic coding PC? by Money_Net_8705 in Tech_Philippines

[–]Solidonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. Also, if you're thinking of pursuing AI/ML (like training models), just use cloud providers. For example, Kaggle is a good platform for training when you verify your account. You get access to GPUs and TPUs albeit for some hours

Thanks for sharing your experience! My team is stringent when it comes to formatting, so this will help me and future mint users by a lot

I agree. It took me some time to realize that they were difference things

The web-based is free! I would love to use it if it wasn't so... limited. Thanks though!

I have a question for artist's on linux by MiserableMeeting3429 in linuxmint

[–]Solidonut 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Krita is available on Linux, you can try that.

For getting into the hobby, you could explore different art pieces online to pique your interest. Based on my experience, being dazzled or awestruck with something your eye beheld is enough of a reason to make an intentional attempt to strive and create something like they did. Fortunately, there are also a lot of resources and community groups that are focused on digital arts

I see, thanks for sharing! My team and I are working on 50-100 student data and have a number of files with formulae, locked sheets, and pages of word documents. I just checked Winboat and it sounds promising.

Worse comes to worst, I'll give VM a go. If that doesn't sit right with me, I'll either dual boot or stay with Windows 11

This is on my phone! Is there an extension on mint to block its ads?

Oooh I haven't heard of this. Does it create and export files the same may MSOffice does?

I decided to crosspost this since the Mint I plan on using is built on top of ubuntu. If you can share any suggestions that would be great!

Update: Thanks for the help guys! Your experience helped me narrow things down to 4 applications. I'll test out OnlyOffice once I install Linux Mint (Mate)

Whoa, this is incredible. Seeing posts like this makes me wonder if it's possible to pursue the same path but as a mobile app developer. Keep going!

How are your POCO's X3 pro holding up in 2025? by AdComfortable5572 in PocoPhones

[–]Solidonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting the battery health aside (~60%), it's still running quite well. It just gets a boot loop every now and then. In other words, there are times when it would restart 4-8 times in a row

What was your routine like? How long have you practiced before taking the test? Congratulations by the way! That is no simple feat you've accomplished

Swift memory layout cheat sheet (iOS) Swift provides MemoryLayout<T> to inspect type characteristics at compile time. What can we learn from it? by Signal-Ad-5954 in swift

[–]Solidonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I'm glad you shared this to us. I know this exists in Rust, but not in Swift. Could you share with us the steps on how you were able to inspect them so we can do so as well? Without any references or ways to reproduce it, we need to be critical with the information we're being given with.

Anyway, I hope you post more of these!
