Merry Christmas everybody. About a week ago I got really annoyed with Windows 10 interrupting and interfering while trying to do a forced install of "Creators Upgrade" or whatever. So I just blew the whole thing away and went Linux. I saved all my source code but getting open source IDE's up and running has been kind of a dependency hell. Anyhoo - everything is cooking right now. The attached was formatted by the Linux version of Gnumeric. The links may not be clickable - for me I have to open the pdf in Opera (cntrl-o). Probably the same in Chrome. Not Firefox - you have to highlight the link and right-click for "open link in new window) or something. Dunno - still horsing with it.

The only utility that I miss right now is IrfanView which doesn't have a linux version. It's got great batch processing options. So I'm gonna have to look into stuff like Gimp. I found an excellent editor Geany which does a great job with the three languages I mostly use - C, Pascal, Python. The other stuff was easy to replace. This browser I'm using - "Chromium" - is quick and clean like Opera, but seems less buggy. It's just a lot of fun making this all work.Congrats on the port to Linux! I have been considering it too and will probably do the same thing when Win7 becomes obsolete. If you don't mind, let us know if you miss anything.

This flavor of linux I have (Mint) has a pretty good setup for installing popular software. I had Audacity installed with one mouse click. It works just like the PC version. The widget fonts seem small but maybe I can do something about that.I'm in a band (amateur) and we record using Audacity. I assume that my old recording projects will work when I port to the Linux version. - It's that kind of stuff that makes me apprehensive.

OK so it's open source so I guess it's OK to play with it as long as you don't upload your changes. Here's what the numbers looked like before (really tiny) -

And then by changing two numbers we get this -

Which I totally prefer. Here's the changes ( I just doubled the two dimensions) -
