Is there a way to assess which packages on my linux distribution aren’t open source? I’m planning on having a secondary machine which is exclusively open source, but not sure how I would go about ensuring that is the case.

Okay, after trying a few different options out I think we have a winner :) Firefox suits my needs the best, thanks for the suggestion

I’ll give it a shot and see if it’s compatible. Cheers

Not too familiar with it, in what way would you consider it better?

I’ll have to give it a try! Hopefully not too many dependencies :)

My use case is a pdf of a book which is meant to be read across two pages - wouldn’t work if it’s displaying pages 1 and 2 together instead of pages 2 and 3, if you see what I’m saying. Does Zathura allow for that?

I’m on XFCE, so was hoping for an alternative to Okular!

Thanks for pointing this out.

Not the only meme I fell for… Anyone know the best way to unload 5 thinkpads that originally shipped with Windows 7??

Arch wiki is superb, couldn’t have installed or configured Arch without it.

Makes sense. Do you find that by having the same install for so long (including transplanting it) that you have accumulated a lot of bloat? One of the things I really enjoyed about a fresh install was that I knew there wasn’t a build-up of digital junk files, but with Arch fresh installing every once in a while just seems impractical.

In a way this post is just long-form “I use Arch, btw” 🤯

Both :) Manual classic install doesn’t strike me as particularly complicated.
