I just wish someone takes all the good things in evince (gnome's document viewer) and all the good things in Xournal++ and combines them to form an all in one libre pdf reader-annotator.

Can anyone tell me if Shift+Insert for "Paste" works in sway?
I can use it in i3 but not in sway.

Does anyone here know if it is possible to add flatpaks to PATH, so one doesn't need to type ridiculously long commands? I know, it's possible in Nix, but I Haven't found something similar for flatpaks.

@unix_discussions Also, flatpaks don't come with manpages.

I think all window manager teams should start developing a wayland clone in 2022. Wayland is still not 100% a replacement for X yet but it's improving fast and it should soon replace X.

Hello #fediverse
I have been trying to use (#debian) #linux with separate partitions for /home and couple of others. However, I have been facing the problem of /var becoming full and thus blocking further updates and installations. Most of the time deleting /var/log/auth.log would help but now I have messed up and can't startup lightdm and using it from another tty.
Can you guys share some tips and tricks as to avoiding this problem? I know keeping everything in one partition is one such trick. Anything else?

I don't use #calibre for #ebook management or reading. The only reason I have it is for converting files from #epub to #pdf and vice versa.
Does anyone know of any other tool which can do the same? Preferably commandline.

#unpopularopinion
It's more rewarding to make better apps for mobile #linux distros like #ubuntu_touch and #postmarketos and make them usable in existing Android devices than focusing on niche devices like #librem5 and #pinephone . At least that way, more people will use mobile linux as a secondary device.
