What I would like instead is a browser that treats tabs more like virtual machines that you can roll back, suspend to disk and resume. Little package of data that get frozen in time and are externally searchable.
Maybe look at ArchiveBox. IIRC it has pretty much everything you ask for including an import from your browser history and bookmarks.
I’m not going to tell you that you’re managing your information wrong. I would physically die if I had ever more than 20 tabs (my ADHD couldn’t handle it).
But I think you might be using the wrong tool. A browser (like Firefox) is not really designed as an information manager. It’s primary purpose is navigating and visualizing web pages. So when you talk about “a few megabytes of text and images” thats not what your browser sees. Your browser handles more than just the text and images. It also handles fetching and prefetching, a browser history for every tab, a JS context and much much more.
What you want is some kind of personalized archiving system that processes websites into machine processable (ie searchable) structures. Firefox is not that. Maybe data hoarder communities will have the answers you seek.
Only 1 concurrent player per copy in the family library. So to play together you’d still have to both buy the game.
That and of course Slay The Spire, IMHO peak rogue like deck builder.
You can turn down everything to minimal (so maximal battery life) and have a perfect playing experience with that.
While it technically works it has massive issues.
After every patch I can play 1 match. Then I get kicked because some random file has a version mismatch. From there on the game will not let me back into the lobby screen because of version mismatches.
I’ve tried deleting the proton prefix, reinstalls on various ssds and hdds, different proton versions…
And it’s definitely an Apex issue since a ton of other EAC games work just fine for me.
The only thing that actually works reliably is booting to Windows and playing it from there for me.
Also: Hello Officer. No I wear these zebra stripes on my clothing and the googly eyes on the back of my hat for religious reasons, not to confuse your drone swarm. What do you mean I’m under arrest?
You don’t. The only thing you need their permission for is to work with them (by putting something in their stores). I feel it’s reasonable to give them that power.
Matlab exists for Linux and is the same as on Windows. LibreOffice is a fully functioning office suit for Linux.
I can’t speak to SOLIDWORKS, their website only lists a windows version. There is however some community work being done here https://github.com/cryinkfly/SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux And it looks like they have it running.
Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are listed on that github, you should probably start with either one of those.
For a complete beginner I’d recommend Ubuntu, since it’s a solid distro with huge wealth on online support available.
Another reason to use Logitech mice: ease of repair. Apart from skates covering the screws on the underside, Logitech does not use glue to keep it’s mice together. And due to their popularity, replacement parts (including the battery btw) are widely available even for older models.
