Hmm, Kate has a feature called “Sessions”, which might be able to do that.
You can create just one session and then in the settings, set it to always load that session:
Well, and there are those two checkboxes, which I’ve also marked. The “Newly-created unsaved files” sounds like what you want, but seems to be broken on my system. It just reopens an empty file for me. Is that also broken for you?
As others have already said, Kate should work as text editor. I think, the only thing that’s not built-in is base64 en-/decoding, but you can set that up like this:
That’s for decoding. For encoding, just change the name to “base64 encode” (exact name doesn’t matter) and remove the “–decode” from the Arguments-field.
This relies on a CLI utility called base64, which is going to be pre-installed on most distros.
It’s not entirely perfect, because it’ll always insert a newline, as that’s part of the base64 output. If you do want to get rid of that, you could write a tiny script and then call that script instead, but obviously, you don’t have to.
You can also install Kate on Windows, if you want to give it a test-ride: https://kate-editor.org/
(The base64 CLI won’t be available on Windows, though.)
My workplace preinstalls Ubuntu, personally I’m using openSUSE. I don’t even think that Ubuntu is particularly bad, I’m mainly frustrated with it, because it’s just slightly worse than openSUSE (and other distros) in pretty much every way.
It’s less stable, less up-to-date, less resilient to breakages. And it’s got more quirky behaviour and more things that are broken out-of-the-box. And it doesn’t even have a unique selling point. It’s just extremely mid, and bad at it.
Yeah, the distro installer even allows you to fully customize which packages should be installed, if you fancy that.
Firefox won’t be able to do this without Thunar supporting it, but someone else already posted that Thunar does support it.
Many people grew up playing Flash games and may want to revisit those. I doubt, there’s many websites out there, which still require Flash…
Sounds like it, yeah.

Yeah, I find the similarity most striking with LibreOffice Draw vs. LibreOffice Writer. It very much feels like Draw is just a superset of the features of Writer.
There is certainly some differences, though, e.g. text doesn’t automatically overflow onto new pages, text boxes don’t automatically increase in size, things like that.
Everything is a lot more static, which is great for layout, and less great, if you just need to type out some text.
Nah, I dislike all the other people using Excel. I once saw it used for providing a deployment configuration, which then got parsed from that Excel and pushed into a repo. Like, goddamn, just let me edit the repo directly.
There’s so-called desktop publishing software.
In the open-source world, I typically see Scribus recommended.
Yes? Again, I’m not saying there’s not going to be disagreements or politics, I’m just saying that it’s going to be less loaded than Linux kernel politics.
Yeah, I did read that, admittedly after making my comment, but thanks for pointing it out anyways. 🙂
You don’t need to always be of the same opinion for it to be much less loaded than Linux politics…
There’s Redox OS already headed in that general direction.
There’s also this tutorial: https://os.phil-opp.com

It certainly looks a lot like Helvetica. Probably could be any of these Helvetica clones:
I will also say that it feels a lot like Inter to me, which it’s not as the i-dots aren’t round, but maybe you’ll enjoy that one anyways…
I think what really bothers me about the aesthetics is that the shapes are broken up by the coloration. For example, the pin icon for Google Maps looks almost like a hook, because the yellow has little contrast on this white background.
I’m rather guessing the other way around. Because they can’t directly extract money from this, they can’t justify to their shareholders to sit down full-time devs. Instead, this is a project solely run by interns and student.
A VLAN is very different from a VPN.
With VLANs, you can separate traffic that goes over the same physical wire.
With a VPN, on the other hand, you can connect devices from anywhere on the planet, as if they were in the same LAN, which bypasses firewalls, NAT and all that crap. Presumably, you want a VPN.
