  • I’m not from mac land, so I don’t know how much Preview does. I’ll comment on how its done in PC land.

    • PDF’s have been handled by web browsers for a while now. Firefox will open and offer basic editing capabilities. Comes pre-installed on most distros.
    • Images are handled by the DE’s default image previewer which usually has rudimentary editing capabilities. Installed by default.

    Or you can get other apps that handle PDF’s and images.
    Switching to linux means switching to other applications. You aren’t getting Preview and you aren’t getting Safari. You get other software that does the same things.









  • Heh, I loved most of the movies mentioned in the comments and I love old movies. I was expecting a lot more obscure cinema, not Godfather.
    More controversially, I did find Lynch to be a boring film maker. I thought his more mainstream titles like The Straight Story (which I loved) or Elephant Man were the better of his work.
    Also thought Yasujiro Ozu was pretty boring. I get his point, and I get how he plays with movement with smoke and wind and every scene is well thought out, but I couldn’t get behind the stories he was trying to tell.


  • Like I did 25 years ago. We’d all use more different websites and that would be it. I’ll gladly take these giant corpos for granted because if they disappeared, the market would not disappear with them. There would be others which would replace them and in the beginning, they would all be small companies or community driven efforts. A glory to behold.

    What do you really think there corporations can offer that can’t be replaced by anyone else? Shit, google in the 90’s was two guys in a garage and ebay was someone’s old computer used as a server and it worked. It can all be replaced.
