As someone already pointed out, try to increase font size first.

I personally use a Vector layer and put text there (not sure if it even works in paint layer). For making it bigger you can then just grab the corner with Select Shapes Tool and resize it. If it doesn’t work, enable Scale Styles in the Tool Options docker.

I recently tried Yabridge. It still needs a lot of work, but many plugins seem to work well there (if we ignore often broken UI and temporary fixes that aren’t for everyone). Still pretty much WIP, but probably the best way to run plugins.

I am used to using middle mouse button to move canvas in both Krita and Inkscape. I know that it would be a silly default to just use it for movement, but countless missclicks in LibreOffice are reason good enough to be at least ocassionally frustrated over the default.

I have no idea what they’re up to, but I hope they don’t ruin one of the few good free photo editing apps on the PlayStore. I do use Image Toolbox for most of the stuff nowadays, since it’s foss, but the performance on my lower end device just wasn’t great. Good time to try it on there again I guess.

If it doesn’t have to be vector, you may check out Krita. It is very Photoshop-like.

Afaik Inkscape has quite limited use for pressure sensitivity (I found one tool in the app that uses it, and it wasn’t really for me). As long as the device can be used as a pointer it will work at least as one.

Even though freehand strokes seem intuitive, it is often hard to optimize them. If you want clean and as simple paths as possible, just use bezier curves and node tool. This is how I usually do it.

As far as other free(mium) software goes I recall that Apple has its own program that used to go under name Vectornator. It should be called Linearity Curve now. Maybe also chceck Affinity. Those may have better use for pressure.

If you want something for notetaking, look into Xournal++ and Rnote. Xournal++ produces more optimized strokes, while Rnote is newer and has a bit different approach.

Same here.

Also, if you plan to put it inside during the print, try to preheat any metal you want to use. But make sure the heights roughly match, because the plastic will cool slower and distort more.

Personally, I use FreeCAD. I kinda like the unintuitivness a bit. You have to watch a few tutorials and read the wiki or manual, and getting into the whole workbench stuff and what can be used where thing. But in the end you are less likely to mess up so badly as two of my classmates on a 3D printing related subject once did. They extruded literal side planes only and used poorly made sketch with no calibration or constraints whatsoever. They also used wrong tab in Fusion for that, so they wasted like 4 hours, because the software had no reason to warn them and they had no reason to look for answers. In FreeCAD, they wouldn’t even get past creation of the sketch. I didn’t when I tried it out for the first time. : )

Also, I find some UI elements in FreeCAD to be better than in Fusion. The only way that I could find to have some variables was to open a dialog window that I can’t just deselect and then come back when needed. In FreeCAD I can either use Spreadsheet or VarSet.

And the best thing was performance. My laptop was really struggling to run Fusion even in a window that was barely 720p. FreeCAD has no issue runnin on 4k external screen even though I only have integrated Intel GPU.

For me personally, FreeCAD is the winner. But feel free to use whatever you like. There’s even a project that aims to run Fusion on Linux. You can check that if you prefer that. Although a friend of mine had some trouble getting it to work 100%.

Works, but it definitely is not a solution for everyone. There are people who live in areas where it is too far to ride on a bike (and slow) and using public transport takes 2-3 times longer than by car. Especially some areas near cities.

Also, in all honesty, not having bios access or well documented UEFI settings is bigger pain. Searching how to disable autoboot on lid opening was fun.

I was lucky enough to have a chip that’s compayible with brcfmac one. So on vanilla Arch it works out of the box. On some distros, they load a different module, that does not work with my chip, so I had to fix that way back when using Enedavour OS.

I usually go with Krita. Not because of the UI, i just learnt to use it first and like it. Or Inkscape for vector graphics.

Neprekvapilo by ma, keby software čo používajú bol písaný v Jave. Ideálne 8 alebo dákej podobne starej verzii.

I experienced something simmilar. Authors, comedians and actors were mostly from our or neighbouring states, and man were they brilliant. In my case it was rather a kind of comedy, that was heavily relying on spoken word, but those guys really knew their craft.

I do almost all raster work in Krita. Aside for drawing, I find it more than usable for photo editing. You just have to play around long enough to get the muscle memory and learn a few tricks.

I guess it depends on everyone’s preferences.

I am currently using Floorp, which also adds plenty of features. Haven’t tried Zen yet, but it looks interesting.

Currently studying Computer Engineering. I did manage to get most stuff working without needing Windows.

It came usually at the cost of extra work, but I’d say it was worth it. So far I even got to writing makefiles for C++ projects targetting some Atmel chip (Microchip Studio is Windows only). And in some cases I even found better tools than what they privided us with.

Unless you need some very very specific program or run into some wierd constrains you will be fine.

At first I thought it was a DIY guitar pick holder. Anyway, nice job.
