I think this is the point of Debian stable, and also why some devs hate Debian stable.

Your question, “What features does the Windows version of Calibre have that the Linux version not have?” cannot be answered without accepting an unargued premise: that the windows version has more features than the Linux version.

No one was saying that, so your question is begging the question.

That is what begging the question means in the uk, unless I’m mistaken.

Some context, which you may or may not be aware of, that makes the original comment funny, is that recently, Calibre, which had been a very boring piece of software, has started including a bunch of AI features. So there are some new forks that intend to make a drop in replacement for Calibre without the unwanted features.

That works for things that are installed via the app store, but I install things from other sources as well.

I don’t know what you mean by platforms, but if the software I want is not in the app store, I usually go to their website and see how the developers recommend installing it.

Sometimes I download an appimage. Sometimes I download a .deb. Sometimes the developer wants me to wget directly into sudo (yuck) sometimes I have to clone a github repo, rarely these days do I have to download a source tarball and make compile, but maybe I get some old software that works that way.

Sometimes it is confusing because the software I installed (e.g. Steam) has the preferred way from the website different from the version in the app store (Steam-launcher or whatever). The problem is I don’t remember which method I used to install what.

In my imagination, I open the universal uninstaller, and start typing the app. As I type it shows suggestions. If I select it, it tells me how I installed it (downloaded a deb from their website, etc.,) then the next click takes me to the correct uninstall method.

What is screenwriting?

Markdown is so crazy that it is supported everywhere on the Web yet there are no good desktop apps to do what you describe.

I use one from the snap store that let’s you go back and forth like you describe, but to change the font or print you have to expoet to a different format…

I forget what it is called but it is a gnome app.

Begging the question?

A universal uninstaller.

Now that Ubuntu has apt, snap, ~/bin, flatpak, appimages, etc, when I want to disable, update, or, uninstall an app, I can’t quickly figure out where it is or how to do that. So a program that starts with ‘which appname’ or something more clever to find it, which also told you what type of installation method it was and then let you remove it with the next action.

For example I had Desktop Docker installed which was garbage, and I didn’t remember how I had installed it. In that case you couldn’t use ‘which’ because that’s not the name of the executable, so you’d have to design something smarter that could search .desktop files or whatever.

Good luck with your project!

I would like to go this route, but I’m really confused about how to do it legally, or even in a gray area sense. I once purchased a Windows 10 Pro license. I’m not sure if that entitles me to being able to install Windows in a VM, but I would really like to do this to run some Windows-only applications that don’t seem to work in WINE

Thanks for the link! In my opinion if people are learning about Open Source every time this comes up, it should only be the misinfo that gets removed, or they should just make a megathread for FUTO and moderate mentions everywhere else.

It might be a discussion the mods have seen n times, but for lots of us who aren’t online all the time, it was the first time, and we got removed with no warning.

Its so disconcerting to come back to your discussion and see everything removed.

Why is there so much removed in these comments?

Sounds good to me! I know that some people prefer free software for the public good and some are ok with commercial use for attracting corporate investment, like Linux.

What is the difference?

Is there a version of this we app that is not FUTO?

There is one big friendly button to add place to osm in comaps

Thanks for the update, I’m kind i’m afraid to boot into Windows 10 on my dual boot machine, but luckily I haven’t needed to for anything.

Linux Torvalds recently said he doesn’t try to worryabout privacy just tries to be as boring as possible (on ltt) and I thought that’s pretty harmful advice.

Windows 10 isn’t getting security updates any more so there’s a chance you were affected by an exploit either that day or a different time.

Thanks for the explanation. I’m just curious how island is different from shelter and insular.

For me, I have both of them.

co-maps I use when I need to add a place to open street map, and OSMAND I use for features that co-maps doesn’t have.

Basically, co-maps is easier to use for things that it can do and OSMAND is harder to use but can do more things/different things.

Nice this uses a local model of birdNET?
