So far, today was my least favorite #LinuxJourney day. I did't figure out `psql -U posrgres database < stuff `. Smth peer connection. Found tutorials, tried, didn't work. Workaround by DBeaver. Then I painfully discovered that Python gives very, very confusing errors, when you run code meant for 3.14 on 3.12. WDYM, class Entry is not found in the file it is defined 🤦. Thats mostly on me. When I stoped trying wrong things, setting up virtual environment wasn't that bad, tho PyCharm did a glitch.

It seams that neither Kate, nor KWrite (nor Sublime Text which I also I've some experience with) has ability to show various nonstandart hidden symbols. Newlines and other stuff Notepad++ hides in View/Show Symbol menu. I don't need it that often, but when I need it, it's a lifesaver, because problems related to that are incredibly pesky. So... I added Notepad++ on Wine and I'm still in search for my perfect text editor.

I was ready to panic, but I successfully installed my country's e-signature with a second try! (There is a hardly visible link to a huge manual in the download page. One page of that monster contains relatively new Ubuntu instructions.)

Also, Kate looks like a promising replacement for Notepad++, thus, so far I have avoided wine-ing and proton-ing stuff on my work/life-admin computer. However, keepass2 is growing unstable, will have to do something in that department eventually.

Yesterday on my #LinuxJourney: couldn't get to work Double Commander's FTP plugin to autenthicate me with my SSH keys. Maybe the format of the public key was wrong, but why it even needs it, if neither Filezilla, nor SSH itself does. When I gave up on that pursuit, setting up Filezilla for 3 connections with different bookmarks was maybe 15 minutes total.

Also changed the icon of the "start" menu from Mint logo to a little heart. Didn't found a rainbow.

My #LinuxJourney is going as expected – ups and downs. On the one hand, I spent half a day and didn't figure out, how to fix that some apps are not scaling with the rest, the ant-sized text hurts. Might be something X11 and Wayland related, but does Cinnamon even uses Wayland?! The more I searched, the more confused I got. Sadly one of these programs are KeePass2, but I absolutely refuse security apps, where LLM-generated code is allowed, no XC for me.

Oh no, perl's Tk has broken on me again 😱

I really hoped that #LinuxJourney will absolve me from mysteriously uninstallable perl dependencies, but nooooo.

Bless past me who made a virtual machine for that one tool that I need and that depends on Tk. Went to check, what is the config there... same Tk, older perl. So, lets try perlbrew.

Will see how it goes next week but so far it seems that by far the biggest problem in my Linux journey will be hibernation. Not only that it seems to be rather complex setup (e.g., I found this for my Mint https://github.com/linuxmint/linuxmint/issues/852), but that hibernation is done in swap file/partition, so there is no way to guarantee that it will not fail became swap was too full.

I'm still at the beginning of my #LinuxJourney and although I like using the shell, I sometimes wish things were a bit more colour-coded. #TIL it only needs three lines in /etc/bash.bashrc to achieve this.

export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
eval "dircolors"
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'

In an effort to fully switch to Linux, I'm using the machine for everyday use now and the "main" laptop only for watching stuff. Wish me luck 🙏🏻
