Inkscape is a fantastic program but it lacks a lot of CAD skills. It is paradoxical that I have to use FreeCAD to design a 2D sketch because is way easier than in Inkscape.

As soon as I get rid of my old gpu I'll give Arco Linux a try. It gives you freedom of choice in every detail of your system from the very beginning. It also offers you the option to install every window manager... all of them.

How long will my pc last if I keep reducing its consumption of resources? I switched from graphical apps to terminal clients because I was using a very old 32 bits laptop. I have a more powerfull pc but I still use non graphical apps from my old times. Here are few of them:

Podcasts: castero
Feeds: newsboat
Reddit: rtv (still works!)
Emails: mutt
Music player: miniplayer

If you're interested in any of those clients, they are available on github or/and your repos.

If you enter without a mask, we'll have to test your temperature! PS. We only have rectal termometers.

I/O error on my dvd reader. It was expected to happen as I've not used it for months.To my surprise, they're way cheaper than few years ago.
