Out of curiosity, how did you piss before?

lying on my back like all normal people

Do Gentoo next, and good work!

was planning Nix to understand the whole reproducible build idea, but Gentoo is a good suggestion too! will try that

i use draw.io a lot, especially when making schematics for papers!

This was brought up before and is definitive In my todo list!

yep, but it's a private repo.

like i mention in one of the comments: UI is a dealbreaker for me. oftentimes i have to make complicated annotations, arrows going from one plot to another, combine shapes to make schematic illustrations. i can do all that in a vector editor, sure, but having it all in one place speeds things up considerably.

Yes, i tried remark. I often use markdown-based solutions when i give a more code-centric presentation. But for other purposes, when I want to make annotations on the slide, put arrows in the right places, combine shapes to make a fast schematic etc, this just doesn’t cut. Sure, technically, it’s possible to do it with mermaid, etc, but it takes exponentially more time.

Agree, but like i said, all the media files are still saved to the cloud and viewed through YouTube.

Native math support i think is the main hurdle when it comes to libreoffice for me. Some of the plug-ins that add this functionality were also causing the app to crash.

Will definitely give it a try, although from the looks of it the project seems abandoned. The last commit was 5 years ago.

Sorry yes, i meant onlyoffice. Like i said, it’s indeed quite similar to power point, except for the weirdly looking video embedding. (And of course the fact that it’s free, although i’ve never paid for the powerpoint either :) )

i tried openoffice, and it's actually quite decent! the video support is kinda clumsy, because it has no preview at all (the video is basically black unless you make a slideshow, and it also has black boundaries make it square, and you have to manually crop it every time). i also don't quite like their pushiness about making an account with them and running things on the cloud. but otherwise looks pretty good. i mean the main advantage over powerpoint i guess is the ability to run on linux (and the fact they're free, which is a huge kudo!)
