Shifted to MX Linux, based on Debian, with Xfce desktop. Looks not bad in my opinion, but let's see how it goes. [@thelinuxEXP](https://mastodon.social/@thelinuxEXP) [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.ml

Been using the fluxbox 32bit variant for a while, pretty good and solid, lightweight on resources (the device runs on 1GB of ram and still serves me well enough) only drawback is outdated packages (cuz debian AND 32bit), also I’ve noticed the MX team has done some cool stuff (like I found telegram-desktop (kinda active package) in the MX repo there is no official binary for 32bit Linux)

[help] Are there tools for documents manipulating that can provide an approximate size of components (text included)?

Yeah my main is issue is trying to figure out how many pages it spans, I've looked at some docx and odt libs, none did seem to have an API related to getting the number of pages nor the height of some component (except for stuff with fixed heights like images...).

The underlying issue is that I want to create an exam paper with the least papers possible per exam, so I guess that at least I should be able to get the height of each question of the exam and rearrange them (using an algorithm) in a fashion that uses less papers.

September Plasma 6 update

Running rootless xorg recently got my Plasma to black screen after a min of launching sometimes, couldn't switch to a tty (I could press the power button and it worked so ig only the GPU driver crashed or something) the problem most likely only aroused when I adjusted sddm settings from Plasma's, which created a new sddm configuration file, removed rootless xorg config and it seems to have fixed it
