After almost half a year with a 32 bit Linux Mint at work, I have upgraded. I'm still the only Linux desktop in all the office.

Could someone with ample time take over maintenance of the compton app in Debian repository?

Looks like the original maintainer has left the maintenance or just simply abandoned it. Even the github for the compton source is likely dead with no updates.

Could someone take up maintenance for the new compton source at: https://github.com/yshui/compton

I don't know how to do such things unfortunately. Plus I'm bad at coding & building.

Are there any graphic/web designers out there that use Linux as their main OS for work? What tools do you use, what's your workflow and how do you work with CMYK?

I made a vi editor/grep command cheat sheet for others who are taking Linux college classes!

It's very basic, but it ought to help you out while first learning how to deal with text documents in the shell. Other text editors exist, but our professor (along with many others) will want you to learn, and test you on, vi editor, and the grep command.

Yet-another pack of noscripts for TPM2+Luks boot drive encryption

grub 2.04 is coming in all distros and finally Linux can use all SecureBoot+TPM2 features (in grub 2.04 PCRs 8 and 9 are filled and changed as soon as you enter menu).

I like to have my data encrypted always and everywhere, so I wrote yet-another pack of noscripts to use TPM2 as a key-storage for Luks.

What can it do:

\- verify PCR state before sealing key and abort if some PCRs are empty

\- protect key with additional PIN (AES256), numeric or alpha-numeric

\- ask for PINs and passwords using the curses windows (dialog)

\- split secret key in chunks and protect them with different PCR policies (TPM 2.0 specification doesn't allow one policy to use more than 8 PCRs, so this noscript can split a key and use different PCR policies for each chunk)

[https://github.com/alttch/tpm-km](https://github.com/alttch/tpm-km)

p.s. it doesn't work with boot splash screens yet, will add that later.

Linux equivalent to AMI Pro (for Windows)?

I have a friend that I would love to convert to Linux, but I cannot do that without offering him a word processor functionally equivalent to AMI Pro for Windows. He won't update his Windows XP, because his AMI Pro will not run on newer versions of Windows. I have never used AMI Pro, so that's why I'm posting a request here, in hopes that someone has used AMI Pro and now uses Linux for word processing.
