Best snippet sharing platform with syntax highlighting?

Usually, in IRC and elsewhere, an external link with the snippet under discussion is used.
What CLI/noscript/webapp do you guys use which supports syntax highlighting?
Personally, I have found these:
http://ix.io/client
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/pastebinit.1.html

Coming from windows and missing some features in common desktop environments. Can you help me find them ?

Hi, these features are:

Drag&drop of URLs from the browser bar into a folder which automatically creates an URL shortcut there. I use this to create and manage bookmarks.
Quickly create shortcuts (symlinks) via right-mouse drag&drop-> create shortcut.
Shell here (not from windows, but a must have imho! I don't know why MINT Mate's file explorer doesn't offer this)
Dock windows to the left, right, maximize, restore, move them to another monitor via keyboard shortcut (this is so easy and intuitive in windows with just win+arrow keys)
Allow copy and&paste of the current location in the file explorer AND file chooser dialog. Mate has is in the file explorer only.
An easy way to create shortcuts to favourite folders (in windows you can just right-mouse drag them on to the task bar, then you have a 2-click access to them from the task bar)

These are so basic things that improve productivity and i care about them so much more than any new fancy widgets or themes. Can you point me some tips where to find them ?

Also a dektop wide (DPI) scale factor would be nice.

The Linux Foundation and The WINE project

As far as I know, WINE is developed by a group of volunteers and coders that only gets financial support by codeweavers. It is a VERY important project for Linux and IMHO it's probably the best way to increase the desktop market share.


Does the Linux Foundation provide any funding to the project? The Foundation has a budget of $15mln last year. Or are the commercial interests too big (lobbying from a Platinum member called Microsoft maybe?) to allow such a funding?
Same goes for Canonical: are they just developing WSL and Linux SW for Microsoft, or do they think that could be nice to have Windows SW on Linux?


Is it time that 600.000 /linux users start complaining with Jim Zemlin and Mark Shuttleworth???

What is the best PDF editor for Linux?

Is there any good pdf editor in Linux(Other than Libre)? I'd like to switch to Linux but the problem is I can't find a good pdf editor like Adobe Acrobat pro DC. Libre hangs when I load a big pdf file. Now editing pdf is essential for me for some reason and I'm familiar with Adobe Acrobat. In Adobe Acrobat there are many options which Libre lacks. So what do you suggest?

How to share a Linux distro between two machines?

I've been using an HP522tx laptop for the past 4 years. This laptop has a Kingston 2.5" SATA SSD(512GB) and a standard 5400RPM HDD. I prefer my coding on Linux and hence, I installed Windows 10 on the SSD and Linux Mint on the HDD. That way I had access to both my OSs in a dual-boot environment.

Recently, I upgraded to an MSI GL-65 Leopard because the HP was now failing to keep up with my video editing/gaming demands. At first, I was considering converting the HP into a full-blown Linux machine so I'd have different machines for coding and multimedia work.

However, I soon realised that I'd need to be able to access my Linux installation on both the systems. Since I can't really carry two laptops around everywhere I go, I now need to find a way to share the Linux installation between my two machines.

Here's what I have in mind: Install Linux on the SSD and use it in an external enclosure with both my laptops. That way I'd have access to the same OS(and hence the same files) on both my laptops and I can use the HP's HDD as a data dump.

I'm wondering if there are any better approaches out there to this situation? Also, if I do in fact go ahead with this, would running Linux off of an external SSD impact the performance in any way?

What e-mail client do you like and why?

Lately I have been getting really annoyed by Gmail, and looking into new e-mail clients.

And since I also plan on setting up a Linux machine for daily use I have been looking a bit into compatible e-mail clients. I came across Thunderbird, and Mailspring, but I know there are others that might be much nicer to use so I thought why not reach out to Reddit and check what other (more experienced) users use :)

​

So: What e-mail client do you use, and why do you like it so much over other clients?

Can't install manjaro kde plasma, just keeps looping install.

im running kde plasma in virtualbox on an acer aspire 5, and when i install it, it reboots and starts the installation process again. I tried rebooting with proprietary drivers and nothing, still on the user used for install.
