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?

Linux for early 2011 MacBook

Title more or less says it all, looking to boot my old MacBook on Linux. Any recommendations for what version to use that looks similar to Mac OS, or tips? I upgraded it recently with 16 gb of ram and a 240 gb ssd

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?

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.

I decided to unbox and install a copy of Debian 2.1 from 1999, and let's just say that Linux has come a long way, and VA Linux's box sets were not what I want to call good. I almost dread to know what the Loki Games Myth II demo disk will require to run ...

PSA: Vanilla Chromium ending some of Google's API access such as syncing and spelling check starting on March 15, 2021 - This will effect the chromium-browser package in many repos.

https://blog.chromium.org/2021/01/limiting-private-api-availability-in.html

Anyone like me who uses the chromium-browser package from your distro and relies on syncing to normal Google Chrome may want to consider moving to the full Google Chrome, or switching to another browser such as Firefox or Edge with their own Sync Support.
