i can't get away from dark themes and white text that don't match?

i've used dark themes on several DE so far, XFCE, mate, gnome, kde, and with all of them whenever I activate a dark theme there are always circumstances on the web when white text is overlayed on a white background. i remember this problem since like 2010 when i started using linux. has anyone ever found a workaround?

Clear Linux as a Gaming / Daily Driver?

Does anybody have any opinions they'd like to share?

I run an Intel CPU and an AMD GPU and I'm interested in Clear Linux for the performance but I mainly game or watch videos, so I'm wondering how well it would perform as just a daily gaming / media / casual browsing machine

Help with dual-booting Windows 10 and Pop OS

When dual-booting, I used Rufus to create a bootable usb flash drive for Pop OS 19.04. When trying to install onto a partition that I created on my 512gb ssd for my laptop, Pop OS couldn't detect it no matter what I did. If you need more details please ask me and I'll try my best.

LibreOffice Impress doesn't impress Students

I love LibreOffice and what it stands for, but I have to say that it doesn't do a good job of replacing PowerPoint. It's no secret that PowerPoint is the superior product, but there are a couple shortcomings of Impress that really stop it from doing its job *well*.

As a student who has to take notes from professors all day long, the speaker notes interface is atrocious. Instead of showing a giant sheet of paper, it should have a nice pull up panel like in PowerPoint. This is by far the most irksome thing that keeps it from being my daily PowerPoint solution. I opened up Impress, not Writer.

I tried using Impress for project presentations as well and I really have to say that the fact that its default toolbar is missing text formatting is a huge turn off for me. I can't believe that something this basic doesn't come by default. Instead, you have to take the time to add all the options and tools yourself.

I would rather avoid depending on Microsoft Online or running a VM just to get basic PowerPoint functionality, but it can't be avoided until Microsoft Office ports to Linux (Hah!) or LibreOffice becomes more user friendly.

Thanks for coming out to my rant.

TL;DR Impress isn't a substitute for Microsoft PowerPoint until it keeps the everyday user in mind

Would Linux users actually pay for Adobe or Affinity software?

There is a [loonngggg topic](https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/626-affinity-for-linux/) on the Serif forums about Affinity products for Linux (since 2014).

There is some fierce resistance against a Linux version by community members, and some more calm responses by Serif staff. But the gist is that no one believes there are enough Linux users willing to pay for quality software for it to be profitable.

&#x200B;

**2014:**

> we would at least consider any platform where we can make our investment back. So, for Linux - that'll be $100,000 a copy for each of the five users for us to break even. ;) :P

**2019:**

> This thread is popular, but ultimately we've only had a fraction of a percent of people request a Linux version so far. Now, if this post had 20,000 people in it, we'd be clamouring to build for Linux...

&#x200B;

There was also a [petition on Adobe](https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/36257581-yes-please-support-linux-this-would-be-a-huge-m) about making Linux versions. It was signed 10.000 times. Surely \[make up a number here\] of people signed out of frustration for a lack of Linux support but wouldn't actually pay the hefty Adobe fees. Is there anything, anything in the world, that we can look at, that might give a rough analogy for the amount of people that would actually pay for commercial graphic software on Linux? Is there any commercial software that got a Linux version after being convinced by Linux users, or by a crowdfund? Any success story?

Searching a new option.

Hi guys, I have a problem. For a few months I have Linux Lite in a 3.5 / 10 gamma netbook. It has worked quite well in terms of performance but it brings more problems and discomforts than anything else. So, what distribution do you recommend? Thanks, I'll be reading.
