  • To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a good FOSS PDF editor.

    There’s LibreOffice Draw, but as you said, it messes up the formatting. There’s also Inkscape, but good luck if you have pages of text. You can also try Scribus, but I wouldn’t say it’s good (or intuitive).

    If all you want to do is write over a PDF, put (not edit, nor remove) text, formulae, or images, then Xournal++ is very decent.

    If I need to edit a PDF, I use (*gags*) Adobe Acrobat running in Wine (with Lutris is very easy). It’s as proprietary and evil as it can be, but it’s good at editing PDFs.


  • .local is reserved for mDNS, that’s why I don’t use it. Since it’s reserved, Firefox “knows” that if you type something.local it shouldn’t search the web.

    I’m using Fedora, I know I can edit my hosts file to point to a domain, but I don’t want to do that. I map the domains with a pihole instance, and I’d like to keep the record of domains centralized. Also, editing the hosts file won’t solve the issue with Firefox not pointing to the site.
