  • Not sure how decent yet, but got recommended Beyond Compare at work, which is a trial software and recently discovered it runs on linux.

    It’s basically a file compare tool, but can also compare images and looks really nice.

    It also features, like on Windows, really handy entries for the right click menu of pretty much all popular Linux File managers.

    I just bought a standard license for version 5, because it seems awesome and I wanna use it more.




  • If you’re mainly gonna read pdfs, an ereader is probably too small to use comfortably.

    Look into eink note taking devices instead. They’re basically similar to a kindle, but also usually have a wacom layer to use their pens to annotate pdfs. Also they’re usually bigger (at least letter format) which makes them way better for that stuff. Most support epubs too.

    I used a reMarkable for some time. It has a cool homebrew community, since the creators are pretty open and just give you the root password. They also have their own sync apps and subscribtion stuff if you prefer that.

    At least Sony and Boox have some similar devices. Some come with Android which might be handy for you.
