From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Help with...Adobe Acrobat DC Pro (lemmy.world)

So...yeah, I know about the ragebait. So...my gf is testing the waters with Linux, moving away from Mac. I have a cute Chuwi Minibook X laptop in which I installed KDE Neon for her, with a bit of a Mac theming. Could have chosen ElementaryOS, but ah well.

At any rate, her pain point is ADobe Acrobat, which she uses constantly to edit PDF files in all sort of ways, adding pictures, cutting/pasting parts on other PDFs, modifying paragraphs and changing the arrangements and so on... I'm having a bit of trouble making it run on Wine/Lutris/Bottles, and I'd like to know if there's any other alternative that could cover some PDF editing properly in Linux. Any suggestions?

Off topic but isnt KDE Neon a test distro? if I recall its maintained by 1 guy and its purpose was a KDE demo environment. How do people end up putting new users on these obscure alpha distros.

I'm happy to consider good KDE alternatives. I used Nobara and Fedora before coming back to Neon. Nobara started failing after a couple of years and made me consider a reinstall. Switched to Fedora, and I had issues trying to get winapps working....And some other quirk I don't remember. So I came back to the demo that didn't fail me in years of use.

If it works for you then dont worry about it. I run nobara and its had a few issues but nothing i cant fix and its been mostly stable for 4 years. Fedora has been rock solid for 4 years on my laptop and I consider it to be the best in class linux and KDE experience. Its the only distro i recommend.
