- I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
- Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
- Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.
If you are in academia and have a lot of pdf of papers, a good way to organize them is just renaming it in the following format
[AUTHORS LIST]_[DATE]_[TITLE OF THE PAPER].pdfThis will help you group papers by same team and sort by as they were published.

Have heard about NixOs and Guix. Are they easy and popular? Asking about the popularity part since, I'm currently on OpenSuse Leap and sometimes I have to find specific repos to install applications and most online tutorials are for debian systems. It's not an big issue, as opensuse is better for me in the case of secure boot n nvidia support.

Cool. I use pdf arranger and ghostscript for pdf page arrangement and size adjustment. Are they more easier/advanced than these?
Been thinking about installing Calibre

@Achyu Google stuff (you are not spy from Russia), Super usefull and well maintained apps. Especially google pay (UPI). I will get down voted but I will not lie they are super useful.
Matrix bridges, rss bridges, and obtanium are also recommended.
Google apps are indeed convenient.
I do have GPay, GMail n all on my phone. I use Gtranslate too.
When it comes to browsers, I prefer Firefox, but I do have chrome installed
@Achyu But it is an unpopular opinion cause most people hate them due to privacy reasons.
