  • That link kinda showcases exactly my point… It’s pretty useless to me. I know how to install the app. I don’t know what the daily workflow looks like.

    Compare that to the tutorials YNAB has on YouTube. Those talk more about how to use the app to budget.

    Anyway, it’s fine. I understand I’m not the target audience for Actual. It seems like it’s for people who already have prior experience with finance apps.




  • Is there some tutorial you’d recommend to get started? I didn’t find the docs or demo helpful and a lot of videos seem to be focused on background or setup. I can install the app fine, but like how does one actually use this?

    I’ve never used budgeting apps. I’d like to learn more about them and why they’re useful. My current budgeting is: positive balance=good; negative balance=bad








  • Ok, I need to tell someone else. The other day I ran into an acquaintance, John. He was telling me about his new manager job. Currently, everyone is working remote. An email was sent out to John’s team inviting them to lunch so that the team could meet John in person.

    Apparently, only 1 person showed up. John got butthurt. John told his boss that he thinks his team doesn’t “engage enough” at work and that he thinks remote work is to blame. John told me he likes to test people randomly by sending them a Slack message and seeing how long it takes to respond. Apparently, he thinks 5 minutes for a response means people aren’t at the computer working. John has convinced his boss to force people back in the office…



  • Either set the scaling to 1 or 2 if you want it to look sharp

    2x integer scale

    I just switched the scale to 2x on the Framework and it also looks blurry. Actually, I wanna say the Framework display at 2x is worse than at 1.25x… I can see more of the fuzz around the fonts now. Framework at 2x on the left, Dell XPS 13 with the font size increased on the right.

    It’s better to increase font and icon sizes if they are too small.

    I haven’t tried this, but seems logical.

    Coming from a Dell XPS 13 where everything Just Works ™ , I’m bummed Framework’s choice for display isn’t Linux compatible. I might just end up returning the Framework, the blurry fonts are messing with my eyes…

    I’ve been using Arch in 1 desktop and 1 laptop for like 7 years now as a daily driver. I use pacman and AUR to install stuff. I haven’t had a breakage yet. In fact, I’ve had hardware get better supported over time due to access to the latest kernel updates.

    Most impressively, I had my desktop shutoff for like 8 months one time. When I turned it on and updated the system packages… Everything just worked and I was immediately up to date.
