I have found daily-driving Ubuntu at Delft shocking pleasant. Chrome, zotero, obsidian, zoom, and so on all work great. Outlook, teams, and the office suite, and signing pdfs are all the sharpest edges by far.

I feel if the TUs were required to dogfood this, especially if generously funded such that startups could come along and provide the same service and support, that it could be a great positive externality

Why would you need Outlook? Can't you use it in a browser?

[amoshebb]

Yes, chrome gives me a little “PWA” so I can even have an icon in my dock, but it’s not as nice

Yes, and the same can be done with Teams. That's what I do on my Linux laptop.

PDF signing is the bane of my existence, luckily I can get by with a cloud solution but it's nowhere near how easy I wish it would be. Sadly I'm still forced to use a Windows VM or dual-boot because the tax authority in my country requires a root/digital certificate for login to their web system, at least for incorporated entities.

I can find a dozen solutions to sign a PDF on linux without much trouble. Now redacting seems a whole nother story.

I've failed to find even a single option on linux that does real PDF redaction like adobe acrobat. Most don't do redaction at all or worse they say they redact but it's actually just black highlighter on black text or some other kind of overlay that leaves the underlying text data intact.

Would this procedure work with the certificates you need to use?
