Whenever I do a fresh install (preferably a net install or one from a live medium -- they're smaller), as soon as I reboot into it and update it, I launch dnfdragora and go through, first, all the apps I know I don't need, or hope I won't. (When in doubt, I hit Apply often and read thr

Interesting that you say this. My experience is the opposite. Here's what I do: * install a fresh image * use the same user and UID as previous install * reboot * rsync my backed-up home dir to my new home dir location. This brings in all application-specific preferences so I don't have to arrange

Re: alternative to pdftk

I do a lot of work with PDFs at my job. ImageMagick is, by the assertion of its own developers, non-ideal for most PDF work because it is meant for Images and most PDFs have embedded text, postscript vectors, bookmarks, and all manner of metadata that you probably want to keep and/or keep lossless.
