I just installed #Fedora 40 on my old Alienware X14 R1. It works great and gaming on it still works thanks to Proton -- installing games from #Steam and #GOG (via @heroiclauncher). I need to get it customized and get some tools installed.
I haven't used Linux on a laptop since running it on my old #ThinkPad T450.
The only thing that doesn't work is the keyboard lighting and RGB customization. I'll have to see if I can find some workaround for that.
The only thing that I had to figure out was #nvidia drivers which required me to sign the drivers because of Secure Boot.

Sometimes I'm busy and can't read at that moment, so I save the article/news as plain text in a PDF file to read it later. It works most of the time, but it's not perfect.
You'll need: torsocks (optional), lynx and LibreOffice installed.
Save it as a #bash file like "pdf.sh", make it executable with "chmod +x pdf.sh" and then use it like this:

```sh
which paste
/usr/bin/paste
```
`paste` command is one of the useful commands in Unix or Linux operating system. It is used to join files horizontally (parallel merging) by outputting lines consisting of lines from each file specified, separated by tab as delimiter, to the standard output.
When no file is specified, or put dash (“-“) instead of file name, paste reads from standard input and gives output as it is until a interrupt command [Ctrl-c] is given.
