I'd consider following the opt-outs if you potentially will have a windows 10 computer in your network.
Yeah, from what I have read so far Windows 10 is not suitable for use on a personal computer anymore; with all the spying bullshit it does (some of it impossible to opt-out from) it's been degraded to a terminal into the Microsoft cloud.
Professionally working for a client on a confidential basis has to contractually forbid the use of Windows 10 in the future

There is a way to opt-out those impossibles, but it would be expensive and nothing the average joe could accomplish, a firewall

and nice!

I think it'd possible with the upper-level 'support branches' Microsoft is selling to corporate and other institutional (like government) customers but private users are getting screwed.

I have finally completed the switch to systemd --user. I'm still using a xsession file though (for emergency purposes). No more stray daemons and desktop applications reparenting to PID1!

@ CSCoder4ever

A hundred years ago, in a land far far away, as a Cub-Scout, I use to like that sliced thin and fried over an open fire with eggs for breakfast.

I just didn't know better!

I lived in Honolulu for nine years. Fried spam and rice with or without eggs was common in fast food places and even in normal restaurants. And actually, it's not bad and probably healthier than bacon. It is also popular in Korea and probably other Asian countries.

Nice! Any resources you used besides the usual (Arch wiki, man pages?)? I would like to do the same soon

The man page on systemd.service (most interesting key: Type=) and some wiki references (mostly on how to set up the environment variables for systemd user units). Since I'm still using a .xsession file I'm not relying on dependencies between units which are I think the most complicated part. I'm keeping it this way because it will allow me to get everything working quickly if systemd fails in some way. I also didn't want to give up my wm loop

while true ; do
  COMMAND=$(dmenu -i -p 'xsession')
  case "$COMMAND" in
    dwm) systemctl --user start dwm.service ;; # oneshot
    logout) break ;;
    *) "$COMMAND" ;;
  esac
  if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then echo "$COMMAND exited with status: $?" ; fi
done

There is not a single perfect reference management application for Linux.

I have tested Mendeley, Docear, JabRef, Kbibtex, Zotero. As it is now, I am going to use Citavi (paid for by my university) on a Windows VM. It's pretty much all I want. EndNote is out of the question due to rampant data loss problems).

Does somebody have a recommendation for other BibTeX-compatible reference management software which runs natively on Linux he has had good experiences with? Free of charge is not a requirement: professional-grade programs please

Still curious if there is something for Linux.

^I use LaTeX a lot (physicist, researcher), and after lot of wandering around I settled for JabRef. It is 'polished' enough to be used (with TexMaker, for example). It takes some time to set it up, and to get used to it.

However, I wouldn't call it yet professional-grade. and it is written in Java.

Question is:
Is there a single perfect reference management application for any OS?

I don't need it, so have no idea, but that said:

There are relatively better things.

I have read all those 'surveys', comparisons, compilations with elatives in their headlines, and I'm tired of them. Most of the open source projects are half-assed in terms of features (no blaming), full of usability issues or simply dead. Cue kbibtex. I'm now asking for opinions from people who are actually using these (and other) programs.

Sorry, between taking pot shots at killing spammers a six-pack at a time I'm going nuts here with trying to get anything else done. Just trying to help.

Took me two days to reply to a conky question...

Hmmm, the favicon on the pkg.bunsenlabs.org page is the BunsenLabs flame logo, but the favicon on the bunsenlabs.org page is still the #! logo...
