  AirDrop & why it would be amazing for cross-platform Apple’s AirDrop is known to be one of the best data transfer services. It allows its users to quickly transfer files between devices while also providing a high level of security. However, it’s not available on any other platform, except for iOS and macOS. This means that if you want to transfer files and use AirDrop on Windows, you need to use SnapDrop. SnapDrop is a super-easy way to send files or data between your devices, and it works with anything, from PDF files to photos and videos. All you need to do is open it in your browser and then look for a device to exchange files with. It’s a great app, developed using some of the best security protocols. On top of that, it’s open-source, so developers are continuously improving it. If you want to transfer files between your devices successfully, you need them both connected to the same local network – for your safety, only use secure and password-protected Wi...

Install both packages: sudo pacman -S kvantum-qt5 qt5ct Both applications are required because kvantum does not allow the font settings. Therefore qt5ct is also set as an environment variable, as it works in most desktop environments or when using a window manager as a user. In some cases, e.g. when using Cinnamon, it is necessary to set the variable system-wide, because Cinnamon seems to ignore variables that are set as users. Then we set qt5ct to use the kvantum theme and set fonts inside qt5ct. Per-user variable will be configured like so: Create the needed directory: mkdir ~/.config/environment.d and the needed config file with the needed variable: echo "QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct" > ~/.config/environme...
