Mostly because all of those streaming apps are an absolutely horrendous experience, and many of them aren’t supported on Linux.
They just show you the same shit over and over. They’re filled with ads, even if you pay, and cram a bunch of other subscriptions down your throat every time you open them.
I mean if you’re trying to deceive people into thinking you’re not dumb as shit, and using GenAI slop to write your posts, that’s a good reason?
I guess that explains the transition to AI coding as well
Cool, thank you!
When you add a server endpoint in the settings, you’re pointing it at your own existing server (Dawarich, Home Assistant, Traccar or any HTTP endpoint).
Ok please forgive me, I’m unfamiliar with this terminology.
Colota actually has automatic file export (Settings > Export Data > Auto-Export)
Oh, sick, I missed that somehow, thanks.
Sorry for the confusion on my part.
I still don’t see a way to import data? Doesn’t do any good to back it up if I can’t import it back in?
There is no backup server. Users can create and add one if they like.
No I understood the server is self-hosted…?
Colota offers out of the box file export
I see that but this should be an automatic backup process. Plus there’s no way I can see to IMPORT that data somewhere else.
When I use an app like Fitotrack, it automatically makes a backup file periodically and then is automatically backed up to my server with Nextcloud or Syncthing. I don’t need a dedicated server for it.
Colota already uses WiFi for home detection (WiFi pause in geofence zones)
How can it do that when it didn’t ask me for an SSID? And what’s the point of the geofence if it doesn’t even use it anyway? I am cornfuse.
When wifi disconnects or/and motion is recognized the GPS starts again.
How is motion recognized without GPS?
Why a dedicated backup server instead of just backing up to a local file that can then be backed up to a service of choice?
Also for profiles, it would make more sense to use Bluetooth to detect a vehicle or WiFi to detect when you’re home vs. Geofencing or Android Auto or speed. How can it tell when you leave the geofence if the GPS is off?

Do you have link? Searching “banana” just pulls up links to…bananas.
I dunno what that means. I gave what I felt like a very simple take and this person started to argue with me, not the other way around.
You did say simple…
If it has a apt package, it’s as easy as “sudo apt install xyz”
This is the kind of ignorant shit that relegates Linux to nerd circles. What do you do with this information? What is xyz, and exactly xyz because if you get a single letter wrong it does not work. Further the user has to already know what they want, which a new user will not.
Apart from Steam not being a standard installed item, it is very feature full.
I’ve just given you several examples of how it’s not.
For 32 bit you also need to enable multi-arch.
Just making my point for me now.
You wrote it was mostly for servers
No I wrote that’s it’s more commonly used in servers.
I don’t think you really understand the implications.
I don’t think you do.
Debian is probably Thee most supported distro with the most packages available.
I’m not talking about availability. I’m talking about comes pre-installed so the user doesn’t have to go out and find them to use basic functionality.
Debian is also among the absolute best among Linux desktop options, and actually quite popular.
I did not say it was not great or popular.
There’s a reason Debian is still the most forked distro.
This is not the dunk you think it is…
no fractional scaling? thats a DE/WM feature not distro related
Lots of distros these days come out of the box with that pre-configured, so no, it’s not.
only includes default apps? you mean following the DE’s developer’s vision?
Yes.
Older drivers won’t support newer hardware. Only includes default apps from gnome and KDE. No DE tweaks to speak of. No performance optimizations. No Gear Lever. No fractional scaling implemented, etc. etc.
Debian is more like AOSP. It’s a starting point. Super bare. More commonly used in servers and such.
LosslessCut for simple cutting and concatenating
Yes that’s what I was getting at.
