1·6 months agoWth, I never knew Cryptpad does sheets/forms, that’s so cool!
ATMs? Why, Windoge, of course! What could possibly go wrong!
3·7 months agoIf you can stand Windows a bit longer maybe learn FOSS alternatives tp the programs you use on Windows that are also available on Linux before switching. I did that, replaced almost everything I used with open source variants and then switching to Linux wasn’t hard anymore. I distrohopped a little but have settled on Bazzite. I’m not that much of a gamer but having NVDIA drivers and lots of other nice stuff included paired with an immutable distro is perfect for me. No fear of borked updates anymore (haven’t had one for years on other distros as well but updating was still always a bit scary. With Bazzite that happens in the background anyway, most of the time I don’t notice it)
From a cursory glance it looks lile they might work with gadget bridge:
https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/
Which can do auto export which you could maybe feed into selfhosted solutions like the mentioned wanderer? There’s also Dawarich, not sure if that would make sense here.
How is the design and flow of Peertube different from YT, can you give e few examples? For me they are super similar (there’s a video feed, I click on one, I get a page with videos that has comments and related videos).
I’m in a similar situation atm and have also been looking at Thinkpad x13 as well as x390 and older Dell XPS models. I’m a bit afraid that 8gb of RAM might be not enough in the future (afaik most of these have soldered RAM) but so far I did not run into problems with 8gb on my current laptop. Generally Thinkpads and XPS have very good Linux compatibility from what I heard.
ARM and Intel should both work well, I think (this might change for newer computers in the future since Intel let go a lot of their Linux devs in 2025 iirc).
Been a happy Bazzite users for over a year. Not much of a gamer but NVIDIA drivers that don’t require tinkering during updates (like with immutable Fedora) and being able to just use the old install until broken updates (sleep mode maybe once?) is sooooo convenient! Also people on their Discord (yeah, I know …) are generally super helpful.
I was just about to comment exactly the same!
No worries, you can use my loo whenever you need to.
You’ve tried that KDE tiling addon / app and it’s not for you, I guess?
Yeah, just wanted to link that as well!
Im reasonable happy with Actual Budget. I like that it has desktop apps that can sync woth a server that was easy to set up, I can import various things via .csv, rules to automatically categorise stuff are nice. I dont care about the envelope budgeting or whatever it’s called they’re on about but it’s easy to ignore / turn off.
I almost didn’t notice and the all sites I wanted to look had had been archived on archive.org
+1 for Bazzite. Have been using it for over a year, if an update borks sleep or something, I just boot tge other partition, wait a week or two. So good!
+1 for Bazzite (or another one from https://universal-blue.org/ ), very hard to destroy, if an update breaks something just choose old install during boot and wait a few weeks before trying again. I am kinda savvy but don’t really need (or can 😸) tinker with the system.
Where are you based? Maybe someone from https://endof10.org/ or another local hacker grouo could help you in person. There are regular install parties in my city.
Maybe rebase* to
https://docs.getaurora.dev/dx/aurora-dx-intro/
before nuking and going a classic Linux distro like others have suggested?
(Personally I’m not sure if I could go back to non-atomic, having the option to just boot the old image if after an update sleep mode is borked or something is just too good.)
Yeah, I thought one of the main reasons to use distrobox and the likes is for dev work having cleanly seperated environments.
