🧟‍♂️ Cadaver

Are you using UUIDs instead of absolute paths ?

Try it, it is free. It is the online implementation of OnlyOffice

Like I’m used to GIMP and can’t do shit in photoshop. That doesn’t mean the UX is good though, just that you got used to it and are not willing to change.

You can use cryptdrive, it’s on par with google docs spreadsheet.

LibreOffice UI is really… well… old. UX is really bad : it’s on par with GIMP’s ideology of “make it as hard as possible to get things done”

Microsoft Office suite is obviously superior to its concurrents. If it were available on linux I’d use it, despite being about FOSS ideology. Sometimes, non-FOSS can be better alternatives. However, OnlyOffice is still neat and gets the job done.

Well… That was a shitty article.

It’s not clear… Do you want a portable USB drive ? If that’s the case it’s easily doable with Arch or Fedora.

If you want a portable USB that you can modify AND flash then… It’s a little more complicated. You can always make a bootable Arch USB then rsync in any existing drive but it seems a little complicated.

What you might want to do is create a simple install script. You can pretty much do it for any distro. It will consume more bandwidth than copying/writing an existing distro but will prevent MANY errors.

With Arch it’s quite simple. I believe it might be as simple with Debian or any other distro.

I tried ubuntu touch but am afraid I had to go back to Android because the web browser wasn’t having it.

I don’t know about the rest but I would advise caution.

You can. Be aware that using one home partition for numerous distros is not recommended because of config files conflict. You can however symlink between home partitions.

I’ll add to what was said by others, but about [I] and [No]

When building there is a cache. Sometimes you remove make dependencies, which removes the program but keeps a copy in cache. (There are other ways to remove a program and still keep it in cache)

[I] means it will clen build all installed packages and use the cache for those that are not installed but were present.

[No] means it will leave installed packages untouched but will rebuild those that are in cache before reinstalling them.

Hope that solves it. And as said before - in 99.99% cases None is good enough.

In any case, since you use SSD, don’t forget to enable TRIM 😉

That’s it. Self hosted, personalisable, and that can be used network-wide (as a DHCP server) AND as a VPN (in correlation with piVPN)

Okay first question is : is MATE absolutely necessary ?

If not, I would advise you to switch to a distro that uses GNOME or KDE. I’d go for Zorin OS which is really perfect for anyone beginning on Linux.

In any case, I have a solution that should work no matter the device. It requires you to have libinput and libinput-gestures installed (rather than fusuma which I found buggy and laggy)

I tried my best to make it beginner-friendly — even if it is not. Don’t read the first paragraph which is KDE specific.

You might want to try an arch-based distro rather than Arch itself. Arch has been low maintenance for me, but it was long to set-up.

I like it that way but some don’t.

But if you intend to use KDE with wayland, good luck. It’s quite stable but still not there. It might have made me lose some hair over things that weren’t working as expected - whereas on GNOME it was all smooth.

I can’t view the article because the page is blocked by a filter on hate-speech websites. That’s why the nazi stuff

How vile !

If you really want a “full” browser experience, there was konqueror a few years back. I don’t know how reliable it is these days.

If you wish for a ‘minimal’ and lightweight but functional browser experience you can try midori.

GE is Glorious Eggroll, a FOSS contributor to proton that put his own tweaks.

Looks promising ! I really wanna try it
