Could be yes - although I seem to think with my transfer from one Samsung to another it brought the files and settings over. Can’t remember for sure now as was over a year ago, but I did not recall any major issue.

I was thinking more of its native file format it saves to. It said “import from Markdown” which seemed to suggest it is not saving all in Markdown (otherwise would have said opens and saves to). But maybe it is just badly worded.

QOwnNotes (https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes) may be an option as it is pure Markdown and need not have both the code and preview windows open. I used it before moving to Obsidian. It has some options to customise its window views, but it is a long time since I used it, so not sure if it has that block mode you want. Logseq I seem to recall worked with blocks as it is an Outliner that does save in Markdown format, but I did not like that the outline blocks added characters to the file format that slightly broke compatibility with standard Markdown formats. But blocks was Logseq’s strength.

Although it says it “imports Markdown” so not sure if it is an actual Markdown format editor.

I switch between Main, Recording, and Gaming. Apart from backgrounds I have some apps specifically visible in that Activity, and also have a filtered desktop folder for each (each Activity has files that are only relevant to that activity). I did a video about my switching at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq-7KEeH7_U and how it differs from virtual desktops.

Not “everyone” uses Whatsapp though - I deleted mine after the Cambridge Analytica scandal and I know of a few others who also did so. As far as I know Whatsapp has still never changed their T&C to pass metadata upstream to Facebook.

You certainly want to test out what you expect to use before moving. The advantage would also be finding apps that run natively on Linux. There certainly are some such DAW apps.

I’m using Manjaro KDE and my games are running fine under Proton on Steam Games. But I play Snowrunner, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc.

A tip on Windows VMs as I do keep one. I discovered that running one with it’s Windows files rather on a separate partition formatted at NTFS, really works quite well for me (versus the VM sitting on one massive VM file on the Linux partition. Can see Chris’ video about this at https://youtu.be/6KqqNsnkDlQ.

Nice thing for just testing Linux, is install it on an external drive, and boot with that. Then your existing machine is completely left as it is, and you can test Linux as it would really run on your computer.

I’m using Manjaro KDE - working well with Steam Games with Proton for must games.

Then again, I always wish that many religious people would not stand up so vocally and be counted so much ;-)

Yes seems no practical craft is actually able to reach them to recover their sub from that depth. There was no wire to pull them back up. The sub can’t be opened from the inside, even if it had surfaced somewhere. There’ll need to be a serious rethink about the safety design.
