Very useful fallback even for non-arch based distros if you cant find the info you seek for your distro.

Forgot to mention there’s also the linux upskill community on programming.dev as a continual improvement tool

Edit: spelling

Any luck? Was just reading through the thread and curious if k3b is the way to go?

Yep logseq + syncthing

Several weeks… might just be worth it to take a walk and find another hotel. Then cancel the rest of your nights at hotel#1 and cite their internet blocking policy of VPNs for the reason for cancelling the remainder of your stay, as it prevents you and many other professionals from working.

Doesn’t matter if those features are doomed to be locked behind a paywall shortly

I just a few weeks ago successfully switched my father-in-law’s mid-2011 iMac (out of support for years) to Nobara 40. It took some finagling with the SIP settings and some other macOS specific stuff before it would boot the liveUSB but once it did, it works flawlessly OOTB.

Pretty incredible how frictionless the transition was for him. He even chose to switch from chrome to the default firefox, despite me having setup chromium for him to compare (but he knows its there if a website doesn’t load right in Firefox). He’s in his 60’s and not a techy person at all. Everything is so intuitive with KDE these days he picked it up no problem.

Only downside is background sync for KDE connect doesn’t work on iOS yet, seems this is a sticking point for most FOSS apps for some reason. It was causing disconnect/pairing issues for us. But I showed him localsend for now and it works flawlessly for transferring photos from the phone to the computer.

He’s happy with all the default apps and onlyoffice (which I switched out from libreoffice as I’ve found much more consistent formatting when sending/receiving to MSoffice users)(maybe this is outdated, haven’t tried the new release). Printing and scanning was plug and play. Apple trackpad and keyboard auto-paired. I showed him how to setup widgets and he went nuts. Overall 9.95/10 would convert a normie again.

Reminder that proton doesn’t give a shit about linux support (for any of their products) and you will be better served in the long run supporting a company who supports you. Not one who uses privacywashing as a sales tactic but is perfectly okay ensuring their products only work (full feature support) on corporate spyware OSes. This creates yet another barrier keeping their customers on w1ndows/mac which completely defeats the purpose of using proton services if your OS is sending everything to gemini anyways.

Looks nice, I like the lowercase g
