Wth, I never knew Cryptpad does sheets/forms, that’s so cool!

Good old Lain, I should rewatch that.

ATMs? Why, Windoge, of course! What could possibly go wrong!

If 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)

And Audiobookshelf!

Why is this giving me Alien vibes …

From a cursory glance it looks lile they might work with gadget bridge:

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.

I really wish they’d not use slop for the header, so it’s a no, I guess.

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).

Yeah, thought the same, another sign of Shitter becoming 4chan.

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!

Cory Doctorow could have told you that 15 years ago (but it’s not like anybody who needs to hear this will listen to it anyways).

Yeah, you have to be super blind ethically to not understand that this is a highly fucked-up idea to come up and then follow through with (not that I’m surprised).

You’ve tried that KDE tiling addon / app and it’s not for you, I guess?
