My son and I had a blast with this one. We took turns doing runs through all biomes and found tons of blueprints and secrets. So fun!

Pop!_OS

Gnome with a bit of a macOS twist. I really like it. I’m excited for Cosmic!

For me, it was not being able to use a 3rd party app. Accessing reddit through their garbage app is a painful experience. And unless I find the answer to a question via web search that’s a reddit thread, I avoid it entirely.

What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.

Recent convert myself. And now that I’ve experienced mail, calendar, notes, and file storage all in the same app (android, at least) I can’t go back to separate apps.

Ok, I like this idea. Handn’t thought of doing a single library we all log into. That certainly could make things easier since I already have the server up and running.

Actually I’m not sure. I will investigate for sure though!

Hmm, I’ll have to look into the external library. I must not have paid attention to that as an option or at least didn’t understand it if I did read about it.

Syncthing would be great, but since my siblings are all out of state, I’d have to walk them through configuring it on their computers and I’ll be honest, I still struggle with adding new peers and folders with that app. That’s a “me” problem, and I’m willing to admit it. But I can look into other file upload options out in the Self Host world.

I really like it. I tried several distros for my first dedicated desktop Linux machine and pop was the one that clicked. I like that it’s not trying to mimick windows UI, and only sorta behaves like macOS. Everyone else was too close to win10. Which I understand is a selling point, so to speak, but I’m so sick of windows that I wanted it to look and act differently.

Excellent points. I haven’t tried it yet, but the app Hermit has sandboxing as well and creates PWA-type apps out of websites. I’ve been using it for self hosted services that don’t have and Android app component to them. Works reasonably well but I’m not trying to hide info…from myself :)

Dang. Again? I know they have the disclaimer that it’s not to be relied on for photo backup yet and thankfully I’m not, but it’s so much better than any of it’s peers that I’d love to ditch the other apps.

I don’t mind them. I like to hear what drove people away from Windows and into Linux’ loving embrace. I’m still pretty new myself, so grain of salt I suppose.

Hell yeah! Welcome, from an admittedly also new full-time Linux user.

Any DE that looks remotely like Windows. My journey to Linux began with a seething hatred of the way Microsoft does pretty much anything. Including the Win10 UI. So when I jumped ship I wanted something completely different. I tried Gnome on a couple distros but ultimately landed on Pop!_OS and really like it!

Ah, ok. That makes more sense. I really like the OS so far. Made my first leap into Linux only mid 2023ish. And it’s been awesome!

Seafile would be sick too, but very unlikely. They have a SeaDrive client, but it’s not quite as nicely integrated as the Gnome stuff.

That seems strange regarding rclone. I’ve used that with success with G drive, backblaze B2, and I drive e2. Any errors or logs you can see?

Came here to say the same. Works pretty damn well too. I also have mine connected to a Nextcloud sever because I’m trying to ditch the big G

Since you sound like you know what’s going on with Pop I’ll ask: what is Cosmic? I understand it’s a DE, but is it replacing Gnome entirely and a new DE built from the ground up? Seems like every update assumes you know more than I do :)

Termius because somehow I glitched the free trial for like 8 months and love having all the hosts saved and synced across devices. The android app is pretty damn slick. Can save frequent commands and has a password clipboard thing, probably not the right way to describe it. That said, if I’m just opening a local sesh on my Pop!_OS desktop I use the bundled one for that.
