It works on up to 5 devices at the same time. I’ve used signal on my phone, with it also open on my computer with zero problems. Syncing is instantaneous.

I would laugh if Dorsey bought it back for pennies on the dollar and turned it right back into what it was before. Playing the long game.

I believe the couches have a collective restraining order against him.

Aaaaaand it’s been cancelled by the issuing party.

This is the correct answer.

Helldivers can complete any mission in 48 hours. Just ask Sony…

Yeah, an alternative made by the company Serif. No subscriptions, buy it and use it. Replacements for Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I keep waiting for them to make an Acrobat alternative so I don’t need to source it from somewhere else (and the rest of the company can pickup the product and use it for commenting and proofing).

I am debating the jump to affinity for my department. Weighing the pros and cons now. I use it at home for personal stuff, and it’s fantastic. It still doesn’t get me onto Linux, but at least it’s not Adobe.

The ONLY reason I have a Mac for work is the Adobe suite. As a designer, there is no substitute (GIMP and Inkscape are nice, but they don’t replace Photoshop and Illustrator plus whatever else you get with the sub).

All my home stuff has been swapped over to Linux years ago. If Adobe ever decided to make a native Linux cc suite, I’d dump apple too, but there we are.

You sir, are a monster.

Make that sword rusty and covered in piss, and I'm happy.

I love my Nextcloud instance, too. Zero problems in the past 4 years. I don’t run many extensions on it, though. The mobile app works great as well.

Trillium plus its sync server in a VM is my goto for notes. Mobile isn’t a problem (I usually drops everything into my notes app, then expand on it when I’m in front of a full keyboard at home).

Not sure how I could get through my day without either of these two.

This weekend is getting Foundry VTT up with a reverse proxy and certs for voice/video chat. Spinning up a new VM in proxmox and getting HAproxy configured for it (it’s used for the rest of my services).

Ease of installation would be a huge one. Pop was run the installer from USB and go. After it was online there was just installing steam and whatever games I wanted. I have not dug further into void or what its capable of. I wanted as little fiddling as possible. To me the interface felt good out of the box.

I mainly sought out Pop!OS after reading about people's experience with it and gaming and liked what I heard. I jumped directly from windows 11 to Pop. If void works for you, that's awesome. This was my "how do I get it running now without messing around" moment. I really just wanted to game, immediately after install. Later on I started to fiddle with things.

They sunset “Don’t Be Evil” a while ago.

I will second Pop!OS. I have it installed on my gaming desktop and have been very satisfied with its stability and ability to play every game I’ve wanted to. Between Steams Proton layer and Wine (with the wineglass GUI) there is nothing I want for right now.

(I do run an AMD card, YMMV with an Nvidia one as I cannot speak to experience with that).

I do use Mint for my laptop/daily driver outside of gaming and love that as well. In my mind the two distributions fit the use cases well.

Mine is a snap install that started 3 years ago on virtual box and was ported over to proxmox. It has never broken, updates automatically, and generally seems to work just fine.

It doesn’t load instantly, but it doesn’t drag by any means.

I second the R5 case. I have one for my NAS and it’s been a dream to work in.

socel.net is one i've been a part of since I joined. Its mainly art and design focused. Bonus #1: It has Neil Gaiman and Matthew Schofield (former art director for The Simpsons). Bonus #2: I believe the owner's response when they pledged to block anything with facebook was "Get fucked Zuck."

I've been using Trilium Notes for the better part of two years and love it. I have used Obsidian and similar markdown apps, and I find it frustrating to add images due to the need to store them in a separate folder and reference them instead of just pasting them into the page and being done with it. To me, that's a barrier for notes when I'm trying to brainstorm. I really do like markdown, but it doesn't work with my though process.

I have a sync server setup at home (with no outside access) and do my main writing inside my network. For notes on the go I use the Notes app on my iphone (its quick and easy) and then drop the notes into Trilium when I get home.
