The amount of headaches I had setting this up… I can’t tell you how hard I tried.

I think in the end I figured out it doesn’t like vlans very much if you don’t want to use their relay.

I’ve been using nextcloud for years for this. Using Android and Linux and Windows.

Man I use Windows 11 daily for work and I can’t stand how fucking buggy and clunky everything is. It’s so bad.

Once in a while I’ll boot my Linux desktop and it’s just… Bliss. Other than that I spend a lot of time on my steam deck, love that too.

Like ham radio ppl

I didn’t either, but I started using floccus and syncing my bookmarks across my 2 computers and phone. In a pinch it works great for those obscure websites I don’t frequently visit.

It is not

New 3400$ laptop this year. I’ve had it for 5 months.

Sometimes the display driver wigs out and my cursor is permanently glitched until reboot.

Other times my browser is so sluggish until I close and restart it.

Sometimes my keyboard and mouse cut out, and I get repeated keystrokes for a few seconds or a brief period where it ignores my key presses.

I have so many more complaints about windows but I’d probably reach a character limit.

You know it’s bad when I boot my manjaro Linux desktop for the first time in months and the first thing I notice is how fast everything is to load.

I think the app was “Firefox” and it was also set as the default.

Microsoft needs to hire a psychologist or something. Their senseless nagging on forcing shit down our throats doesn’t psychologically work the way they think it does.

So we have a new name for the copilot key now?

Since we already have super, maybe it can be the duper key?

Espanso? That’s what I did.

OS choice and hardware are a lot of it. I built a desktop in 2019 and it was the best experience I’ve had yet with Linux. Everyone works.

Nvidia 2070s, and ryzen 3800x, 64GB RAM. Even wifi and Bluetooth on the motherboard worked fine out of the box.

I used to have so many quirks once in a while on my last system and it was always to do with an update and an Nvidia driver, I’d have to drop to shell and manually reinstall it, or download a new one with cli browsers and install it lol.

But I persist because I love the idea and the mission.

While I use Windows for work and a steam deck mostly for gaming these days, any time I boot my desktop I’m blown away at how incredibly snappy it is compared to the windows of today.

Like I knew things were getting bad when the windows calculator started showing me a splash screen and needed to “load”, and when the start menu started showing similar quirks. Now we have AI shoved in everywhere and it’s just a gross OS to use.

But, I digress…

True, the answer to that is more hardware unfortunately. I guess there are Linux options, I forget what they are though.

Any old hardware and run opnsense or pfsense (the former preferred)

What? It already doesn’t have most of the gamers.

Normies can use it easier than gamers. Linux on the right hardware is stable as fuck and Linux has always been good at running a web browser, which is like 99% of what normies do on computers these days.

Libgen. Not torrents but books are all over.

Also audiobooksbay, you don’t actually need an account for these torrents if you take the hash from the site

Sounds like the easiest method lol. At least that way I could add in something to delete photos after copying them if they’re X days old.

I saw the compose earlier, doesn’t it call for an external db, among other things?

If it’s just that compose I’ll probably implement this tomorrow.
