I didn’t know about öffi, thought it would only cover Germany but it supports much more countries. Thanks for the tip!

I have a surface Go Gen1 and linux worked flawlessly on it. The bootup was tricky af though.

There is a tiny linux surface community that I created here on Lemmy, ask your questions there and I’ll be happy to help (while making the answers avaible to others In the same situation): https://lemmy.ml/c/surfacelinux

But proton drive soaent have a linux client yet, I suppose you just upload your files there once through the web interface and don’t sync?

Hmm, nocodb is a webapp first and foremost. It does have binaries to run directly on the host, but I’m not entirely sure to recommend this over libreoffice actual app for database management. I believe it would be more in line with OPs requirement.

If you don’t mind clutter free, simple presentations, try hack.md or cryptpad. Both supports markdown styled presentations, both are FOSS cloud applications and the format of the presentation is highly portable.

If you want to get really ambitious, try marp framework for presentations - still markdown but on steroids.

With macOS or Asahi?

He is on another level, so I imagine he can solve issues that arise compared to the average person 😁

Whaaaat, you’re having a good experience with teams in Firefox? I’ve run into all kinds of problems with teams under Firefox in linux, particularly with codecs and not being able to receive video. It works better under edge in linux, but unsurprisingly, the best teams experience is under the native client in Windows.

Some are forced to use windows due to workplace requirements or software only running on windows. I run linux everywhere I can, but don’t always have the choice.

Correct me I’d I’m wrong, but with docker you’re limited to the filesyatems and the image of the OS you’re installing. If you need to experiment with the pre-OS boot events, can that even be accomplished with docker? E.g., trying out different GRUB settings, setting up LUKS with dropbear etc. I think those things require a VM.

Why is flatpak a security risk? The applications run isolated and offer higher security, unless I’m missing something?

I’ve been using linux on and off for 20 years and docker reignited my interest for running linux. There’s plenty of good guides and free courses, if you need help finding one - let me know and I’ll send you a YT playlist.

Briar, for communication during internet blackouts or when there is no connectivity at all.

Will keep an eye on this, looks interesting!

Can vouch for kopia, excellent backup tool.

Got any guides on how to strip plasma down to the bare necessities? I have it on a machine with 4 GB RAM, but I don’t know how to optimize it for such old hardware.

To be more concrete: security keys can communicate over USB or NFC. Just make sure it supports the protocol you want to use it for.

But there is also passkeys which is both software- and hardware based and is almost equally secure.

In Sweden most government provided services are accessible through a web browser, but you need “BankID” which requires Android. Which is kind of Linux, though not fully FOSS.

Have you tried a low-code database, such as nocodb? I tried satisfy my need for structures data that way and it works for simple usecases. There are formulas too, but they (like spreadsheets) require some knowledge to set up.

You’re asking excellent and very relevant questions.

OP, take heed.

I used Joplin extensively for ~2 years, but I was constantly put off by the desktop applications UI and how my notes was stored in SQLite. The move to obsidian felt natural and I felt more in ownership over my files in their existing structure. Granted, obsidian is closed source and could go rogue, but when that happens, I am prepared to jump ship without too much pain.
