I just use Debian and it’s completely fine, I don’t need to build an install from scratch or to compile the kernel. Just use linux.

Restoring 1226 nuGet packages…

Visual Studio is starting

Fuck it, we CLI

Can’t ungoogle myself this time. YT music has probably the best catalog of all and it’s easily moddable

New low end chromebooks are much better for this anyway, an intel N4000 will consume just 8 watts at its peak and it’s even supported by Windows 11, and they are usable if you put Linux on them

I have the habit of holding shift everytime I delete something, one day I’ll learn the hard way not to do it

You should really consider learning how to self host if you have time, Nextcloud does not need powerful hardware to run, I’m literally using an HP mini PC from 2016 that a company was throwing away (it has a 4th gen core i3 and 4GB of RAM, it has no issues running Nextcloud on Ubuntu)

I’m selfhosting my own instance of Nextcloud and I must say my experience has been pretty good. I mainly use it to syncronize my projects between my PCs and I’m using it as a Google Photos alternative.

• Email I have never tried it but I tried Talk and it works really well.
• Calendar I have never tried it but it should work.
• Backup is one of the strong points of Nextcloud in my opinion, it tracks file changes and keeps old versions that you can restore anytime, just install the desktop client, choose what to sync (very important!) and it’s done.
• Drive Nextcloud it’s fine for it but I’ve never extensively tried, you don’t actually have to use the official app to manage your files. I connected Solid Explorer to my Nextcloud and the experience is really good!
• Photos You can use Nextcloud as a Google Photos alternative, although it’s a bit janky: The experience is not flawless because the Android client it’s a little buggy, I have to try many times before it decides to upload my photos.

There is no flatpak installed by default on Debian, so by default you get the regular stuff in the apt repositories. But you can install flatpak and then the corresponding plugin for Discover

Cloudstream

My comment was more like a suggestion, I don’t actually use Windows at all anymore since I finished school and thankfully I don’t need it

I’d use a VM with GPU passthru

Users like you are the ones that enjoy getting spoonfed and beat by mother Apple. “I have to buy an new 2k computer because a ribbon cable broke? It’s okay mommy I’ll do what you say ❤️” "You don’t let me install every app I want? Oh I’m sure you do this for my safety (non because you are a greedy ahole, no I’d never think that) ❤️

NixOS

Tip: If you are stuck using Gmail you can still access it with a third party FOSS client like FairEMail. I used to use it when I was at school and it worked perfectly, although you may need specific versions approved by Google so you can use Gmail, but the app still remains open source!

I had a N4000 laptop and it ran… okay. It could do Youtube at 1080p 30 fps but that was about it. On windows it could do up to 4k 30FPS. It is quite a slow CPU but paired with 8 GB of RAM and a decend SSD it’s actually not that bad for web browsing and Office use

From https://docs.getaurora.dev/ “System updates are image-based and automatic. Applications are logically separated from the system by using Flatpaks for graphical applications and brew for command line applications. Workloads for development are containerized.” Correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never heard of this distro before

That’s the root partition, which is the core system partition. It’s probably read only because Aurora is an immutable system, that means that it doesn’t let you write to the system partition by default
