The reddit API debacle sent me down a Lemmy, FOSS, Linux, privacy, hacker rabbit hole that I will hopefully and happily never have to leave. My eyes are opened to a better future. I’ll probably be duel booting windows for awhile still to keep up for my job, but I have been able to start transitioning away pretty easily thanks to the hard work of linux desktop devs. I am so grateful for the FOSS community and hope to contribute myself someday.
One of us, one of us ! Proxmox vaultwarden owncloud openmediavault docker-mailserver openwrt syncthing
why syncthing and not nextcloud
@jackpot @interdimensionalmeme Syncthing does not require a server and is much easier to set up from a user perspective.
no server, how does thay work
@jackpot You add every device to every other device and they connect directly to each other. If direct connection isn't possible (1 out of 10 times) then a relay server is used. The relays are provided by the community for free (I am running one).
Why a screwdriver and not a driver drill?
Mostly vibes
Syncthing seems really good at filesync and backup
Owncloud vs nextcloud
Nextcloud seems just a tad too popular
They may only use it for files and stuff and don't need a full cloud office suite

I've been mostly using Windows in a VM. I've not booted into my Windows partition for months now while sitting there almost untouched for 2 and an half years, and in one week or two I am getting rid of it. And with my Steam Deck coming I will install Windows on that on an SD Card, so in case I ever need a physical Windows system for something (likely some anti-cheat crippled game, or Microsoft Store exclusive game, or a software that for some reason doesn't work on Wine or in the VM) I have one ready.

Yeah, if they can't even bother making it work with Proton then I can't bother giving them money.
The only game I needed to boot in Windows was to try Valorant. I didn't like the game :P
It's good to have you here!
