Its no big deal, I’m happy being able to try out various distros (including a rescue-distro) from one USB stick. I rarely need to boot windows from a stick.

Glad it worked out for you! 😊

It didn’t work with windows for me, so I’ve defenestrated it from my USB sticks.

Out of curiosity, have you tries logseq or silverbullet.md? They both have capabilities to query your notes similar to Notion.

I’ve had this challenge with structuring notes-data for a while, but haven’t found something that suits my workflow yet. I have on my list to experiment with a sqlite solution.

I settled on obsidian with the built in sync. The data is as clean as it gets - its very agnostic to the editor as long as it adheres to the markdown standard (plus flavors). I’m aware that I’m creating a dependency on obsidians workflow and plugins, but the cost of switching is very low considering how I use my knowledge base (I could in work case scenario work with my files with standard Unix tools).

You are free to choose whatever tool that works for you, personally I don’t want my notes to be held hostage by a single vendor.

The closest to Anytype is logseq, but silver bullet.md is also awesome. And if you choose another markdown editor, you could use rsync/git/syncthing to synchronize your files.

When it comes to note applications, there is no shortage of them. Just make a informed decision that will serve you well in the long term.

I tried anytype during the alpha, but I understood early on that the data is crippled during export, and the self host node is very cumbersome to set up. Also, I had a gut feeling that it could turn into a enshittified product.

For my usecase, I could achieve my note taking needs by other more established, libre and less complex means.

You can export your data, but its like exporting your onenote data in PDFs. Your notes will lose the built in functionality and relations.

Linux from scratch, does that count?

(It isn’t a distro, but more of a learning project that will expand your knowledge a lot, after you’ve emitted buckets of blood, sweat and tears)

I imagine it being about snaps. People seems to hate snap with a passion.

I still use Ubuntu in certain cases. Their LTS offerings are excellent.

I can vouch for nobara. WiFi and touchscreen worked flawlessly OOTB.

I went with freshRSS and was happy to have a SH alternative, but the UI is abhorrent. Even with ReadYou as a 3rd party app the sync of what was read and not was janky. I went with miniflux and couldn’t be happier. The again, my requirements are very basic.

Correct

What’s wrong about it?

I recently made a move from FreshRSS to miniflux, and it has a so much more cohesive UI. And its much snappier.

Highly recommend it.

If running linux, what command should be run? Shred isn’t viable on a SSD, as it will only tear them down. Shred was designed with HDD in mind.

And efficient on resources.

For those intrested, I created a !surfacelinux@lemmy.ml community here on Lemmy to collect information regarding linux on surface devices. Mods and contributors welcome!

The meal planner feature have been a godsend for our household.

+1 for matrix

I know part of what makes it expensive is the propagation of messages in complex rooms (I.e. the official matrix room). I haven’t hosted matrix servers myself, but data.haus did which I was on until it sunsetted late last year due to this issue.

Sideberrys implementation is good, but the native, experimental feature blows it out of the water. Its that good.
