Nice, I like the colours and composition.

How do I decide what to choose between VM and LXC? For example if I want to use Paperless/Jellyfin/Immich as Docker and Nextcloud without Docker.

And would you have multiple VMs/LXCs for multiple Docker-Apps, or put them all in one?

Yes, it was very slow for me too. Maybe it will be better in a few days.

They did

In other areas it is much better than google maps: if you use the “Outdoor” layer in Comaps, you will see all the small paths mapped by openstreetmap enthusiasts. Great for hiking and finding new ways.

Of course OSMand+ is king for planning hiking routes, but also quite complex.

Some people from eastern parts of germany go with stuff like “Dreiviertel 3” - three-quarters 3 - 14:45 Uhr.

A good way of keeping the time-information secret, I am certainly too slow to translate that.

Stoßlüften, 5 Minuten!

The Arch workbench is now the BIM workbench. And you need quite a lot of tutorials and patience to work everything out. But after a few hours/days/weeks of frustration it feels like it’s worth it, because you actually own your data.

Don’t hesitate to ask/search in the FreeCAD-Forum, they are very helpful.

That is also depending on your budget.

The Bosch infrared camera fits your needs, but the price is high. It has ‘normal’ Bosch battery packs, rechargable and swappable.

Pictures have a good quality (still small, it’s an infrared camera after all). But the calibration time is quite long and happens often, especially when the outside temperature changes a lot (going inside/outside). Annoying, but probably necessary.

Make sure you take RAW-pictures (+JPEG) when taking photos. In my first few months with a new camera I only shot JPEG-pictures, now I regret it.

RAW-files from your camera can be processed with Darktable in every direction you like. But you need to watch a lot of video tutorials and read the manual / other ressources to get good results.

It feels great, as soon as you get used to it.

You wrote “F-Droid” wrong.

I use Fedora on a laptop, NixOS on my PC and Debian for the servers. It is better than Windows in almost every way. Except:

When connecting a bluetooth headset to the Fedora laptop, lock it for a break and unlock it again, the headset won’t work. Only a few times bluetooth on and off helps, sometimes a whole restart. And connecting two devices the same time (like mouse + headset) can lead to both not working.

On NixOS/Hyprland Drag and Drop feels very wonky, for example re-arranging the toolbar in FreeCAD by drag and dropping the elements is more of a game of luck, if everything ends up in the place where it should be.

Getting the AMD-GPU to work with darktable always requires some time of tinkering, after setting up a new OS.

It is such a powerfull software and capable of so much, at least LibreOffice Calc, which I use a lot. But the UI doesn’t keep up with it, a lot feels hidden. And that is a shame, because it prevents new users to see that it is a great alternative.

That doesn’t make you an idiot, instead it indicates how bad the UI of LibreOffice is.

And they hired someone with a focus on the MacOS-Version, so don’t hold your breath for any improvements in the foreseeable future on other platforms.

I think you and many of the downvoters are missing my point:

If the default setting leads me to an UI, where I, an average user, needs so long to find such a basic function, then the UI is bad. And I am very patient, but if you want to convince the average MS Office user, that Linux + LibreOffice is an alternative, then it needs to be better then this.

And I am obviously disappointet that they hired someone with a focus on MacOS and not Linux, where a big UI/UX overhaul would be needed. It sais in the article, that the new hire will also look at overall improvements beside MacOS, but that won’t be enough to polish the UX to the point where people would prefer LibreOffice over MS Office.

Maybe that’s a point that Dan Williams can address: The default presets are important. With your UI I would have found it much faster, because it is where I would expect it to be.

Tantacrul/Martin Keary has some nice videos about how he redesigned Audacity and Muse Score. The point about how important sane presets are comes up quite often.

For what? A better UI for MacOS?

For me it was under Format - Page Style, burried in some long dropdown menu. It is absolutly not user friendly, if you are new to the software or don’t use it very often.

I needed one minute to find it and I kind of knew what I was searching for (a window with all the settings for the page). The UI should be made in a way where the slowest user (apparently me) will find such essential functions fast, like in every other writing software (MS Office, OnlyOffice, Google shit, …).

So for me the UI of LibreOffice is a bad one.

Meanwhile the state of the UI/UX on Linux: I dare you to rotate your paper in LibreOffice Writer to portrait landscape in under a minute, if you haven’t recently used the function.

I had a great support interaction with them. They helped me with a problem barely connected to their service, with a lot of patience.

And they seem to be very privacy respecting.

Would choose mailbox.org again.
