Nah. I already did that once and the mrchromebox.tech site even says not to buy a chromebook for Linux. It's honestly not that great of an experience

Kinda outside my price range. And there's probably no used devices yet.

For outlook replacement I suggest Thunderbird. I can't help you find a music player. I know that ones with your requested feature set likely exist but the googling you will have to you yourself

Hmm. Okay so Music should be fairly manageble. Just have a local folder with your music in it and then sync it to your phone using Syncthing. Then you need to find a music player that you like and has the features that you want.

For Office Suite have a look at OnlyOffice. It's pretty darn Microsoft Office compatible.

For 4. look at photoprism (https://www.photoprism.app/) it's a self hosted photo management platform.

I don't know about 5 though. It looks like the scansnap scanners are supported in Linux but I don't know about batch scanning or evernote. This you will have to figure out yourself

I think vim (and other text editors with vim bindings). I've gotten so accustomed to the vim way of doing things that I can't go back

Yep. But this isn't even the greens party in the picture. It's "Die Linke" a leftist party. You can see it by a logo on his shirt. I hope they manage to come into the parliament.

My mother uses some software that runs in the browser for her shop. It can print out receipts and scan items. To do these things it has a small "sattelite" application that runs on the system and interacts with the printer and scanner. This software only runs on Windows and Linux doesn't have drivers for the scanner.

When I switched her over to Linux and found this out in the process I wanted to stop, give up and install windows.

But then I had a stupid idea. I could run the sattelite program in a Windows VM and pass through the USB devices for receipt printer and scanner. The webapp uses requests to localhost:9998 to communicate with the sattelite so I set up a apache server that proxies these requests into the VM. I also prevented the VM from acessing the Interner so Windows doesn't update and screw everything up.

And it works. It has been in use for a week now and I've heard no complaints. I'm just praying to god it doesn't break

I like it

Void calls itself a stable rolling release and I must say I find it pretty stable

My bf is currently on holiday with his parents and he is not out yet so I couldn't come with and now I really miss him and can't smooch him TwT

Just don't use systemd. Use Void Linux and Runit

I am now all-in on bcachefs. I don't like btrfs, cause you still sometimes read about people loosing their data. I know that might happen with bcachefs too since it's early days still but fuck it. I like the risk.

Filesystem level compression and encryption are so nice to have.

Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I'm trying NixOS

Meine Frage war: Warum soll mir das Israel Thema nicht am Sack vorbei gehen?

Okay und warum?

Mit dem Israel Thema kenn ich mich nicht aus und es geht mir auch am Sack vorbei. Meiner Meinung nach ist das nen Ding, was die Medien nutzen um die Menschen weiter zu spalten in pro und Antisemitisch. Mir sind die Probleme im einenen Land erstmal wichtiger.

Und Wagenknecht lutscht Putin nicht am Sack aber das kannst du sehen wie du willst.

Ich habe das bereits getan. Allerdings habe ich mir angehört was Wagenknecht und ihre Partei von sich geben und nicht was Dritte, die bereits sowieso dagegen sind darüber denken. Das ist wahrscheinlich warum wir so verschiedene Auffassungen über diese Partei haben

Ich sehe du hast ein sehr anderes Bild von der Politik wie ich. Das die AFD Demokratiefeindlich ist, ist denke ich nicht zu bestreiten. Allerdings BSW? Weiß ich ja nicht brudi. Die haben zwar in manchen Dingen ähnliche forderungen wie die AFD aber meißtens aus anderen Gründen. Wagenknecht hat sich auch öfters öffentlich gegen Putin ausgesprochen und gesagt, dass sie den Krieg verurteilt. Ich denke es ist eine Demokratisch vertretbare Meinung ein Ende der Waffenlieferungen zu fordern. Ich teile diese Meinung nicht weil dann die Ukraine Land verliert, allerdings würde ich sie nicht als demokratiefeindlich bezeichnen.
