  • I didn't know this. Would it be possible to run multiple projects as 42yeah said above, with kdevelop too?

  • It's what I know and love, just Debian, bspwm and startx. Servers and desktop both. I feel somewhat grumpy that I can't run xorg on remote servers, but I made my peace.

    Apart from my current complete move to Linux, I'm contemplating setting up a prettier Debian for my folks.

  • Ghostwriter is another good and simpler one for Linux

  • QOwnNotes is a fast loading, Qt based, plaintext editor that supports markdown and preview, plenty of helpful plugins, heavily customizable, has nextcloud support, supports workspaces in the form of note folders.

    No affiliation but a happy user and also sponsor it.

  • Aww, too bad

    I see a comment inbox but can't see here. I'm pasting it here

    I switched to the fork as soon as I read this news. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes:
    Just install it in parallel with the mainline app,
    export your existing configuration to the default storage location, import it in syncthing-fork (it'll detect the export file automatically),
    and you're done. Uninstall the official app so they don't compete for the daemon and port.

  • This is just about the android app version. The desktop version still works and continues to live.

  • I was not even aware of this fork let alone a long timeline of existence. I am adding this onto my weekend project list. Thanks for the recommendation.

    forum.syncthing.net Discontinuing syncthing-android

    Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenan...

    Discontinuing syncthing-android

    Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

    Sad to see it go. There is a fork but seems not so great considering they are looking for active maintainer. Still better than nothing. Need to check it out as it has some enhancements.

    Planning to close my Google Play Developer Account. Please say hi if you are interested in obtaining the latest gplay release files from me to help in publishing this app

  • If KeepassXC goes under (most unlikely), I would probably switch to another field or electronics

  • This gives me a confidence boost. I don't have too many repos too. Thank you.

  • Cool, I will spend time on it. From what I see, v24 is when gitea and forgejo went their own routes.

  • Cool, did you use the built-in CI CD before or after the migration. Any trouble there?

  • Has anyone have personal experience moving off of gitea and using forgejo

    I'd love to do this but it's hard to find any written experiences yet.

    ;Edit: I will probably just try it

  • I have used QuiteRSS extensively, but switched to RSSGuard recently.

    No major issue with QuiteRSS, but I like how RSSGuard deals with rendering the article without any need for custom CSS.

  • Thank you for the awesome comment.

    As mentioned a few times here, its between Kate and Sublime although it looks like it will be Sublime unless Zed becomes good soon.

    I did not renew my office license since a year for this exact reason. Though it is good, I could not justify it anymore. I am slow-exploring Calc.

    I am done with Visual Studio faster and before other lesser dealbreakers. I will get to use it in any work environments anyway. Personal and OSS Dev will be done on a Jetbrains Rider.

    Wrt One drive, I am keeping it as an eventual piece of puzzle for a nice backup strategy along side others like Borg etc. I will explore Nextcloud once again.

  • Thanks for sharing. Agree, In had a few of these separate running, dual booting episodes and moved only now completely due to the right mental space and bandwidth.

    I proclaimed multiple times in my life that Linux will always have less than 5% desktop users and that is perfectly fine. Forget normal people, even the most tech savvy users could never make the move.

    For those of us who do, after the navigating the technical challenges, elitism, and hostility, it is indeed a lovely journey. I know everything will not be smooth and there will days of halted usage due to some breakages. The system if setup in a sensible way just like a server, it could reduce this friction to some extent.

  • Python professionally (may be Go too)

    Go, C++, Erlang for personal and OSS projects.

  • Glad to know your experience. Once I have the stable resilient setup I will definitely explore flatpaks. Thank you again!

  • Absolutely yes, I definitely have my eye on becoming a polyglot dev in the next 5 years. So it is quite the journey, but I am in it for the long run. Switching to Linux was also the easiest way to do this as I realized.

  • Thank you for the vote of confidence. Glad to know it is easy. I play it at a glacial pace, probably once or twice a year, so I have many months before I embark on that journey.

    My move to Linux

    This is a 12 year dream. I have always run a Windows workstation along side a Debian laptop. I am no stranger to Debian. I have a 12 year association with it. I am not a Linux wizard yet but have been adept with it.

    Why not use Debian daily then? My personal computing usage unfortunately centered around consumption rather than creation. I watched videos, listened to podcasts, read technical articles, and browsed social media. On top of this, inertia and great software like Visual Studio, Notepad++, Excel, OneDrive held me back.

    Visual Studio is an absolute must-have for all .NET developers. I built small pieces of complex web projects only occasionally. VS Code on Linux is decent for .NET development but it is not the same. Though Jetbrains Rider existed along-side, it is unthinkable to drop Visual Studio. At least for dark matter developers.

    Notepad++ is a fabulous software program that had no complete alternatives on Linux. I used it for scripting, text manipulation, note taki
