Or just git depending on the use case.

You guys get to retire?

I’ve been macOS user for past decade.

I find macOS UI superior to both Gnome and KDE.

I’m not surprised.

Also, I’m not sure if Gnome tries to mimic OS X or Windows or KDE, for the sake of this argument. Gnome (classic) was invented to replace (original) KDE, which sort-of tried to replace Windows.

Stuff evolves. UIs oscillate between minimalism and overload.

Yes, what’s strange? This is the beta release or release candidate or pre-release snapshot for a version that will enjoy long-term support.

Same in Jerboa. Extremely annoying.

Can i hire you?

I have a fanless, reasonably-light linux laptop from tuxedo. Unfortunately, it seems their current models are more powerful, more heavy and probably not fanless.

Did you consider dell xps or system76?

Sounds like Javascript and co-pilot to me.

As a Linux user, you can pretend the os x is just Linux. That’s not true, but you can make it work with brew, some googling and your favourite ide / tech stack.

On the plus side, macs are less problematic to integrate with corporate software. You can run commercial software that’s not available for Linux.

Windows is just Windows. A step back from either Linux or mac. Two steps backed when managed by corporate IT.

Agree for self-hosted apps. However I’m also looking for a service like that one by ente.io. Here it’s more important that they continue to operate. Sure, with open-source you can self-host or find someone else, but this only works if the service is popular. Less popular open source apps disappaer when the developer gives up. The code would still available, but no one will keep it up-to-date.

I’m looking a for photo-storage option for the long-run.

Open-source is not a must, but nice. E2E encryption is not a must, but nice.

I just want to place to store, edit(?), categorize, search, share my photos. And I don’t want to the place to be Google, Apple, or Microsoft. So, this does look interesting.

However, I also want to low-maintenance, low-cost, stable long-term solution. I value convenience.

What options should I consider?

It was a paid service and it still is a paid service. However, now that they open-sourced the server, you can self-host.

This also surprised me. The Debian platform has been terrific over decades, at least for me.

My journey was

• SuSe (yast, compiling kernels, configuring X, …, good for learning, but not good for productivity)
• Red Hat (free at the time)
• Debian (still compiling kernels)
• Debian (with kernel and modules via apt; and working X11, heaven)
• Ubuntu (Debian for Desktops)
• Ubuntu (why would i ever install another distro?)
• Ubuntu (okay, any other distro would do, but why?)
• Ubuntu (snap, Wayland, … okay i’m too old to understand this, but if it works?)

Are Mint or Pop_OS better than Ubuntu or Debian? In what way?

Plot Twist: Windows95man is Linus Torvalds. Have you seen him lately? Maybe that’s his thing now.

The 2nd explicitly says Linux, though.

I’m sorry, I cannot answer this question. ChatGPT is owned by Microsoft now. How dare you bring Linux to party?

==    same (after magic)
===   same and same type (in Javascript)
====  same and same type and same actual type (in the backend before conversion to JSON)
===== same and same type and same actual type and same desired type (what the customer wanted)

From the description on the Play Store: Yes.
