Pop_os is a good choice. It’s a solid distro and a good introduction to Linux. You can distro hop later, start with something easy for now. I installed it as a dual boot in case I needed Windows for something, but this is the first distro I haven’t felt the need to switch back.
4·6 months agoStarted in college with Mandrake Linux. Used it off and on over the years, though I kept switching back. I recently settled on Pop_OS. Part of what kept me switching back was not having the time to tinker with it. Now that it mostly works, it’s become my daily driver.
2·6 months agoWhat do you do about phone contacts? Since android phones seem to link them automatically, I haven’t tried too hard to get away from contacts. The other two I’ve managed to do away with.
12·6 months agoI’m late, but I have Obsidian set up with Syncthing and it works flawlessly. I adore Syncthing and would be lost without it!
Depending on your note taking needs, if Obsidian is too much, you could do the same with Notable/Noteless and Syncthing.
That was the idea!
I named my cat Neko as a teen because of this program!
I got their 12th gen diy last year and it was really easy to assemble. I was pleasantly surprised at how well thought out it was.

- Syncthing - for sycing what pretty much amounts to /home between my mobile and laptop
- Bitwarden - password manager
- ProtonVPN - VPN
- Trail Sense - Hiking tools, most frequently for barometric readings
- Proton Mail - email
- Coffee - keeps the screen on through a button in my notifications. Mostly used when cooking for recipes
- NewPipe - YouTube and downloading
- Droid-ify - Better UI for fdroid
- Aegis - OTP manager
- VLC - needs no introduction
- Kore - remote for Kodi
- Geometric Weather - simple weather app
- Noteless - markdown notetaker. I’ve mostly moved everything over to Obsidian, but I like my grocery list here still…
