Onlyoffice seems a little slack on the security and updates. I saw the warnings in the desktop package, have they made sure the online offerings are secure?

Your experience is very different from mine. I usually have to dig in and fix crap that shouldnt be wrong in ubuntu long before I even get to the upgrade phase! Lots of circular problems: oh this snap doesn’t have the full dependencies. Thats ok, I know how to edit them. Except that didn’t work, so lets add the PPA. But that was out of date, lets build from scratch… and so on.

Edit: Let me add something: Glad it worked for you. And Ubuntu is Linux, and we have that in common, and I want to make sure this type of discussion is always framed under “SAME TEAM!”

Wow, that is impressive. I have been using Linux full time since around 2003. Have had it on a lot of machines in a variety of flavors. Ubuntu was always the one that did something stupid that I had to figure out to fix, and by stupid I mean Canonical’s choices more than anything else. Your example gives me hope at least.

I am using an Arch rolling now that was installed about 5 years ago, and it has been far easier to maintain than anything else. Maybe that is because change is incremental, instead of all at once. My laptop has Fedora for a couple of years and that too has been painless. I have not done a single thing except click update on that machine.

The other desktops/laptops are a variety of Debian, Suse, and Slack just to keep things interesting, but are not used nearly as frequently, so dont get updated as often.

Seriously? You have successfully managed to upgrade Ubuntu since 2014? Just to be clear, on desktops?

So you went through 3 desktop environment changes, systemd changes, snap environment changes, and it all worked? I am shocked.

Like I said the last time I even tried Ubuntu a default out of then box feature was broken by default.

And with desktops, it’s always some thing: the snap needs editing and is missing dependencies, a ppa is required, etc. On the server it’s fine but the desktop environment usually requires effort every other update.

Like I said, even at ububtu 4 I broke it in a week and went back to Debian.

Pandoc perhaps. But it depends on what you are converting right?

Edit: Added link https://pandoc.org/

It has been interesting watching the prices from those large commercial egg companies vs the local smaller farms. The local farms didn’t change prices and their eggs are truly cage free and organic. $3.50 a dozen.

Really reinforces the buy local ideal.

I put Fedora on a laptop as a whim almost 2 years ago.

My main computers are arch, but. I had an iso handy and hadn’t used anything from based in years.

I am surprised at how quickly it gets updates. Gimp was at 3 before arch stable.

Anyways, I just keep updating the laptop and it just keeps working. I have yet to actually do anything for maintenance on it.

Ubuntu? Never. I have had longer less problem free with Arch than Ubuntu. Last time I tried it for a project it was broken on install.

I am all for Debian, love it. But Ubuntu has been crappy since day one.

Seems like a not so good way to me, and thats why people are complaining.

You can just look through the communities and sub to good ones.

Maybe it would be helpful to use ALL with scaled sorting. It boosts smaller communities.

I gave up using all on reddit a very long time ago, and Lemmy is basically the same… But at least on Lemmy you have scaled sorting to try and help.

Well yeah, that’s what ALL is right? The most generic stuff. You can browse communities and subscribe as needed.

If you are going to use all It might help to enable scaled sorting.

It boosts small communities in the sort.

Why would anyone be on all? Even with reddit I I quit going to all probably 10 years ago…

And don’t let my Lemmy age fool you, I drop my account every 6 to 8 months. It took my a lot longer to figure that out on reddit.

Blocked? Why? If you don’t want to see them why are you subscribed to them?

I mean if you want niche communities you create them and subscribe to them right?

It has to be both. I notice our smaller egg seller (still bigger than a local farm, but not huge, maybe a 2 or 3 state provider) still charges 3.50 a dozen.

Which is in stark contrast to the garbage eggs from the countrywide sellers asking 8

Curious how long the battery lasts in stand by and during basic tasks.

Looking forward to more RISC Linux devices.

Maybe it was a fleshy headed mutant from the forbidden zone.

Thank you for the comment and links. I like the idea of going into new places and expanding out with new ideas. Sounds awesome. Thank you for your efforts!

Any one want to comment on Voxel vs Mineclonia? Not in the sense of competition, I just don’t know anything about the differences.

Got it. My initial thought was you wanted to see the cover when it was playing. This makes more sense now. I don’t use covers in the catalog part because my library is way too big. I would never be able to scroll through them all!

Still is. I use it everyday.

Fork of Clementine you mean.

I am still using Clementine. Strawberry is missing some features.
