I’m just copying what they were saying on an AMA, see https://phtn.app/post/lemmy.world/9249279

They recently explained that they lack linux developers. They are very much aware of the need to have good linux apps, but they can’t find developers

Within limits; if they become very flat, you wear them down and clearly pet them too often

Wait, you are a woman? Just kidding. I noticed that many people, myself often included, often don’t read that carefully, or don’t pay that much attention to the usernames. It wouldn’t be the first time i’m typing a reply, say, to answer a question and only then notice that the person already added something in their text, like: i already tried this, and my reply is useless and i delete the draft.

I also don’t really care that much that people assume my gender, but whether you read carefully or not; why assume everyone here is male. I see a lot of guys commenting that there are not many women on lemmy; well duh, if you assume everyone is male… I always try to reply to people without assuming gender, but apparently, for some people that is hard.

Thanks, i already did that. Also, i don’t use MS Office, i use LibreOffice, so no surprises there :-)

Much healthier indeed; one will never convince people who are not open to other viewpoints anyway, and it would just suck the energy right out of you.

Interesting, and i agree; i never even try to assume gender when talking to people online.

As a side note, apart from logic and rationality, i never noticed women being more emotional than men. Also, from what i’ve seen online, men often are quite talkative and the first to break the ice or share an opinion or experience.

But in the end, i prefer to look at individuals and try not to focus on labels.

Fwiw, on social media, if one doesn’t obviously show which gender they are, they will usually be assumed to be a male. There are more women around here than some people think, and they are always adressed as bro, homie, dude, my man, and so on. So, apparently, the differences are not always as obvious as some people assume. Edited a word to correct english

KDE, thanks for the link :-)

Yes, that would not be a problem; i have a tablet, phone and i can borrow a laptop if needed.

I haven’t used it yet, but apparently it’s not hosted by a third party and syncs between 2 computers in real time and encrypted.

Good points, hadn’t even thought about this, particularly the Wifi!

It’s not brand new, but i don’t need it for gaming or anything major. Thank you for your recommendations, i will look into it!

Thanks for the list! Most points i already did and there are only two programs that not have an alternative, but i almost never use them. I will try to run them through Wine or something, and if it doesn’t work it would not be a big deal. Can’t wait to get rid of windows. I can’t remember why i left kubuntu behind and got back to windows in the first place.

Interesting, is it something like Syncthing? I will definitely check it out, thank you for the link!

I should have clarified that i’m not copying all settings from all programs, just the ones that i use a lot and are important to me, from programs that i will have on linux as well. For instance, i already use libreoffice and will just copy the tweaks i made so as to not to reinvent the wheel.

As for disappointment; i have used Kubuntu in the far past, so it’s not like i know absolutely nothing about Linux, thankfully. In fact, when i ran the live KDE image, it was quite fun that many of the programs i used back then, still came with it, like Kate and the pdf reader and such.

Backups, good point! I already have everything important backupped on protondrive and a home server, but i will check how i can backup windows/settings; i do see two programs called Window recovery drive and Windows backup program, so will check out how that works and if that is what i would need. Thanks for your input!

So far, everything gets backupped automatically, but on top of this, i already am in the habit of backupping important documents by hand in files that don’t get synced. So, as soon as i’m editing important files, i backup them, on top of the sync folders. I will need to switch to manual backups anyway, since proton drive - which syncs automatically - is not yet available on linux, but they do have a web app where you can backup manually.

Yes, i’m switching to KDE too. One of the first things i do when installing anything, whether on my phone or pc, is taking a peak at the settings

I have heard both sides; some people complained of issues with nvidia on linux, others said; nope, no problem whatsoever.
