I used a lenovo x380 yoga with Fedora. I seldom used it in tablet form, but the keyboard appeared when swiping up from the bottom in GNOME. I did not like it as well as the windows one. I tried KDE as well, I had a better experience there as there are more config options for it. As for drivers and sensors like for the hinge positions, wacom touch stuff all just worked.

I was a “hyperactive” kid, I am not sure if I even have ADHD. It sure feels like I do or at least did have more severe symptoms when I was a kid. I kind of turned out ok. I can live a healthy, full life, married. My parents barely have any idea of how and why I was a negligent, immature kid who couldn’t get better grades or make friends despite doing everything in my power.

Looking back, the support I would have needed is just patience, understanding, reassurance and acceptance. If there are proven methots that work with learning difficulties, then that! To this day learning more than surface level information is pure pain. Teach him how to learn in my opinion.

On the other hand, I am great at seeing the “big picture” and can derive information off of it to solve most of my problems on the go. It’s not a lost cause, it’s just different. Having to fit in society’s narrow minded “just because I said so” standards is what made me feel and act worse when I think of it.

Yeah, I tried tuta. I have (overall less but) the same issue with proton. I just want to use my own client apps of choice.

I have registered with mailbox.org and while the trial period is very limited, the web ui is minimalistic and basic looking. You could say outdated. I seriously consider paying for a “team” account for me and my wife. The price is unbeatable. Aside from the gui, the features I need are there.

I just need the Wife’s approval. She’d be migrating from yahoo of all places.

I can second most of the suggestions. I do not host an office suite (for now?) but I am syncing my keepass dbs over syncthing along with my notes and important documents. I think since 2016 or so. It works well.

Before I had a server I just synced them in a triangle between my phone, laptop and desktop. Most things had 3 copies this way. Any device could offload changes to another. Now I have a central node and the option to sync as before if the server is down. With Tailscale, I don’t need to be on the same wifi now eiter.

The keepassDX limitations are not a big deal if all you need is basic autofill.

Mail providers are hard to chose. I am leaving proton for the lack of easy smtp and their locked in nature. Get your oen domain and you will be able to switch more easily in the future.

…an espresso?

I’m not too keen on chosing names so I’m happy that I could

Without context, to me it seems like you need a new colleague hired who can take some of the random work off your shoulders. This way you can be present in the oh so important meetings and focus on developing the infra.

I also use open source options whenever they fulfills my needs. I am not changing to linux yet because of gaming.

I grew up relatively poor, so burning cd-s for each other and trading games was the jam when I was in school. Games I usually still pirate and even when I buy them I have already tried them to an extent, or finished them 5 times. Steam sales are a godsend for multiplayer only titles tho. I have nothing against supporting devs. But ubi, ea and those responsible for games with 0 content and giant day1 patches, season passes and all that crap can get fucked.

I rather spend that money on zero knowledge mail and vpn, maybe a donation to foss devs for things that I can’t live without anymore. I need to get into the habit of donating some at least. Now that I am out of the financial danger zone.
