After convincing my employer to move away from MS office I can finally make the permanent switch away from windows.
I settled on pop_os for now since it supports hybrid Nvidia graphics out of the box and I am a noob.
Two questions:
-
I used OneDrive, and especially the file on-demand (all files on server visible in explorer but only downloaded when needed) feature a lot. What cloud storage provider has the best Linux integration? I dabbled with NeXtCloUD but the Linux client is not great, especially the file on-demand implementation.
-
What are best practices for managing apps? The last time I entertained the idea of switching, I ended up with applications installed from the snap store, flatpacks, some appimages, some through apt. It quickly gets confusing for me when I want a specific program but it, f.ex., is only distributed through the snap store. Is there a GUI (I know) way to see all applications, where they’re installed from, with an easy remove button? Akin to what windows offers?
There’s an “online accounts” section in settings that lets you log in with your cloud provider, making nextcloud, google drive or onedrive integrate the way one drive does on windows.
Or you can use the Celeste client
Online accounts works seamlessly with Google Drive but yet not for OneDrive.
It also is not the same thing as “Drive Sync” on Windows that mirrors local files.
Well on gnome 46 the Microsoft sync is much better, but the reason I mentioned Celeste is that it does the thing you mentioned
