  • My most used:

    • self hosted Matrix server with Element client
    • Jellyfin server and clients
    • self hosted Radicale server for my family calendars
    • self hosted Joplin server with the Joplin app on all my machines and devices for my notes
    • Navidrome
    • Firefox
    • tasks.org with my self hosted nextcloud
    • all the fossify apps on my phone
    • audiobookshelf server and client
    • GNU/Linux (various distros across different machines)
    • Voyager for Lemmy

    There’s a bunch more that I can’t think of that I use, but the above list is the stuff I rely on and use every day.















  • youruser:youruser just means the user’s group. For instance, on my fedora 40 install, my user (bippy, just a silly name), is the username for my user, but also the name of the group that my user belongs to.

    So when I do a chown, I typically do chown -R bippy:bippy path/to/directory

    If you wanted to give permissions to a different group on your system, but also to your main user, you could do a chown -R bippy:wheel /path/to/directory (wheel is an example group name, which is similar to sudoers)


  • It’s not that Linux can’t do what you specify, but that it may not do it in the way you require, which is based on your windows experience. Lots of what you describe can be done

    For example, using command line tools like sed, rename, ffmpeg, find, etc…, you can do all of the text manipulation you can imagine.

    But you also specify that you want gui wrappers, and in all likelihood, there are gui wrappers for what you want to do, but to meet your exact specifications, maybe not.

    If you’re willing to do some adapting, which it sounds like you are, the. I think you can pretty easily adapt to Linux, as it’s perfectly capable of handling your high level requirements. It’s in the minutiae of how those requirements are met that is in question.
