What a bullshit, try to share a document with someone and then we’ll talk about adaptive documents.

TCB13 , 7 months ago to linux in Switched my Parents to Linux

On my print with version 7.6 it wasn’t just a word out of place. I noticed you’re opening a DOCX and even if it looks better than what I showed it is useless. LibreOffice refuses to save in DOCX meaning I can’t edit documents.

Not improving at all, you just did the wrong test :P

With that I agree.

Well the article lists at least 8 groups of people with real and common professions that can’t run on Linux because it wont cut it.

Linux is not going to have 70% desktop adoption rate overnight, and no one is saying that. In fact both the quote in the article and this post explicitly dismissed “linux is ready for everyone” delusion. They are just comfortable in Linux, and what is wrong with that?

Yeah, Linux isn’t for everyone yet people here on Lemmy defend it like a religion.

. If you are never using MSOffice for anything other than the most basic writing Libreoffice does cut it.

Does it tho? It can even render a simple, unformatted bullet list consistently:

Linux overall does just work for the most part if the person using it just plans on using the browser anyway.

With this I agree 100%.

Cmon, this isn’t a compatible and good enough alternative:

It is something that will just give you issues down the line when people expect documents to look consistent.

Sure no problem, general rule pick something that is supported by Armbian or will be like the Zero 3e. This will give you way better future support including kernels even after the manufacturer no longer supports the device.

Oh yes, but I never tweaked it and I haven’t had issues with it.

You could’ve just got a board with USB 3 and Gigabit ethernet for that price. www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/prod…

For mobile I access my files with SFTP pointed to the same folders I sync my desktops with Syncthing. I don’t want to sync all my files to the phone as that may lead to a stolen phone with all my data on it.

Guys, this version was released in order to fix wifi issues, obviously wifi comes from hell when it comes to making it work.

TCB13 , 7 months ago to selfhosted in File Browser vs Nextcloud

y question is “why?” It seems like, at a basic level, they serve similar roles. If you remove the app-platform role from Nextcloud by separately hosting the individual apps, what benefit do you get from having both Nextcloud and File Browser?

NextCloud sucks, it overpromises, underdelivers, wastes resources and has tons of issues and stupid bugs like these. If you simply setup FileBrowser + Syncthing you’ll get a much better experience for way “cheaper”.

TCB13 , 7 months ago to selfhosted in File Browser vs Nextcloud

Nextcloud can sync between devices,so you can even use files while offline

Until it fails. If you want reliable sync just pair FileBrowser with Syncthing and have something that actually works fine.

Finally, someone with common sense.
