A CalDAV server doesn’t do notifications. Its job is to store event definitions, period. Even if it wanted to, it can’t interpret the definitions (because it’s not its job)

No, you’re wrong. Gmail as CalDav server does it, it emails everyone when you setup an event. Baikal also does it but its kind of rudimentary and Radicale has a ticket open for it.

Now they should create a decent and light carddav and caldav server because what exists today is a mess. Not all features are supported, notifications for invites and whatnot aren’t even good or present in most cases and things break. Radicale is python thus not reliable, buggy and not functional for a large scale deployment (> 50 users) and Baikal lacks features.

Okay that’s fair.

What’s the point in running all your major apps in a VM? You’ll still have all the “problems” of Windows with the additional overhead of having two operating systems running…

Also virtualization is a pain not only for “graphically-intensive applications”, anything that uses GPU acceleration won’t perform that well, even the Windows UI itself. GPU passthrough is also a pain because it requires another GPU and even then you’ll have to get the image back to your system in some way which will have a performance impact on framerate.

It could be standard practice across Linux distros but not standard across SBCs…

The most common use case for a RPi is people who just want to hook it into some electronics and play a bit with it, very much like a modern day Arduino. The second most common is some kind of server be it simple SMB share, DLNA wtv. The 3rd case is custom images like retropi, home assistant etc… In the first tow having SSH by default greatly simplifies things.

People who deploy professionally / on scale / create customs images for other things are tech savvy enough and know how to disable SSH - no need to have it disabled by default.

You were suggesting their thing was comparable to OnlyOffice/LibreOffice when in fact is isn’t, not even in the same planet.

Having encrypted data on a server and decrypt it in the browser is not useless.

Yes until it fails do decrypt or fucks up your document in some other way.

15 minutes and 2 months fixing Wine and countless hours dealing with compatibility issues when someone sends you a doc.

Cryptpad is great,

How so, they don’t even have a document editor that is even remotely comparable to LibreOffice, OnlyOffice or any other thing… and they really push their document “rich editor” a LOT and try to hide the OnlyOffice ones. They only seems to be willing to allow OnlyOffice to show spreadsheets.

Also Cryptpad is a pile of overly complex shit that amounts to nothing and that can be compromised - its all just pointless overhead. Anyone using a simple FileBrowser setup is better.

What license problem?

The documents sever isn’t free nor it isn’t unlimited users www.onlyoffice.com/docs-enterprise-prices.aspxEven if you just use the desktop version the license goes and beats around the bush in questionable ways.

but here’s your ssh login. Literally all the installer is doing is adding a blank file.

Yes and why are they forcing us to go through hoops / non standard BS instead of doing it like any other SBC and just enabled by default. Armbian does it and once you login you’re required to change the password for security.

I remember before the imager the RPi also had SSH enabled by default. Don’t sugar coat it around security, this is bullshit to force people into their imager.

Here the problem: they’re forcing people into the Raspberry Pi Imager with shady tactics. Without it you won’t be able login via network out of the box and by default it enables telemetry. This isn’t okay.

Cryptpad is a joke. OnlyOffice could somehow work for a web thing but the license kills it.

There multiple issues with those Debian images and while I would love to run them, they don’t cut it. Generic images might underperform in your board, the GPIO and other low level components will, most likely, not work and you might burn your storage as logging and other I/O intensive operations aren’t tweaked for SD cards.

There’s also Armbian (www.armbian.com/rpi4b/) but only Ubuntu based right now. Armbian could be a great solution however there has been not much interest in the RPi board most likely due to what I pointed before.

It all comes down to a question of how much time (days? months?) you want spend fixing things on Linux that simply work out of the box under Windows for a minimal fee. Buy a Windows license and spend the time you would’ve spent dealing with Linux issues doing your actual job and you’ll, most likely, get a better ROI. Windows licenses are cheap and you get things working out of the box. Software runs fine, all vendors support whatever you’re trying to do and you’ll be productive from day zero. There are annoyances from time to time, sure, but they’re way fewer and simpler to deal with than the hoops you’ve to go through to get a minimal and viable/productive Linux desktop experience.
