TCB13 , 9 months ago to linux in ONLYOFFICE 7.5 Released with New PDF Editor + More

The only problem with that logic is that OnlyOffice is a webapp, thus slow. Libre is Java but still faster.

TCB13 , 9 months ago to linux in Wine-wayland part 8: More window management Merged

As you already know, I can’t. I’ve used Libre and OnlyOffice for personal stuff and they’re able to get the job done. Few details that are different but for what’s worth I’ll even say that for some tasks both of them even have easier workflows than MS Office. They kinda remind of the Office 2003 days when MS Office had the UI actualize optimized for speed and productivity not to flash around. Unfortunately for work I can’t just do it.

Here is how Office 2019 (not even the latest) performs on Wine out of the box:

Very helpful. What’s that fucked up char anyways? :D

Once I managed to get 2019 running however it was slow and glitchy. There was some flickering on the UI and moving objects on Word was mostly impossible.

TCB13 , 9 months ago to linux in Linux way way slower than Windows?

You know, it’s not that I don’t like it, but if it was faster things would be better. Even on a 10th-gen i7 with all the RAM launching an App on GNOME is always slower than KDE or Xfce. You feel a slight delay, maybe half a second or so.

To be honest their entire ecosystem is very used friendly and you’re kinda forced into GNOME as most GNOME apps will pull a ton of GNOME components with themselves even if you’re on KDE or others.

Excel is everything, runs on a Browser, can run a Browser and everything in between :D

They don’t. Web only and considerable heavier and harder to get running than FileBrowser.

Can I use CryptPad on mobile? CryptPad is engineered to work as well as possible on small screens. Depending on your device performance it should be possible to use CryptPad on mobile. Work to make CryptPad more responsive was undertaken in 2020, if you notice areas that need improvement in this regard, please contact Support or submit an issue on Github.

So your complaints are mostly about the mail app? Because I have not tried that yet,

No, their UI is horribly slow and if you just open your browser console you’ll see it spitting errors unlike anything else you’ve ever seen.

What do you use for working simultaneously on the same file at the same time, if may ask, I’m interested in learning more about NC alternatives.

FileBrowser with the OnlyOffice server, gets the job done without much fuzz. Official integration is coming but there’s a fork by the same guy with the PR open that works just fine. js.wiki and/or getoutline.com might work for some situations.

I think folders could probably be symlinked to immich, etc.

Yes they can. I’ve been doing that for a long time. If you combine with Syncthing and Samba (for iOS) you also get a very nice cloud solution.

Isn’t cryptopad web as well? lol

cryptpad.fr

That could be great if they dropped the encrypted act and/or actually provided OnlyOffice for Docs and Presentations, not only for spreadsheets. FileBrowser is way easier to deal with.

As you said, NextCloud is slow, it is also buggy lemmy.world/comment/346174. Better hardware won’t make it better.

As for suggestions you should checkout FileBrowser as it is fast, reliable and easy to use. An OnlyOffice integration is coming.

To replace meet, jitsi.org. They even have a browser based solution that allows you to create quick meets: meet.jit.si

NextCloud 😂 😂 lemmy.world/comment/346174

Well to be fair it might be as reliable as iCloud…

TCB13 , 9 months ago to linux in Can Install debian, but impossible to install Fedora or Tumbleweed.

Guess that says a LOT about how good Debian is. No reason to use unreliable stuff then.

TCB13 , 9 months ago to linux in Experiences using immutable Linux desktops?

Any distro with BTRFS works for your use case and will be easier to deal with.

No orchestration or proprietary repository needed.

Yes, but guess what happens whenever people popularize immutable distros as the next hype in tech that will make everything better? You get yourself into a totally unreasonable and avoidable ecosystem just because those systems won’t cut it for most use cases… same that happened with Docker/Kubernetes.

TCB13 , 9 months ago to linux in Linux way way slower than Windows?

No it isn’t.

So complex:

// take a read-only snapshot:

btrfs sub snap -r fs snapshot

… do things on fs

// rolling back:

btrfs sub del fs # at which point you’ll lose those things you’ve done

// if you want to preserve them, just rename fs instead

btrfs sub snap snapshot fs # reinstate snapshot as a read+write fs btrfs sub del snapshot # delete the non-longer needed read-only snapshot
