I used Nextcloud to store and share sensitive information like insurance, identity and tax documents. Not a big deal if it was ever down for a while, but I didn’t trust it was hardened enough. Only other thing I was using it for was backups and I switched to S3 for that.
I know what I’m doing and good at following best practice, etc. But at the end of the day I’m just a dude running docker. There’s too much to lose if there was ever a 0-day or I misconfigured something.
This article is weird. They could’ve just said GNU/Linux. It spends more time speaking to the finer points of distinction between the userlands than it does the data or conclusions.
Yeesh, a bit alarmist. For a while you couldn’t build GNOME 3.30+ on Gentoo without systemd but they figured it out by splitting out the necessary component into its own package (elogind). The list of hard depencies on systemd isn’t very long.
For years, Google’s to-do list app Tasks was poorly integrated and underdeveloped. Recently, Google has combined all their reminder products into a single Google Tasks app that is accessible across Google products. While still lacking some advanced features, Google Tasks’ simplicity and integration make it easy to add tasks...

The first desktop environment I used was KDE and despite trying out a few others over the years I always come back to plasma. Due to being like 12, I wanted to...
OpenSUSE back in 2006 was my first when I was 14. I still use it today on Tumbleweed. I played console games mostly up until Valve released Steam on Linux. Now I have a headless Windows 10 box and stream all my games to whatever device I’m using. Running Gentoo on the server though.

Is it the end for linux distros without systemd? Is doomsday near? (sysdfree.wordpress.com)
I almost can’t believe it, but Google Tasks is finally kind of good (www.theverge.com)

What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?
