Based on Debian, with just the right amount of user-friendly additions is MXLinux. Coming from Ubuntu, installing MX was particularly easy, the small community is very helpful and knowledgeable, and any quirks Debian might pose to a desktop user seem to have been ironed out.
The link to the github repository: https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso Kvaesitso has been my launcher for the last 6 months and I’ve been very happy with it. Quite a lot of customization options, but with really well thought-out limitations and restrictions. It is available via F-droid.
Joplin is one of the most important apps I use daily on my Android phone. The desktop version for Linux, an Appimage, synchronizes with the shared database used by the Android app. One can use common cloud services or pay a small fee (now about 18 euros/year) for a specific cloud synchronization service (1Gb).
E-books most of the time and I’ve been reading on phone screens even before they became smart-ish. I still remember the joy of carrying books in the pocket, even if the screen of the Nokia phone I was using at that time was pretty small and books had to be in a very specific text format.
Paper books are fantastic and cannot be replaced when they are used as manuals. The memory of a printed page with nice graphics and of its relative positioning in a technical or scientific book that is read more than once is not replaceable by an electronic equivalent.
Finally, my sight does not improve over time and e-book custom fonts and size can be very helpful!
Firefox most of the time, replaced by Chrome on one of my configurations, where Firefox would lead to graphic card freezes from time to time. Edge for Teams at work. Opera once in a while because I am nostalgic of the fantastic Opera mini browser on early versions of Android.
Also, Firefox on Android or Fennec on phones without Google Play.
Thank you for the update. Somehow the Messagease FR layout is missing from this release. Would it be possible, please, to include it back in the next one ? Thanks.
