I migrated from Bitwarden to 1password because I wanted something that works better on Linux. With 1password-cli and PAM integration mainly. Bitwarden worked beautifully under Windows, but once I switched over to Linux, I realised that 1password had more Linux friendly features. I track some discussions over bitwarden that talk about implementing those features, I might come back at some point.

This setting doesn't exist for me. I just use another launcher anyway.

Thx, for podcasts, I paid for pocketcast a long time ago, so I'm fine for now. I'm mainly looking for this use case, but for a standard RSS reader.

Here is a use case: multiple device sync. With a server client infrastructure, read status are synced to the server, so if I change device, I can pick it up where I left off. Same thing as using a cloud service, but self hosted.

It might. I take the risk. At that point, storage cost will be lower, I'll just buy a bunch of 20TB drives and build a truenas NAS. In the meantime, I'm satisfied with unraid as I don't have to spend 2k+ to get 50TB of usable space.

Why would they need production capacity to produce a product that is useless for the NATO military doctrine? That's just not how NATO countries wage war. Of course they don't have a good production capacity of a tool they are not likely to use. And even if they wanted to start to produce them at the start of the war, it wouldn't be ready today, it takes a lot of time and resources to build production capacity from scratch.

As I said to people I know, fun. I have fun setting this up. Its a hobby. I like to search for bargains and build the automations. If you don't have fun doing it, its usually not really worth it. It gets expensive quick and its kind of a lot of work to research and setup if you want to keep your privacy.

I use qtile on X11 and hyprland on Wayland. There is an option on hyprland for exactly that (idleinhibit window rule), but didn't find a good solution on qtile yet. Anyway I have issues with qtile for other things too (because of X11 mainly).

The worst I did is wanting to replace the WAN interface on my Opnsense router. I didn't check properly and replaced my LAN interface instead, rendering the router inaccessible and fucking up my network. Luckily, its a VM on proxmox that was still accessible from IP. I just opened a console to the VM and found out that the whole configuration is in a file. Also, a copy is saved with every configuration change. I just found the right one to restore and voilà! My network was back up.

I've been an on and off Linux user for a long time, but my main OS used to be Windows. I recently switched to Linux (Arch btw) and I love it.

For my use cases, here is what I like about windows:

  • Office 365
  • Gaming
  • Onedrive
  • Just works
  • touch screen and touch pad
  • Hardware support
  • Autohotkey (can live without)
  • Software compatibility
  • VR
  • Parsec

Here is what I like about Linux

  • Dynamic tiling window managers.
  • Customization, I can have my notifications on the top right, the way I like them.
  • Smooth as fuck: very fast!
  • Very clever solutions (looking into NixOS currently for example)
  • Terminal: fun to use and it's fast!
  • Much more control over my system.

The things I dislike about windows are mainly that it's stupid slow compared to Linux and the growing presence of telemetry and ads (though I wasn't that affected). Also, I can't replace windows default shortcuts or some functionalities.

What I dislike about Linux is that there is always something that doesn't work properly. I currently have issues with DPMS. My laptop has trouble with the behavior if the touchpad, sometimes the gestures work, sometimes they don't, it depends on its mood I guess. I tried Wayland, but with a nvidia card it has a lot of issues, I had to go back to X which sucks since I really prefer the way wayland works. I'm quite technical, but sometimes the solutions don't really work.

I read a few things in this thread that I disagree with though, namely:

  • You can launch apps from PowerShell (terminal)
  • You can have package managers, I used scoop, choco and winget. Every app that I use can be installed and updated with those, from PowerShell.
  • Pretty sure you can update your system from PowerShell, then you probably can make a script to update everything.
  • You can disable auto-updates and auto-reboot in Windows. I never had my computer reboot on me and it stays open 24/7. What I liked is auto-update, but no auto-reboot. I chose when to reboot, only had a notification which was disabled when I was playing a game.
  • There are options for launchers, the windows menu or powertoy run.
  • You can create shortcuts (similar to .desktop) and you can also make a bat script instead of a bash script.

A lot of comments are about a knowledge deficit, not a capability deficit from Windows.

This is TOTP. I use my password manager for that. I used to use Bitwarden, but I recently switched to 1password.

SSO means single sign on. If I sign on to Google, it automatically sign me on other apps. I use a forward auth on my self hosted services. I used to use authentik but I switched to google since it just works much better. If Google makes a shitty move in that department, I can always fall back to authentik.

I don't mind using proprietary softwares if they're good, I just prefer to think about an alternative in case I need to switch.
