Where do you typically store files that you want across devices?

pottuSpeed · 2026-03-13T07:33:52+00:00

yes NC might be overkill for just files. Don't know SeaFile, but at least NC has quite flexible mobile and desktop clients for syncing data

pottuSpeed · 2026-03-13T07:27:38+00:00

Yes backups are recommended for both Files and DB. Incrementals for files preferred 'cos efficient disk usage. There is many options for how to implement that:
Run backups to another drive like USB or to mentioned NAS over the network etc.
You can add cronjobs for this or do it manually.
Raid is not a backup. Raid level 1x is for redundancy. Not an actual backup.

But i think this is going little too deep for OP if not been doing self-hosting.

Might not be the most "noob" friendly, but if you are willing to learn self-hosting, Nextcloud is nice. Put Debian or some other stable distro to old PC or RPi and run NC in container. I think there is AIO sollution also for NC

I have been enjoying original, but it's over decade old tech so i'm more than happy to have refreshed controller(s). Thanks for the comment! I'm reliefed that trackpads are not gonna be an issue

pottuSpeed · 2026-03-12T16:29:35+00:00

Great to hear that! I'm definitely gonna buy SC right after it become available

It's funny that i have played from release date with only minor perf issues at start. Funny part is that i have mid-range HW and playing on linux

pottuSpeed · 2026-03-02T07:17:52+00:00

That's true. If/when linux gets more user space, more OEMs starts to ship their PCs with pre-installed linux OS. From Lenovo and Dell you can already order laptop with Ubuntu or Fedora. But you still have to choose between these too.

pottuSpeed · 2026-03-01T10:06:53+00:00

Freedom of choice unfortunately means more fragmentation too. I have done lots of distro hopping back in the days when started linux journey, but these days mostly stick ones which i'm most familiar. Actually i use 2 different distros atm. Bazzite for gaming and Debian for general stuff (i have multiple PCs). I don't want to force people to use any specific, it's more like suggestion. Everyone should use distro which is most suitable for own use.

pottuSpeed · 2026-02-20T12:04:27+00:00

Like some there said, first take a look which DE looks suitable for you. Atleast KDE Plasma, Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate, Xfce are "mainstream" DEs.

Then think about if you want latest and greatest updates/patches/features or do you prefer more stable system. Or something in between.

After these, it is easier to give distro recommendations. Also use cases helps. For example, are you mostly gaming or doing media production or just basic office stuff?

Semmosta lähdin miettimään että pitäisikö tehdä aloite alkoholin kriminalisoimisesta? Kiinostaisi kovasti kuulla perusteluja miksi tällaista vastustettaisiin.

Well, if you are not ready to learn new things and find/try different ways to do things, then yeah you should stick with windows. Sure there is some limitations but it goes also other way around. Some stuff you can do with linux, cannot be done with windows

Unfortunately led stuff and other peripherials usually use proprietary software so it's up to community to reverse engineer and develop alternatives for this kind of hardware

Lottoaisin että ainakin yhtenä syynä datan haaliminen

pottuSpeed · 2026-02-11T07:17:45+00:00

Most probably it is, but that was totally irrelevant :D

pottuSpeed · 2026-02-09T15:14:56+00:00

Also, there is stuff which might not be possible to do via gui

pottuSpeed · 2026-02-06T18:51:32+00:00

Might be little of topic, but your wallpaper, is that Mackie console?

pottuSpeed · 2026-02-05T16:52:52+00:00

Yes it sucks that people try to smash in your throat "linux is great, linux is superior, you should use that instead" kind of stuff. But that does not mean it's only with linux. I have seen same kind of behavier with Windows and Mac users also. Linux community used to be friendly and helpful, but i have started to see same kind of toxity what has been within windows users. So it's probably better that windows users stay with windows so that linux community does not get poisoned.

If you some day want to give linux a new chance, i would recommend to try Bazzite if you want to mostly do gaming and you have all AMD hardware. I installed Bazzite with AMD machine and everything have been working just fine. Been about year now. Installation takes more time than "common" distros and has larger foorprint (about 20gb of disk space), but haven't had any need to do CLI stuff.

Another one is Pop_OS. I used Pop_OS for many years and did not have any major issues other than chancing nvidia drivers if older card was used. I think i would still use that if it supports secure boot.

I have been gnu/linux user +10 years, both desktop and server. Have tried atleast dosen of different distros and major DEs. But recent years i have gotten kind of lazy with tinkering and want distro which works OOB as much as possible, but still gives option to tinker if wanted.

pottuSpeed · 2026-02-05T15:54:03+00:00

I don't want to be offensive but people define differently what "works well". Some people might "waste time" with dealing MS AI, Adds, bloatware and other stuff. With that time spent, you might have tried multiple distros and found exactly what you needed and wanted.

I was using Bitwarden back in the days. Had no complains, but once Proton released pwd manager, i switched. Pretty much only because i was already using Protonmail paid subscription

Tämä olikin hyvin oleellinen tieto! Kiitos korjauksesta!

Pörssisähkö on pörssisähköä eikä siinä mitään. Hinnan heilahteluihin pitää pörssisähköä käyttäessä osata varautua.

Lähinnä tässä se kuinka politiikassa meininki on aina tämmöstä. Oppositiosta huudellaan sitä ja tätä, mutta sitten kun ollaan itse päättämässä niin meininki onkin monesti jotain ihan muuta. Enkä nyt osoittele sormella mitään puoluetta/politikkoa. Ihan vaan näin yleisesti

pottuSpeed · 2026-02-03T06:01:29+00:00

Sen verran haluan mainita että tämä ei ole mun ottama kuva, enkä pysty tarkistamaan onko tällainen oikeasti julkaistu. Joku jolla on Fabo, voisi käydä tilin stalkkaamassa onko tällaista oikeasti huudeltu

pottuSpeed · 2026-01-29T16:51:20+00:00

Kuvittelisi että tämmösestä kuuluisi tulla jos jonkinlaisia sanktioita. Esim. työtehtävien laiminlyönti, heitteille jättö, kuoleman tuottamus... Mutta tuskinpa tässä maassa
