ty - capcut, diskdrill, alldupe & filesync, I am not sure Obsidian & Calibre are going to be a problem
Discussion
Obsidian and Calibre both work on Linux, no problem.
CapCut has a web version, plus you probably use it on your phone anyway, right?
DiskDrill doesn't have a Linux version, but honestly when's the last time you needed data recovery? There are great Looking based options when you do.
AllDupe/FileSync don't have Linux versions, but what are you actually using them for? There are tons of alternatives (dupeGuru for duplicates, Syncthing/FreeFileSync for syncing, or privacy options like Nextcloud). Just depends what you need.
You'll be fine switching over! If you think of any others essentials we didn't discuss, let me know.
Linux takes a little preparation and some getting used to at first, but once you Linux, it's very hard to go back. I've been using Fedora since 1999.
ty this is very promising. I have been pondering it since last year. I prioritised my 15 yrs of data from cloud to my own care last year. This is when I f*ckd up my migration and forgot my backed-up that stalled my OS migration to Linux. One critical software I have atm is vercrypt. Am I right that Linux has different encryption than veracrypt?
Oof. It happens. NextCloud is free and amazing for self hosting data. Though not open source, a Synology NAS is a great place to start. And yes, VeraCrypt is open source and runs on Linux. :)
