The solution about backup your data - the way he says is one of the best practice. Instead of your laptop internal drive you just using the external one for your files. You can stick it behind your laptop screen (with velcro for example) and create there the same default system folders as in your OS (Linux or Windows) and use it that way. (like an external mirror). Pros: 1. It is more safe if your computer breaks or OS dies. 2. You can reinstall your OS whenever you want, without having the headache to back up anything (or forget and leave something behind). 3. Your Data portability. 4. You can have much smaller internal hard drive (128GB for example) Cons: 1. You have to carry that external drive with you laptop all the time. 2. You need to type your credentials (password) every time you reconnect it. OBS.: Of course that external drive you need to have encrypted, otherwise you lose all benefits.

To D.T., You and I have one thing in common. We do modern-day typing, which is called "keyboarding." I do not own a smartphone, but I do have a flip phone with a small screen that is no larger than one inch tall nor wide. I have been an avid typist since I was 12 years old. I am considering switching from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, because I do not prefer to replace my hardware again, since 2017. The only drawback of making a change is that the change may be unlikely for me. I replaced my old Cybernet Windows computer with the Dell Inspiron that I have now. If I need LibreOffice, it needs three applications: A [relational] database like Microsoft Access; a desktop publisher like Microsoft Publisher, and a desktop manager with an electronic mail application like Microsoft Outlook. I depend on my computer that I call my "keyboard," even more than on my own self.

Good vid. With email clients, it seems like many like claws, silpheed have slowed dev compared to years ago. I personally find email clients a huge mess. Especially for those who want to go full Linux for work, personal, community related work like sports clubs. With a mix of technologies like exchange servers, o365, gmail, etc and mfa, it’s a bit of a hit and miss journey to get it all working the most ideal way. Regarding phones, privacy is becoming a thing, and many seem to be hoping that Linux phones will become more mainstream and privacy preserving in comparison to Android/iOS based phones. Interesting times. Lastly... remember when before OpenOffice, it was called StarOffice... a whole 70MB download over a 28.8Kbps modem?! 😂

Even having all their source code available would not make it "Open Source". "Open Source" is a term used for projects which have a license which is recognized by the "Open Source Initiative" as "open source". That is what makes them open source; not more not less. A list of the appropriate licenses can be found here: opensource.org/licenses. An recent example is the switch of the license of Elasticsearch. Their code will be public in the future and can be used to build it yourself. But they will publish it under the SSPL license, which is not recognized by the "Open Source Initiative" and this means it is _not_ "open source".

Its safe to use, and you can even compile it if you want (DT was kinda wrong saying that you can't), there is probably a bit of telemetry but that's nothing worse then something like brave. The only issue with Vivaldi is they only release the source code for the second newest version which means the browser is just barely not open source. Also some of there code is proprietary, but all that code is for theming, so its not like there slipping anything spooky in there.

Since I couldn't get it fixed because the display replacement couldn't be found anywhere in my country, I figured to use a hardware keyboard and mouse. That led me to installing a freaking linux OS on the Nexus 7. Getting the complete Chromium working on it was damn eye-opening. I even tried compiling LFS and some other software back then, but failed and rightfully so. That was around 7 or so years ago, and I am glad I went through that.

There was nothing special about the Excel file, it was not particularly large, maybe 200K, or complex. I never did find out what the problem was so I deleted LibreOffice and went back to MS Office. I'm debating whether to use WINE to run MS Office or try to switch to LibreOffice for the linux system I hope to build.
