Yeah the map part is separate, it also just gives stats as numbers and graphs. It would probably be good for biking and walking.

OpenTracks works for running and includes maps

Originally I switched just because I didn’t have a Windows install available and Linux was convenient enough to just download and stick on there. But then once I got used to using it I massively preferred it. I’m the opposite of what you’re describing, I don’t want “problem solving and tinkering”, I like Linux because it basically just does what I want it to do. Windows does what Microsoft wants it to do lol.

Ursula LeGuin and Robin Hobb are 2 of my all time faves.

Its basically a Linux terminal for your phone that can run rsync, so it should work both ways.

I think you can do that with Termux on Android.

I’m currently using Pop!_OS, which is a great desktop distro.

I was using MX Linux a lot which is amazing for both times when you need a portable distro with lots of features and when you need something that will still run well on older machines.

I still love all of the 90s FPS games like Doom and Quake.

Icecast is awesome and I wish more people knew about it. I much prefer it to things like Spotify.

And yeah, VLC can do anything. It could probably make me an iced coffee if I looked through the settings. Something cool I also discovered is that it can do iptv, which lets you stream TV shows.

I’ve used Mastodon, I feel that it has the same issue that a lot of fediverse social media platforms have vs the big corporate ones, that nobody that I know is on them haha. Which is annoying, I like the setup a whole lot more since they tend to be more designed around being usable platforms for communication instead of just being a way for algorithms to shove content in your face all day.

I would say “cursive is how adults write, you’ll need to know it”, but that wasn’t true then either.

Quake was awesome, especially since you could play the online multiplayer from the free version.

Soul Reaver, Castlevania: SOTN and Suikoden 2 are my personal faves.

Pillars of Eternity, which I did not give a fair shot when I first tried it and am enjoying a lot more this go around and Baba is You.

I was just looking for a good breathing app that lets me customize settings, thanks for this

It kind of works in Elder Scrolls games. You’re typically just some random dude getting roped into stuff you barely understand so it makes sense that you don’t have much of a sense of urgency. And the main quest usually has parts where you’re encouraged to go do other stuff to build up skills and join factions.

Yup, either through Termux or Round Sync

Rclone makes Cryptomator redundant since it has built in encryption, if you want it simple.

That is most of what it does unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean. It can do general image manipulation stuff.

I used to use GIMP, but Krita has gotten advanced enough to where it can replace it for most things (at least that I would use it for).
