MX Linux is my go-to for a modern-feeling system on older hardware (runs great on 15+ years old PCs, I installed it on a ThinkPad T22 a while ago and it ran fine). And XFCE is customizable enough that you can set it up so it feels familiar to either Windows or Mac users.

You have my attention…

Debian is an operating system based entirely on free software, while a fedora is a type of stylish hat.

Oh! I also use SyncThing quite a bit. It’s one of those things that “just works” in my experience, and has clients for every device.

yt-dlp is my go-to for interacting with YouTube. Super helpful.

LibreOffice Draw can be used to modify PDFs, so I typically use it to fill out forms (whether they’re “fillable” or not).

A lesser known one: QDirStat helps visualize the size of different folders on your PC. Great when trying to figure out how you managed to fill up that new 2TB drive in a couple months.

Looks cool! How does it compare to something like Warpinator?

C’mon, don’t server shame. Some of us want to leave the basement once in a while.

Stream that shit from a Debian server running Jellyfin!

“You must be the worst web scraper I’ve ever heard of.”

“Ahh, but you have heard of me.”

I believe this is called a “stand up”. That is, you’re standing up your real work for an hour so a useless middle manager scrum master can feel like they’re contributing.
