I am using Sailfish OS which has surprised me with its reliability, good ux and ability to do most things.
It is in a weird state, most of the OS is open source, but a few parts a proprietary. However when I was looking for the best Linux alternative to Android it seemed the best option. It seems rock solid, it has a lot of native apps and for the things that aren’t native I can just install android apps straight from the Aurora store and they work as fast as if they were native.
I would suggest you look into Nextcloud as you say you would not want to self host individual things like Immich to build up your own ecosystem.
Nextcloud can be self hosted but lots of companies offer a paid instance that you would be able to get and move your whole family to.
Thank you it suggested a model for my GPU that is far better than what i was using and still has a decent output speed.
Thank you very much.
What’s the green UI / Launcher i like it.
I agree there is a lot of annoying hype. However i also agree there are some specific use cases where it can be helpful.
I for one find it handy some times when i am writing bash scripts to do things on my system. I obviously check them before running but it does save time.
Although i do recommend running models locally if possible as it is obviously preferable from a privacy and cost standpoint.
Yes I was surprised myself. I expected to need to keep my Android phone kicking around for the odd thing yet, I have found Sailfish alternatives to over half of my Android apps and for the other half they work just like they did on android. I have not noticed any slow down or anything. Even my bank app works, although from what I have read that does depend on your bank.
