Hence it is not a reasonable solution.

No one’s hating on anything. If you actually read my comment I expressed precisely the opposite, while answering OPs question.

Like call up someone in another building ‘hey plug the jet into tower X so I can remote in?’

The whole idea is you don’t need anyone local. You leave it plugged in 24/7 so that’s it’s accessible remotely, as needed.

All those TLDs cost money

Point three: not true

Yes it is

My blog is TLD

I didn’t say every service was this way

what’s the problem with a subdomain?

Nothing. The problem is when they make you use both.

Nothing in your comment would make mine “inaccurate”.

Some of these points are inaccurate.

…any specific ones?

the XMPP chat is more responsive

I didn’t even know there was an XMPP chat, but any chat seems like an awful way to get support…

timezone can cause delays

We’re not talking about hours here, we’re talking about days/weeks or months.

1. Unable to host apps without exposing them to the web
2. Despite a simplified GUI, a lot of the system is still dependent on CLI
3. they make you use subdomains and / as well. Like blog.website.com/blog
4. Outdated apps (some much more than others)
5. Poor/no support when something goes wrong
6. An entire Debian generation behind (not sure if that one matters but it is weird)
7. Can’t run multiple of the same service

I’ve tried them all and it’s overall the best but still has a whole lot of room for improvement

You don’t need to add a motherboard, case or PSU, the first item is an entire mini PC, minus ram and storage.

The RAM and storage was just a suggestion. Change them up as you prefer.

There’s also another model if you don’t need HDD that comes with an aluminum heatsink/enclosure, for an extra $20.

CWWK N100 - $152

1x16GB Teamgroup elite DDR5-5600 = $37

3x2TB Samsung 990 EVO - $255 1x128GB Patriot P300 -$14 (4TB storage + 2TB parity drive and 128GB for OS)

$7 for some heatsinks for the SSDs.

Total = $465 USD

No idea what those prices look like in Europe.

You also have the option of expanding with 2 SATA ports.

Stage Manager is the one where it zooms out to show all of your open windows and switch between them.

Gotcha. I like Saber for handwritten notes. It also supports photos and PDFs, so I will get some meeting notes, upload them into Saber and then handwrite notes on top of the PDFs.

It is cross-platform and has native NextCloud support, and they’ll even give you a server to use if you sponsor the project.

I see. Deb is definitely the most package-friendly.

GNOME combines Mac’s “stage manager” and “spotlight” into a single function activated by the Super key (windows key/command). It’s really excellent and probably my favorite thing about GNOME.

Atomic distros were created to solve exactly that problem. I like Bazzite because it also has seamless background updates (among other reasons).

I’m looking for good apps support so Debian?

Any Debian fork will run .deb packages. But plain Debian is just very vanilla and will be missing a lot of stuff you’ll probably want.

Wobbly windows (yes useless but cool lol) Good customization KDE connect support (a must) Krunner or equivalent (MacOS like search)

These are all going to be features of the DE, and you can install any DE on any distro (AFAIK).

If you want to type text into another window that isn’t focused, you need to switch focus before continuing to type so your text goes into the right window.

No you don’t, you just click the text box. Once. This works perfectly, and as expected, on Windows and Linux.

If you’re double clicking, it’s pretty much always because you actually want to double click on something specific in the UI.

Except it’s not. It’s because you’re trying to bypass the annoying ass “focus” feature.

Skill issue.

Okay so we’re moving onto personal insults now, I suppose.

I’m beginning to think you’ve never used any computer since you don’t even know what window focus is for.

Every other computer I’ve used works normally. Only Mac has this annoying ass “feature”.

You are posting in self hosted by also referencing some software that isn’t so I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking for in that regard.

Saber is the only non-onenote notes software that supports handwriting and is fully FOSS, to my knowledge. I use that and then back up with Syncthing.

So you can activate a window without first having to find a free space in the UI to click on (especially if it partially overlaps)

That would make sense if they were overlapping. They aren’t. There’s no need to “focus” the window.

What need?

The need to focus on the window before clicking?

Can you give an example of a window that gets minimized by clicking the red button?

I don’t understand the question. All of them.

drag and drop tile actions always work

No. It doesn’t. I’m beginning to think you’ve never used a Mac.

Can you give an example of a window that it does not work with?

I can’t. Because it’s completely inconsistent and I have no idea why or how.

Whichever one you install it on.

What do you do with all your music, pictures, addons, portable software?

I sync them to a NAS using Syncthing. Not just when switching but always. Already saved my ass several times.

You don’t switch monitors, you switch windows.

Well, theoretically yes. On a Mac, no.

It’s like that so you can click anywhere in a window to focus it without activating something in the window by accident.

Why would I want to do that? Why does double-clicking suddenly remove that need?

You can close windows with the red window button

No you can’t. It just minimizes them. Just like the yellow button.

You can absolutely drag and drop to tile windows

Like I said, sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t. Apple does not give any fucks about consistency or intuitive design.

and there are also keyboard shortcuts for it

1. Apple keyboard shortcuts are often 3 different keys for some stupid reason
2. I shouldn’t need them. Dragging and dropping the window should tile them just like it has in Windows for as long as I’ve been alive.

Uhhh I’ll take one if you’re giving them 😃
