Very nice. I’ve been daily driving KDE for 20 years and only changed the default wallpaper once or twice.

I also always start with “crane” 😁
Borg for backup. I’m really surprised it’s not more widely known. It’s an incredible piece of software.
Also, not really lesser known software, but a lesser known feature of file systems including the ones we use in FOSS operating systems: extended file attributes - useful to add metadata to files without modifying them.
Not sure it satisfies your requirements but I’m quite happy with Baïkal.
Borg is great.
The really weird thing is that I actually got it.
This was just an outline of what you could do in the scenario, not a full solution. Looking up the keywords, “Apptainer” (+sandbox), “.sif”, and “AppImage” should give you a starting point, and any specific questions can be answered separately. You are right that people could be jerks to beginners but this is rarely the intent. Not all discourse about Linux has to be at a beginner level, and packaging legacy software is not really a beginner topic.
Pull a docker image of an old distro into an apptainer sandbox, install what you need within, then make a .sif
image, should work pretty much in perpetuity. You can also try to make an Appimage.
Came here to say just that. The WebDAV synchronization target is great.
Joplin as well, syching my 3 devices with the WebDAV option. I checked a few other options about a year ago and Joplin seemed the best.
Digital for sure. Who has room for physical books? The physical books that I’ve somehow gathered over the years are the worst items I have in terms of volume (or mass) relative to their utility.
Piper is my choice. Very easy to use from the command line, fairly good sounding voices. Prior to that, for years (decades?) I used espeak-ng, had a very robotic voice but articulated almost everything very clearly, and I got used to it so didn’t actually mind.
I’m very happy with self-hosted Vaultwarden.
Baikal is lean and great. I use it and sync to my Thunderbird (using the TbSync extension) and Android phone (using DAVx⁵).
I wonder if the process is open source or we just take their word that it’s privacy preserving. Anyway, privacy is not the only problem with online advertising, so I’m not going to give up adblocking any time soon.
