From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use a variety of FOSS tools for both personal and work productivity.
For personal I use:
For work use:
Update 1: Fixed Nomie link Update 2: added waistline and liftosaur since I had forgotten Update 3: added Inkscape
Your nomie link isn't working, this is the one that interests me the most. But I'm trying logseq too. Thanks for the recommendations
Strange, try these links maybe:
Let me know if any of those are working. You could also search for daily nomie in your preferred search engine. The developer of this maintained version is https://github.com/RdeLange
That's the one ta, this looks interesting
These are all excellent suggestions and your username is very apt :)
My read it now is just save as epub and at some point send over to ereader so Omnivore could help me a lot.
Thank you, glad to help!
Yeah that's what I was doing before but in a more streamlined way. Wallabag has an integration with KoReader (which I have installed in my Kobo). So I saved articles in my browser or phone and then pulled them from Wallabag directly in the Kobo.
I hope the dev of Omnivore eventually implements this. He is very responsive and fast implementing features
10-15 years ago the suggested app listings would be about apps that you create something with them, eg gimp, freecad etc. Most of what you suggest here are just apps to manage yourself, where you control your life down to minute detail. I consider such apps to have the effect of losing freedom and the randomness of life. Basically, we've moved from being creator beings, to barely living, and requiring app assistance for it.
Interesting take. I think different though, because it does not mean we are not free, I think it helps in moments we are lost. I often find my self overwhelmed by what I need to do so organising myself or keeping myself organised can be very important to me. I don't use apps to this extend yet, but plan on doing so after building my Nas. I think it's also very interesting to keep track of my health and mood in order to learn patterns I should avoid in order to stay mentally stable
Do you know if it's possible to use Vikunja as a frontend for next cloud tasks? It does it have some extra sauce on top of caldav?
No, Vikunja has both the front-end and backend for the tasks and is the caldav provider itself.
You can use planify and Tasks.org as frontends to manage Nextcloud tasks on your computer and phone, respectively
Why Logseq over Obsidian?
Foss I suspect.
I avoid obsidian for the same reason, instead I use org mode and MediaWiki (see also dokuwiki)
As the others said, the main reason is that it is FOSS. Before Logseq, I was using Standard Notes, which is also FOSS and was enough for my needs then.
Then Logseq appeared at the same time I was learning about graph structured and linked notes as the likes of Tiddlywikis and RoamReasearch
