If you can find a secound hand Fujitsu R727, they are great linux tablets! But they are not as common, in my experience.

It has RSS built-in, but since it is a static site generator, it does not support ActivityPub out of the box. But I do think I have seen implementations with some custom JavaScript.

I have been running this for a year on my old HP EliteDesk 800 SFF (G2) with 64GB RAM, and it performes great on the smallest models (up til 8B) only on CPU. I run Ollama and OpenWebUI in containers/LXC in Proxmox. It's not as smart as ChatGPT, but it can be suprisingly capable for everyday tasks!

OtterWiki looks awesome! The combination of markdown, git and a web interface is powerful.

Nice! It can also connect to a remote instance of ollama 👍

I use Navidrome, it's a single binary and gives you your own Spotify, kinda. It can be use with many other apps, in addition to the web interface, as it supports the subsonic protocol.

Fedora has been "just working" for me for the last couple of years. It is my go to for older relatives for that very reason.

Fedora Silverblue downloads new OS versions in the background and boots the newest version after a reboot. I use this for older family member who's been traumatised by Windows updates. I have also turned off notificantions that show up after a new boot with a fresh version.

The same goes for Flatpaks. Just updates without make a fuzz.

Its nice to give old people some peace of mind regarding their computing needs!

Fedora has been my default choice for non-techies in my family the last couple of years and it has been glorious!

All they need is a browser with uBlock, maybe an email reader and LibreOffice. With Silverblue, eveything updates automatically, and upgrades between major versions is a one-click operation. Easy rollback gives me peace of mind.

All they need to know is where the Super key is located on the keyboard. When pressed, it shows the dock with all apps they use and all open windows. Double-tap the Super key and you see all apps, but that is usually not necessary.

I also use the built in remote desktop feature (RDP) in conjunction with a Wireguard connection to my home network. So nice and a joy to never have to fight teamviewer again 😝

Check out Anytype! It is a local-first cross-platform app with Notion-like features, and it has a Kanban view. It is SUPER customisable, I have set it up with a PARA workflow that fits my needs.

Nice! Bought it, it is reasonably priced. It works well and is responsive 👍

Cool experiment, but I have a hard time with the color combinations and shadow and embossed effects. It's hard to beat the default Adwita theme in this regard, it is really well thought trough!
