Honestly, I would totally move to GOG, however my entire games collection is on Steam, so it would be very very difficult and it’s rather tedious to have and use 2 platforms like that.

Oh well, I do hope they can get more people onto their platform. it’s a better Epic store for sure.

Our european leaders have gotten lazier and lazier over time, with eastern block countries heavily affected by corruption and populist nationalistic propaganda has been spreading like wildfire recently.

It’s time to get off our high horse and start investing in ourselves more and stop looking up to anyone else. They are not better than us, they were made to appear so and we’ve been just taking everything at face value.

We have both the manpower and the resources, we just need to be more united and support and push for more relevant policies in our countries.

Dunno, maybe it’s wishful thinking , but I just don’t want to be defined by what other countries say or do. We have to think for ourselves.

A couple of toddlers won the not-so-popular vote and now their egostistical egos are showing. nothing but baby talk and they need to be put in their place by their european grandmas.

Well, I guess there is no universal answer and it obviously can’t be some generic method of achieving this,but what I did was to explain in detail how MsOffice is basically just a standard because people made it so out of convenience and lack of true alternatives and it’s not cheap, plus whatever is made freely available by a corporation means it’s actually you paying with your data for it.

It’s a process and you’d have to convince him to at least allow you to show them side by side or explain how it’s always up to date and you don’t have to throw money at it every x years just because it’s called MsOffice202x, because the benefits of upgrading are not worth the money.

It ain’t easy, I know… but I am also providing support myself when requested, which can become a headache fast, especially with “difficult” people.

I managed to get my father in law to fully switch to libreoffice, which is in itself a great achievement, as he’s almost 70 and he used to be an msoffice user for most of his adult professional life.

Libreoffice is just great and Europe should start backing and using more open source, non greedy corporate backed projects.

i’ve had none of those issues and i’ve been a jellyfin user for the past 5 years or so, but I do use containers for the server.

Android client is not great, but there are alternatives like Findroid, which is pretty great.

Last point is literally a couple of clicks. You just need to understand what libraries are and how to add them.

I have fully switched my arch to flatpak only( for user installs obviously). There are still some apps missing features like anything requiring secure credential storage (i.e tutanota) , but for the most part using flatpaks has been an amazing experience, if you can live with the increased required storage needs.
