I wasted a few hours, trying to make some flatpak apps do as I wanted, before I understood how flatpaks works, and why they are not always a good solution.

I use yWriter, Scrivener (not FOSS, but worth the little money it costs) and LibreOffice. I feel well prepared for any writing.

I’ve been using mega.nz and Google Drive. I’ve tried a few other solutions, but didn’t stick with them. Then I tried Proton Drive, and it works fine. But now I mostly use pCloud, because I got a good deal, for a lifetime 2TB, for one payment. This I use now…

If your computer can’t handle Linux Mint, then either you do something wrong, or your computer is really unstable. I won’t ask you to use Mint, but I will say, that I use it on three different computers, and not a single problem anywhere. Dual-boot is notoriously unstable - mostly due to MS… So my advice is, to use a computer for Linux by it self…

I can’t see why it shouldn’t be. I have used it with touch screens. It works great. Remember that Android is linux too, and that really spurred the development in that area… :-)

Yes it did, and thanks for that. Not it works on high resolution screens. :-)

For a free app, you need to support it, to have it being worked on. A lot of people just say “yeah, it’s free!” and they don’t support it. I find that supporting free apps is a good investment. I give some, to NOT have to pay a lot to greedy companies who want me to sign up and pay monthly to use their apps.

I have never bought into it, so nothing to give up, really… This is just an affirmation as to why…

I think it was about year 2000 +/- I was about 23 yrs old… I’ve tried a most of the big distros, and was using Ubuntu for the longest time. Now it’s Mint I use…

This would only make sense, if all people were baking with the exact same ingredients, in the exact same environment, with the exact same equipment. You know, like in a factory.

For households and the like, it makes sense to have a bit of variation, until you find the way that makes it perfect for you.

I’d recommend using Make MKV if possible, and then you might use Handbrake to transcode it.
