What distro do you recommend?
Thanks for this clarification! That is slightly more palatable.
Wow, this is really insightful! Thank you so much for digging into this. I learned something!
I should say I’m more interested in a good multi-device sync than long-term backup, so that sounds good for Proton.
I’ve only been using it since… well… since I posted this. But so far the experience is great! They have an easy guide for migrating from Google Photos (basically they can import a Takeout export directly).

I’ve got it installed on my phone with automatic backups enabled. It had no issues with duplicates from both Takeout and the existing photos on my phone. (I even did the upload twice due to running out of space the first time, and there were no dupes). The app has a pretty similar design to Google Photos, so it feels familiar. It also supports Google’s version of “live photos”.
You can create links to share albums or individual photos, and you can also add people to your plan.
I enabled the local machine learning analysis and, while it’s not perfect, it does make for a pretty nice searching experience.
P.S. I promise this is not an ad! I’m running out of Google storage and figured this was as good a time as any to de-Google my photos. Ente came up as a frequent cloud solution. If you’re looking for self-hosted, Immich is far and away the most popular.
What DE do you use?
It would apply to files and folders in Dolphin (file explorer) as well.

Not that I like Windows
Hmm…
Seriously tho, agreed!
What DE do you use?
In the English quote, doesn’t “for” really mean “because”, not “but”?
If you mean the chicken, it’s hardly an ad since I navigated to their site. 😆
Despite the title, I was just trying to check the menu lol. 🥲
Thank you!! I’m trying it out now and it’s definitely very promising. I love the swipe on backspace to select and delete. I do wish it had long press on backspace to delete a single word. That plus lowering the long press time makes it so easy to make corrections.
I hate how good SwiftKey’s autocorrect is. I’m definitely on the hunt for a good alternative in this thread.
Why’s that?
I wish they’d fix and release the nightly. It so cool looking
Are there any screenshots of the nightly? I’m curious if it looks good enough to switch back.
Aged like wine!
That’s so cute!
It can be encrypted…
