  • I used a lenovo x380 yoga with Fedora. I seldom used it in tablet form, but the keyboard appeared when swiping up from the bottom in GNOME. I did not like it as well as the windows one. I tried KDE as well, I had a better experience there as there are more config options for it. As for drivers and sensors like for the hinge positions, wacom touch stuff all just worked.


  • Yeah, I tried tuta. I have (overall less but) the same issue with proton. I just want to use my own client apps of choice.

    I have registered with mailbox.org and while the trial period is very limited, the web ui is minimalistic and basic looking. You could say outdated. I seriously consider paying for a “team” account for me and my wife. The price is unbeatable. Aside from the gui, the features I need are there.

    I just need the Wife’s approval. She’d be migrating from yahoo of all places.


  • I can second most of the suggestions. I do not host an office suite (for now?) but I am syncing my keepass dbs over syncthing along with my notes and important documents. I think since 2016 or so. It works well.

    Before I had a server I just synced them in a triangle between my phone, laptop and desktop. Most things had 3 copies this way. Any device could offload changes to another. Now I have a central node and the option to sync as before if the server is down. With Tailscale, I don’t need to be on the same wifi now eiter.

    The keepassDX limitations are not a big deal if all you need is basic autofill.

    Mail providers are hard to chose. I am leaving proton for the lack of easy smtp and their locked in nature. Get your oen domain and you will be able to switch more easily in the future.


  • After registering I wasn’t even able to pay for a sub to check out their offering for myself. English docs are lacking. I think they are focusing on fr and nl regions. Support e-mail autoreply also only replies in those languages. They are really small scale, ~2000 users by their own admission. Which is ok, but if you advertise a service, at least let people pay for it, so they can start using it, however janky it is.




  • Revolut was mentioned before, but let me elaborate on it.

    They are essentially a bank but you can open an account through their app with the needed IDs.

    You load money onto your account via a card payment from a conventional bank account, so no transfer fees apply in that sense.

    They have one time use virtual cards and free persistent virtual cards. You can order physical ones if you want. You can set limits and recurring transactions per card. It even recognizes subscripition services and lets you know in advance if you need to top up the account before a payment is due.

    Caveat: ads for their own services to buy crypto, gold, stocks and crap. I personally wouldn’t keep huge sums on my account, but know people who use it extensively. Even after years of usage, they werent burnt yet.

    I have no experience with customer service, as I only use it for what you are looking for. According to the internet, their CS can be abysmal.
