  • Just FYI, take a look at how YNAB works — which is a paid app, but with a great approach: you track your spending for a while, and then basically always know how much you can spend on various categories of things. Idk what the workflow is in modern budgeting apps, but back in the day YNAB was rather different from the more typical accounting-type software like GNUCash. One of its tenets is that you don’t spend money which you don’t actually have, i.e. the credit card debt.







  • KDE will never work the same as MacOS until its control panel looks about the same as MacOS’ system preferences app. Idk what it’s like now, but back in my day KDE’s settings looked more like Windows’ registry editor, and KDE was obviously influenced by Windows while Gnome 2 was influenced by MacOS.


  • Regarding email, consider buying a personal domain for your email address. You specify the ip addresses of the email provider in the domain’s DNS, and on the provider’s side specify that the domain is for your email box. This way, if the email provider doesn’t work out, you only need to change the DNS records to another provider, instead of changing the email address on accounts (which is often impossible).

    However, not all email providers support custom domains, and some only do that on paid tiers.
