“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.

That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.

Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

I’m just waiting for a good 2-in-1 Linux solution to come around. I don’t have the programming chops to try and make something myself.

I’d love to have something like Gboard (maybe de-googled) that completely deactivates when in laptop-mode.

I don’t even mind if it’s Xorg or Wayland at this point.
