Yay. Welcome (back?) to the Tux team! I realised how many old photos I still have stored on Facebook the other day. I think un-cloud-ifying is going to be one of my long term projects too. So I look forward to hearing how you go.

I’m going to have to do it fast because starting from December I’m going to lose access :(

I’ve tried Linux before but not as my main. This is basically to test out and see if I can switch over for most things because I viscerally hate Windows 11

I've been on linux for years. LibreOffice is prettty good as an MS office replacement. I don't play a lot of PC games so I've never missed that. I reckon you'll be fine.

Problems might include document compatibility when dealing with organisations and possibly WebEx or Zoom. I’ll work it all out on this old machine as I get time and energy though. I have a lot of more urgent stuff to do before then. One step at a time

Yell out if you find any issues. I use Ubuntu as my biz laptop. Zoom and IIRC Webex are ok and I have had to work around document compatibility a bit so I know some tricks :)

Thanks so much. I’ll probably be asking a lot when it comes time to try and get stuff working
