Gonna also throw in: Nextcloud Memories.
It makes the photo organizing part of NextCloud AMAZING. I'm so happy I got to dump Google Photos for good.

but I'm embarrassed to admit I actually don't know what the difference between linux distros are.
I think you're courageous to admit it in spite of feeling embarrassed, and I admire that.
If we all ask and share without ego, the world gets just a little bit better. :)

I'm gonna claim "the coldbrew" for us, because it's always refreshing, chill, and in constant rotation. It might take a little longer to brew, but that's so it doesn't destabilize your entire system. Ahh...so smooth. :)
(I dunno if this analogy holds up but hey I'm taking a shot lol)
then they're stupid rapture is on its way.
Can I...can I ramble a sec for anybody willing to see this?
I was raised around this rapture insanity. There's lots of evidence that this entire interpretation of Revelation isn't even an apocalyptic prophecy at all. That whole thing might have been started by some con artist named Darby in VERY recent history.
It angers me personally, because it screwed up my perspective in my formative years. Thinking the world was going to end any minute anyway and all the boomers were so friggin excited about that. What the actual hell.
From a believer's perspective, and I mean actually reading the book, it's infuriating, that this recent "trendy interpretation" of The Bible has been the excuse to completely wreck the planet we were given and hurt so many beautiful people and living things.
These scum claim to be godly, but treat ~~their~~ OUR home like a shitty rock-band treats a hotel room, and they think they're magically going to just get whooshed away from the consequences after they instigate WWIII to try and what, strongarm God into coming back because He smelled smoke and ruin?!
I want to band up with other believers against this "republichristian" cult. I wanna shout this from the rooftops.
But I'll be honest, I also don't want bombs sent to my house. I could rant on this all day, but American Christianity used to be a thorn in the side of capitalists. Christians helped everybody, sheltered them in their churches, didn't force them to rely on whatever the gilded assholes were selling, created community. Christians used to be good people, dammit. Christians used to be straight-up BASED.
But capitalists absolutely made a concerted effort to turn it into the monster we have today. Where people claim to follow a God who warned them against swearing oaths, while being the strongest supporters of "pledging allegiance" to "a flapping pretty banner and its current owners at the moment."
"Americhristianism" is the Devil's most clever work of our time. Now more people just automatically blanket-hate Christians than ever. Nice friggin' evangelism right?!
Breaks my heart. Feels like screaming against a deadly avalanche of stupid...
(Behind the Bastards podcast has a great couple episodes on "How the Rich Ate Christianity")
The "protect children online" act or whatever. Ugh.
Could be..."Jondo" like, a mononym hahaha.
Which is both entirely understandable, and also tragic because Canada's indigenous written characters are so cool. :D
But also, it's gotta be neat having a name among your people, that "the state" has nothing to do with...
If you wanna try Arch + KDE without hassle, well Arch has an easier installer now, but I use EndeavourOS. It's a lovely smooth Arch experience!
Very easy installer with lots of options to choose from. :)
Yes! Great way of putting it. It's hard to explain how just using an OS can be a fun hobby in itself.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed does it all for me. I work and play games on it and stuff, but my laptop is less mission critical, so I run EndeavourOS on it and experiment with fun layouts and everything is all "frutiger-aero-esque". It feels like how I nostalgicallyremember those WinXP-7 days!
Snapper rollbacks with BTRFS are incredible for letting you play around with an OS you actually use, and still giving you a cushion to fall back on. :D
My little media streamer / guest PC has Mint. Nice, maybe a little boring, predictable, reliable. Ahhh simplicity. :)
I'm so glad it was helpful! You're very welcome! I try to spread the word since NextCloud's default photo app...scares people away frankly lol.
I now use an extension to customize the menu, so Memories effectively replaces the default app from a user point of view.
Using Memories in Nextcloud AiO simplifies things a bit, but I seriously consider it NextCloud's "killer app." It's got EXIF editing, albums, user sharing, folder organizing, facial (and object!) recognition done locally, geo tagging map view...all local. The face recognizing stuff isn't perfect, but it's definitely good enough for the most part.
It's also very easy to send to people outside NextCloud, but I run it behind TailScale so it's not exposed to the open net at all. Copying and sending images through something like Signal also works fine. :)
It even has a neat Android app that sends my pictures to my server whenever I plug my phone in. (And moves them to my SD card in case something goes awry...but I learned I need to manage the cleanup of that part better lol)
Given all the other neat things NextCloud does, I like how it keeps photo managing in one place too.
