Gnome because it is the default in my district, works right out of the box and I’m too old to fart around with customizing things anymore.

I just want to get to work.

I really should do another review. I’ve had my Framework for about the same time. Most of the time it is hooked up to my dock and a 4 port KVM. My biggest annoyance is that switching back to my Framework on the KVM it often doesn’t wake up or properly display. My work computers running Windows rarely have that issue and my Linux desktop never does. (I run Linux on the Framework.) I suspect that there is a setting I need to adjust for diving to keep it from going into hibernation, but I haven’t put that much effort into it yet.

When not docked, my biggest issue is the touchpad. I think some form of dirt got into it and the clicking doesn’t always register. But I’m too lazy to fix.

And if I watch videos it gets pretty hot. Again, there are probably things I could do to fix that.

So, really the laptop is great, I’m just a shitty owner/user.

My hinges are not the floppy ones.

I’m not sure about libre office, but Excel has lookup and lookup. I’ve not personally used those. But might be of help.

I have the same issue. I want something simple but has encryption, native mobile apps for both Android and iOS, and threading. Facebook style posts with comments would be great.

For now we’re using matrix and element bc I can find anything better. Unless something more compelling comes along we’ll probably migrate to something xmpp based like snikket.

Has anyone tried selfhosting ente photos? Curious how well it works.

Yeah, I have a 4 port KVM. One for my work issued Surface laptop, one for my mini-pc, one for my Framework 13, and one for any computer that I’m troubleshooting. I’m thinking about moving to my Framework fully and changing the mini-pc into another node for self-hosting setup.

I am one of those gifted folks that enjoy astigmatism. I have tried dark mode and dark themes many times over the years and it just doesn’t work for me. The screenshots are gorgeous tho!

Just wanted to share a follow up.

The dock works great under most circumstances. The issue that i have, which was listed by others in reviews for many different docks, is when connected through my KVM. It takes forever to sync up and drive my display. By forever, I mean 30+ seconds most of the time, and occasionally I have to disconnect the cable, open the laptop lid and then reconnect the cable.

Sorry, I thought I replied.

Thank you for the correction.

Agreed, OpenAudible is fantastic. I’ve been an audible member for ages. I really only listen to my books when commuting and traveling and the pandemic set me back in my listening. Using OpenAudible allows me to keep my library available on any device and use any application to listen.

Item1: I would love something along these lines. Honestly, I wish I could configure Thunderbird to be my journal and reference my to-do items programmatically from inside journal entries.

Similar to your wish for first class dark mode, I want light mode to also be first class. Too many apps lately have made dark mode default and the light mode is unusable.

Thanks, I received the caldigit have set it up. Everything seems to be working.

So, I took the advice of @steal_your_face and got the caldigit ts3. I had to grab a displayport to hdmi adapter since I don’t have displayport cables.

So far, I have the display working at full 3840x2160. It struggled at first, but eventually Fedora got it working without any changes. I did have to unplug and plug in the usb-c cable. Mouse and Keyboard recognized without issue. Audio through the dock to the screen to speaker is working. Mounted and worked with files on usb drive, no issues. Videos played off the usb drive fine.

So, in short, it works as expected, no extra setup/config required.

I hate returning stuff, but sometimes it just can’t be avoided.

I’ve ordered the Caldigit TS3. I’ll update after I get a chance to test it.

I was thinking a desktop app. I’ve played with imapnotes3 and jtxboard.

Yeah, me too. Whenever Fedora made the move to Wayland by default for Gnome.

Don’t leave us hanging, what is this mystical notes app that syncs over imap?

I hope they really do it. I’d love notes in Thunderbird.

I got this last year and it has traveled up and down the East Coast, as well to the South West. Gone by plane and car. I have used it with my Surface laptop running Windows for work, my personal Framework 13 running Fedora Linux, and my Nintendo switch.

Is it great? I don’t know, but it works.

Joplin has a plug-in that can grab todos and reveal them all in one spot. You can use tags with it as well. Although I believe it only works on desktop? I haven’t tried on phone/tablet. https://github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-inline-todo#readme
