It’s a good, solid bit of software and just syncs up files. My laptop and desktop data files are synced periodically using Syncthing. Heck, that’s the strength of Linux – options and freedom to choose. If software isn’t available on a repo, it’s nice to be able to grab it via snap, or appimage, or flatpak. I am glad for more options in software format though. Most software I need is available in a different format, so I’m going with that, and it’s fine. I understand it is possible to change the location of the Flatpak files, but that seems like too much of a pain to me, so I’m avoiding Flatpak for the time being. That was great until the root partition got over filled with Flatpak applications, which take up a lot of space. It also runs well, although in an effort to be responsible, I set up separate home and root partitions. My desktop machine currently runs Linux Mint, for the same reason, to get me to stop tinkering and get to work. I don’t promise not to hop over to Manjaro or even PopOS one of these days (I am running a System 76 machine, after all).
ZETTLR NOT INSTALLING IN MANJARO INSTALL
It just invites you to install updates and see what new stuff is out there. I have never had problems with it, but it’s so tinkerable. Sometimes I long for Manjaro XFCE, which is my other favorite distro.
It works well, and I don’t have to fiddle with very much to get it running. When I need to stop twiddling with software and do actual work, I use Ubuntu Mate. (I know, crazy!) I put Ubuntu Mate, which has been my workhorse for some time. When I got my System 76 Gazelle a while back, I made a choice to put one single, lonely operating system on it.
I’ll do an upgrade to 18.10 today most likely, just for fun though. When Ubuntu comes out with version 19.04 I’ll probably do a more major update. But things are working well, so I haven’t torn it all down and started fresh for quite some time.
Which sounds silly, since there hasn’t been a ton of change. I thought I might do a wee computer status update.
