That's a good starter list. However it should be noted that all the Simple apps should be avoided now and instead people should use the forked versions from Fossify.

See the following post for more information: https://lemmy.world/post/11117891

Phone app? Yes you have to use their own app. On a computer besides the browser version you can use Thunderbird and other applications if you download ProtonBridge.

AltTab: Windows alt-tab on macOS

Rectangle: Keyboard based window management.

Linear Mouse: Per-device settings for Mouse, Track Pad, etc. Things like pointer super, scroll direction, and mouse acceleration.

Now that Steam is all in on the Steam Deck and SteamOS there is much better support for games on Linux. See ProtonDB.

Also, the Linux distro Pop!_OS has worked quite well for me for games. I use the NVIDIA version which bundles NVIDIA's propietary library blobs which also helps with the game compatibility.

But all in all I agree with you that even with all of this it is not as smooth as just click and play on Windows. 🙂 Plus some games just don't work on Linux at all so there's that. Lol.

Did you read all three books? Got real WTF in book 2 and 3.

Thank you! I didn't know they also made an app that does this. For anyone looking for the link it's the following: https://grayjay.app/

I'd also recommend looking into their other projects such as their Android voice input app: https://voiceinput.futo.org/

Species from 1995. Parents and their friends were watching it and told us to not come in because it was too scary.

I thought they were bullshitting young me...I was wrong. Lol. Had wonderful nightmares for a while.

I personally use Mullvad and love it but it is not conducive to helping seed due to port forwarding being blocked.

It's very annoying when people do this. Here's a link to the archived version: https://archive.ph/w1XBt

Like another person said they resolved to that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn_and_tesonet/

I guess you decide if you like the response or not but that was a long time ago as well. 🙂

And/or with SponsorBlock if you don't care about sending that data to the open APIs. It's pretty useful if some channels you watch have a lot of sponsors, self promotions, etc.

The problem I had with products like Airalo is that if you are traveling and need to actually call a hotel, excursion, or any company in the country you are visiting you cannot do that with just a data eSIM like Airalo.

Sure you could use WiFi calling maybe but in my experience when I really needed to call someone I had to switch back to my original carrier and incur the $10/day fee.

Why not use Rectangle? While Magnet looks like it probably does a lot more and has more customization I'm having a hard time seeing the difference to make it worth that price vs. free. Can you explain your thoughts? 🙂

Any reason Fennec and not Mull? Just curious.

No problem! Glad I could help someone. I was so happy when I found it so I'm glad it can help others.

Makes sense haha. Whatever works is good. 🙂

I'm using it and a Logitech G502 but I haven't played around to see what things it can and cannot do compared to Logitech's own software. On Linux I use Piper to manage my mouse with a closer parity to Logitech's actual software.

Shelves in a closet, happy thought indeed.

Thank you! I had no idea development had stopped but I see that now in their GitHub repository.

Lol. Just continuous one upping the WTF each episode. It was so good for that.

My problem with Symphony and other music apps like Auxio is that they don't work with audiobooks and file types like m4b. Simple Music Player worked for me when playing all my audio files but now I am waiting for the Fossify version to be published.

Thanks for this! I use Wallabag and love it but doesn't hurt to look at other products. Would be nice if they had an non-Google deploy of their Android app.

Firefox is great and works well on Android yes! I recommend Mull.

However, technically speaking, resources don't fully recommend it due to there being no per-site process isolation yet that works well.

If that doesn't matter to people then sure it's great and better than using Chromium based browsers. 🙂

It's just good to give everyone the information and reasoning why then let them decide.

I personally use Budget with Buckets and it's working quite well.

I just sync my file to a common server for my backup and syncing.

That's all I use and it's been great!

Just a preference thing since it makes it more like how Windows and some Linux distros do window management.

Hitting Alt + Tab brings up a preview of all windows that you have open with the ability to scroll / tab through them.

Hitting Alt + ` while focused on a certain application shows a preview image of each window for that application that you have open.

I personally like it more than the OSX default but to each their own.
