sobs in retail worker

i've been using a samsung chromebook plus since it launched until now... and it's end-of-support next month. being a typical human with low funds for new gear, i WAS considering a new chromebook of some kind. The chrome drm bullshit doesn't effect me too much as I use this mostly within the linux container, or firefox android version... however, I realize i need to take a stand and not financially support these tyrants.

so, what are my options? a pinebook running debian? are there any good netbooks out there? I don't use this thing for games or streaming media at all - mostly ssh, some browsing, etc. it's about time I take the final steps to de-goog my life.

i hope someone brings up the choice for webview, too

including Vanadium?

i use radicale via davx5 to accomplish the same thing. added bonus is selfhosted calendar and contacts.

ghost commander is a foss option that works with smb out of the box

i've been using it for a few years and love it. Started out as a way to keep my to-do and task lists organized and accessible from more than just my phone (f-droid tasks/astrid app is amazing, too). Then I started using the calendar side of it when I started to move away from google crap.

I still need to wrap my monkey brain around reverse proxy so I can access it externally.

Oh, and I wish it had a webdav component for some more fluid file backups and sharing.

i'm in the middle of this process now, and just frustrating myself. i've forgotten too much of the inner workings of the kernel - that is, my old knowledge doesn't apply anymore. I've got a dualboot working, but can't for the life of me get the wifi module to load. not relevant to this thread, so i won't dirty it up. but, thank you for getting my head in the right space!

i will, somehow, get some flavor working
