Fastmail works really well with Thunderbird. Need to use an app called Davx5 on Android for calendar and contact sync.

The only two that have been good to me and still going strong is Plex and PocketCasts with their lifetime memberships. That was a good deal. But too many to name that turned out to absolutely not lifetime. GPS systems definitely the worst culprits.

Custom OpenBox and tint2 setup.

I remembering it being bundled for free on a CD with a computer magazine

Looking into Waydroid thanks 👍

Have tried to use Anbox, seriously painful to install and get working properly (Debian), and then equally annoying to install apps, and they’re still not really first class citizens like other Linux apps. The experience should be as easy as what Wine have achieved.

It is surprisingly hard to run Android apps on Linux, despite Android itself being Linux based. Being able to run Android apps quickly and natively would be a game changer for Linux, resolving long standing issues of app availability. Hell you could even then use Android version of Microsoft Office etc. This should be a higher priority for all distros.

Until then, there are apps that are simply unavailable on Linux, even with Wine support, that necessitate using Windows or macOS.

Inter Display - all UI stuff, it is designed for max legibility on screens. In Debian repos as fonts-inter

PragmataPro - all monospace/code. Paid for it 15 years ago and worth it, best mono font

Utopia Std - all serif document text. Purchased all the way back in 1998 and used for every doc i’ve ever written.

Props also to the complete IBM Plex family which is solid for sans, serif, and mono versions.

Another for crunchbang++ a really good minimal Debian distro with no desktop environment, just Openbox window manager. Have been using since it picked up from the original crunchbang. Have built my own kinda desktop environment how I like it and I will never change.
