After convincing my employer to move away from MS office I can finally make the permanent switch away from windows.
I settled on pop_os for now since it supports hybrid Nvidia graphics out of the box and I am a noob.
Two questions:
-
I used OneDrive, and especially the file on-demand (all files on server visible in explorer but only downloaded when needed) feature a lot. What cloud storage provider has the best Linux integration? I dabbled with NeXtCloUD but the Linux client is not great, especially the file on-demand implementation.
-
What are best practices for managing apps? The last time I entertained the idea of switching, I ended up with applications installed from the snap store, flatpacks, some appimages, some through apt. It quickly gets confusing for me when I want a specific program but it, f.ex., is only distributed through the snap store. Is there a GUI (I know) way to see all applications, where they’re installed from, with an easy remove button? Akin to what windows offers?
This is the best answer, but I would like to just add a tip:
Try “Online Accounts” inside settings, should work without installing anything else (I’ve never tried it, but should work).
Screenshot
Online Accounts only supports Outlook mail at the moment, so it’s not a Onedriver replacement yet.
It does work, but doesn’t always work as well as some third party clients. That’s also assumes everyone is using gnome.
OP said is using pop_os and for the time being pop still ships gnome.
