  • I also don't have any ties to a specific editor. I use whichever is most convenient at the moment. But I avoid paid IDEs.

  • Go with OpenSuSE Tumbleweed or Fedora, because software updates roll in at a good pace. Stable, easy to use and configure.

    Go with Arch or Manjaro only if you really want the bleeding-edge software versions. You can have some instability as a result, or not. Good luck.

    Don't go with Debian, Ubuntu and likewise, only if you want to make some gymnastics to update your programs every major release. These are the most stable Linux distros.

  • Anyone know of a good wiki/knowledge base software that is portable?

  • Yes. But I don't remember which AI tool I used. It could be GPT-4, Copilot, or Stable Diffusion. I didn't even ask to have my name written, but there it is.

  • What Are Your Favorite FOSS Android Apps?

    Jump

  • Since I am curious but lazy enough to search for the description of each one of these apps, I made an experiment. I asked GPT-4 to generate a description for them. I provided the context below:

     
        
This is a list of FOSS Android apps. I need you to briefly explain in one line what each one of these does.
You should use the knowledge you already have, but on doubt query the https://f-droid.org/

[I included OP full list here]

    I tried twice. In the first one I not included the f-droid context above, and the list he generated have some misleading descriptions. The second try I passed the full prompt above, and the resulting descriptions was better.

    Interestingly, GPT-4 alerts when he search the internet, but in this second try he did not accessed it, but the resulting list was better anyway, although not perfect:
