Ah, I know the one. I’ve used it for Google Drive in the past. I didn’t know it could do Onedrive too though.

That makes sense, thanks :)

Thanks :)

I take it that’s a third party client that syncs with MS Onedrive?

A developer, Abraunegg, has made a Linux tool that syncs a Microsoft Onedrive account with a Linux system, in the same way that the Microsoft Onedrive tool does on Windows. They’ve named their tool Onedrive too.

I didn’t know if you were talking about Microsoft Onedrive compatibility in Gnome, or Abraunegg’s Onedrive. It gets a bit confusing when they both have the same name.

the most recent version of GNOME has OneDrive support

Just to check, do you mean the Microsoft version of Onedrive, or the abraunegg Linux version?

Abraunegg’s version is brilliant, but the MS version would make my life easier :)

I might be wrong, but I remember reading that they removed the objectionable content after the fuss that was kicked up.

Thanks for replying :)

I’m trying to learn how to use Docker at the moment, but not getting very far. I may be able to use it for this in the future, but for now I need to stick with what I know :)

I’ll give it a look, thanks :)

I hadn’t considered it, I thought it was just for SBCs.

I’ll give it a try in a VM, thanks :)

At the moment, Docker is frying my brain >.<

I’m trying it out with a handful of programs, and I’m struggling so far. Too many of the guides assume that you already have a certain level of Docker knowledge, and can be very confusing. It’s something that I’m going to have to look at in the future :)

Thanks for the detailed reply :)

I’ve tried setting up a separate profile on my laptop for the main site that I manage, but I’m finding the permissions to be difficult. I need to transfer files from my existing profile to the new website profile, but I keep getting all sorts of errors telling me that I’m not allowed, even if I put the users in the same group and give the group read and write access, or if I try changing ownership to the website user.

I’ve probably set up something wrong with the new user, but it made me think about other ways of doing it, and how to back it up. I’m probably going with a VM so that as well as a regular backup, I can back up the whole VM and store a copy on other physical computers. If something goes wrong, like my laptop getting stolen, I can just fire up the VM on another computer and keep working.

@[email protected] had a good idea though, of using different themes and the logo to help differentiate them. I think I’ll use that whichever way I go.

XFCE is a good idea, thanks. I use Xubuntu on my media server at the moment, so I’m used to the way that it works. I like the look of KVM too. Apparently it’s faster than VirtualBox, and that’s usually fine for my needs, so it should be good :)

Having different Firefox and Thunderbird profiles under the same login is something that I’m definitely avoiding. I’ve tried things like that in the past, and have trouble keeping them separated. I have some memory issues, probably related to ADHD, and find it too easy to open the wrong copy of a program when I’m focused on something else.

Ironically, JWM is the reason I don’t use distros like Puupy os DSL. For some reason, I just can’t get on with it. I don’t know if it’s muscle memory or something, but I just can’t get to grips with it.

Saying that though, it’s always worth another shot. As you suggest, I should only need the two programs, and maybe something lime FileZilla, so starting them at boot should help too :)

Alpine does seem to be the popular distro in the thread :)

I’m planning on trying it out tonight and seein g how I get on with the package manager, not that I should need it much after the initial installation.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Profiles are what I’m trying to avoid. I have memory issues, possibly linked to ADHD, so I need the isolation more than the RAM savings. If everything’s inside a container, I’ve got less chance of launching the wrong instance and screwing something up.

I have, but I don’t like the WM. I’ll have another look at it though and see what it’s like with VMs :)

I tend to use Debian for VM clients because essentially all blogs assume apt-get and I hate Ubuntu.

This is why I usually use Mint :D

Thanks for the suggestion, but NixOS is a bit too complicated for what I need right now :)

Thanks for the suggestion :)

I like the look of these, thanks :)

I’ll have to skip Artix for this job, as I’m still relatively new to Linux, and can’t afford to be learning lots with this, but it’s definitely one I’m going to try out and play with :)

It looks great, thanks :)

I’m nojt sure whether I’m going to use it for this, as I haven’t had a chance to try the package manager yet, but I’m definitely going to be giving it a test drive, even if it’s only to see what it can do with such low requirements :)

I like that idea, thanks :)
