We have to do all of our calls on Teams because we work with participants and it’s a bit more secure than Zoom (which can have people straight up bombing your call for funsies). And if we’re already using it for that, idea is we may as well use it as a shared drive too. An ugly and buggy one.
Yeah!! I haven’t had any trouble with it yet, my laptop has only one SSD slot which is why I did it on the same one. I just switch when I boot up. I have the Windows one just in case I can’t get a game to run and to access my work’s shared drive (absolutely cannot figure it out on Linux lol)
Lots of Linux distributions are specifically built for older laptops! And all of them tend to run pretty well on lower end equipment. Here’s a list that also mentions the specs needed for each one: https://linuxsimply.com/best-linux-distros-for-old-laptops/
Linux Mint, probably the most popular one on all computers nowadays regardless of specs, has a minimum RAM requirement of 2GB with 4GB recommended :) they make Linux distros for old tiny Raspberry Pi computers so even if your computer is a hundred years old you’ll probably be able to run TinyCore on it at least
Teams has decided it won’t recognise like 50% of word docs anymore. So you can no longer edit them within teams and have to download them. If you simply read and scroll down it, the scroll glitches so bad for no reason. Ugh
Copying my response from above for u!
I’ve been using Zotero since I converted a few weeks back. It has some really useful plugins, so I would recommend adding this one first- it’s like a store where you can easily browse and add them :))
I’ve using using it with Obsidian (there’s a short guide you can find online), so while I’m writing an essay in Obsidian I can just hit a key shortcut and it lists every paper I’ve saved to Zotero. Then when I click one, it adds the citation!

I switched for the first time a few weeks ago!! I didn’t realise until I booted my Windows partition earlier for work that I hadn’t used it one single time since I did that because it was still open on the download page and forced a hundred updates on me 😅 it’s really fun and freeing, I’ve tried a few and settled on Pop!_OS because I love the simplicity, the pretty desktop environment and the window tiling
I mean, they do CLAIM to be. Idk how truthful that is tho
Crazy that there’s pretty much nothing we can fully trust as consumers 🥲
I like Floorp but i have no idea how much more/less private it is. I just like customising it
If a bot can develop your software better than you then you’re a shit software dev
Can you not use Firefox on apple products? They’ve got extensions for that I’m sure
