Many wins in the last couple of weeks after a month following Techlore:
Installed Linux Lubuntu on a very old Toshiba laptop circa 2009.
Painstakingly switched all my TOTP accounts over from Authy to Ente Auth.
Downloaded all my Google Data from my Drive and have begun the deletion process of the account. Moved all G Docs over to OnlyOffice and have begun using it with a bit of a struggle. Have not yet found a worthy replacement for G Voice in terms of user-friendliness, bare basic features and cost in order to port my G Voice number to.
Closed my Telegram account, opened Signal. No success in convincing anyone I know on WhatsApp to migrate to Signal.
Downloaded Virtualbox and have tinkered with a virtualized Fedora Silverblue with some success.
Have begun using email aliases from Apple “Hide My Email”.
Downloaded and installed Postmaster Firewall.
Downloaded and installed Reeder and subscribed to a ton of RSS feeds.
But… in the not-wins column:
Had issues using Cryptomator on Windows - after installation being successful and creating a vault, selecting “Reveal My Drive” always brings up an error stating the drive cannot be found and that it may have been moved or deleted, which is not true. Have searched everywhere and have not managed to find answers for this issue.
Backed off on my commitment to adding a dual-boot environment on a Windows laptop and adding Fedora Silverblue alongside it after reading some known issues on Fedora forum regarding Silverblue not being friendly to dual boot systems.
UPDATE Half-win on this… Managed to install Fedora Silverblue on this Windows laptop BUT for some reason I cannot get the grub menu to show on boot and the system loads directly into Linux with no option to let me choose Windows, only resource is to boot into BIOS to change boot order and then have system boot into Windows with no option to select Fedora.
