deb-get VS onedriver

deb-get For last resort. But DistroBox and Flatpak will give you all the software you want.

There's no dark magic involved. That software basically has its own repository built in: https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/blob/main/01-main/README.md

Install and use Deb get if the software center does not satisfy your needs

The first thing I would do here is make sure that your keyboard is set to the correct locale and layout. You can check this under Settings -> Keyboard The next thing to note is that the key code send by laptop keyboards are often proprietary and don't work out of the box. You can use xev / xorg-xev to see what key code is returning and update your key bindings. What is the recommended way to install applications? Ignore the Pop OS shop? Is it an app to app decision? Thank you for the recommendation. Use apt or the pop shop for most things but for proprietary things I'd use deb-get or just download directly. Flatpaks and Snaps are great but doesn't always have the best system level integrations. This is a serious problem with Linux on the desktop in general and I'm looking forward to an os agnostic package format becoming dominate.

Lastly, deb-get + pacstall + bauh. All of these combined covers 99% of my software needs, much less need to find and install PPAs and .deb manually. Still not as convenient as AUR, but much better than it was before. Hopefully, eventually everything is on Flatpak, snap, or AppImage so I could just use Bauh for most apps, but for now, I'm glad that these tools exists.

I got my start to Linux with PopOS, and so I will vouch for that. They look good, have good tools, and cares a lot about the desktop experience. Also, they have a built-in recovery partition, so even if you f'd yourself, you can reset from the Settings menu or from the boot menu. It is Ubuntu-based, and be sure to check out deb-get and pacstall for some third-party apps.

apt-get and deb-get is totally different. apt-get is deb default, deb-get is different. Here, read up on it. https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get

Nice. If you're looking for apps on PopOS and other Ubuntu derivatives, you can also use deb-get and pacstall to get certain 3rd party and proprietary apps not in the package manager.

onedriver is a native Linux filesystem for Microsoft OneDrive: - https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver

Alternatively, I read good things about https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver which can download only the files that I need at times instead of the whole account, but looking at the install methods on debian, there's only information regarding Debain 10 and 11 installs. For example, I can install .deb packagaes here, but again only refers to deb 10/11.

There are OneDriveGUI which uses abraunegg's onedrive client as backend, onedriver which has been around with a GUI for longer, and of course the classic Insync which is paid.

I am a big big fan of the OneDriver client - https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver

* Via the 'onedriver' client - https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver - Native file system that only provides the OneDrive 'on-demand' functionality, open source and free. Supports Personal, Business account types. Currently does not support Shared Folders or SharePoint.

When you get to it - there are only 5 reliable ways to access OneDrive on Linux/Unix platforms: * Via the OneDrive Client for Linux - https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive - this 'syncs' your data, bi-directional operation, open source and free. Supports Personal, Business & SharePoint account types and Shared Folders. A Docker container is also available for all major architectures (x86_64, ARMHF, AARCH64). If you need a GUI for onedrive client management use: https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI * Via the 'onedriver' client - https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver - Native file system that only provides the OneDrive 'on-demand' functionality, open source and free. Supports Personal, Business account types. Currently does not support Shared Folders or SharePoint. * Via 'rclone' - https://rclone.org/ - one way sync client, open source and free. Has limitations with SharePoint. * Via non-free clients such as 'insync', 'ExpanDrive' * Via the web browser of your choice

There are OneDrive clients for Linux already, e.g. https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive or https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver.

Take a look at OneDriver. Its a decent OneDrive client for Linux and works really well! It should pair up nicely with LibreOffice, which is a Microsoft Office alternative that is preinstalled on most Distros. Don’t worry, Google Drive also works (honesty not as good as OneDriver). most distros should allow your to “connect to online accounts,” which should allow you to sign in with your g account.
