  • onedriver

    A native Linux filesystem for Microsoft OneDrive

    Yeah, it has a GUI for setting things up. Simple stuff, click on + icon to add account(s), toggle mounting on/off, and toggle automount on startup. The only issue is that to use custom cache, you have to specify using the CLI, and that it doesn't play well with indexing (leads to over-caching, hence custom cache).

  • onedrive

    OneDrive Client for Linux

    Insync for onedrive. It works better than the this onedrive

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • winapps

    Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration.

    "Worst case": I use Winapps and Teamviewer when something I need to do is too much of a hassle to do on Linux or otherwise can't be done. The only issue with Winapps is that it's too taxing on my aging machine, which is why it's a less resort, when I need things like macros and such. Teamviewer in general helps, though, since it allows me to access office resources even when working from home.

  • howdy

    🛡️ Windows Hello™ style facial authentication for Linux

    I think it's gotten easier as I saw in the github for howdy it's just "sudo howdy add". The longer instructions was mainly juuust in case there's some weird things going on with your system. And fingerprint unlock is apparently already implemented on GNOME and KDE now?
