I found and installed onlyoffice today. Much nicer UI than libreOffice and better for migrating family off Microsoft Office as it basically looks the same! I’ve installed it on the main computer and set it as default app. Will see if anyone complains and then we’re one step closer to installing Linux on it. Also see onlyoffice can be web based and self hosted.

Everyone only uses a browser, file explorer and occasionally word and excel. Want done with Windows.

A friend has talked me into moving off of Gmail. I’ve wanted to do it but just never quite get round to it. He suggested getting a separate domain from my websites, which I like the idea of, and then use something like protonmail. The first problem is deciding what the domain should be. Short and name based or something random like running.horse or ruddy.duck and the ironic email.sucks. Not checked if any of these are available but anyway. Icelandic domain .is don’t charge more for short domains. So if a.is was available it would be the same price as anything-else.is. There are a few I quite like but the domain is more expensive than others.

This is probably why I never changed email before.
