Thats another issue and doesn't lessen the importance of this issue. Both are important but separate. One is about patiwnt data, the other about my voice model. Also in thsi case I have no control over the mesical records and it's already stored outside the hospital in my case.
I agree and I suspect this planned system might get scuttled before release due to legal problems. That's why I framed it in a non legal way. I want my bosses to understand the privacy issue, both in this particular case but also in future cases.
Used to use Windows 98 SE. First introduced to Mandrake Linux around 2000. Had no Internet, got the install media from a friend of my father. Barely got it working and couldn't read English. Went back to Windows XP. Ubuntu came. Began to use it around 2008 for a few years. Back to windows briefly and then Raspberry Pi was launched. Switched to Linux permanently.
Almost went back in 2013 due to Lightroom, gaming and a few work related medical software.
Began to grasp FOSS maturely in 2014 and switched to alterbative software. When Steam launched Proton there was no turning back.
I was obsessed but it has come and gone. Now I'm a bit of a nuissance to friends sllwly switching them to alternative software. My partner gets the worst treatment. Now she uses hardware security keys, assymetric keys auth etc
Unfortunately that Samsung flavour of chrome is hopekessly outdated. Always a few releases behind and shouldn't be used for security reasons.
No problem. It probably won't be the one you end up with if you stick to Linux for a couple of years but as I said don't distro-hop. The big jump is the one to Linux. The difference between distributions isn't that important. Good luck!
I'd say don't over think it. Just pick a distribution and try to stick with it. The vast choices is also a curse for newcomers. It definitely delayed my journey by years going back to Windows.
Start with something well supported, I'd pick Mint.
Get games or whatever you use the computer for the most to work OK. Nvidia don't like Linux, pick AMD.
Be prepared to give up some old habits instead of forcing windows software on Linux. For example I had to give up Lightroom and as a photography hobbyist it was hard at first. Now I use Darktable and the switch back to Lightroom today seems equally hard.
So in short. Install a beginner friendly distro and get the most important stuff working and begin using the computer as much as possible.
The rendering in Organic Maps is great I think.
Unfortunately the interface of the medical records system will be changed when this is implemented. The keyboard input method will be entirely removed.
