I so very much hope that the Linux gaming effect increases. Not only for gaming, but for the productivity world. If development of these 'compatibility layers' (Wikipedia) like Proton, Wine improves and maybe win-native software (thinking of CAD in particular) can be made working reliably on Linux using these packages, one or the other big player might adapt. That would be a much cheaper way of expanding the software's range than developing and maintaining a native Linux port...

... and maybe I am too naive.

I've spent half a day yesterday to set up a VM running Debian on my office's Win PC. Since I'm tied to Windows because of my proprietary CAD, my plan is to limit my interaction to a minimum and instead do everything else in the Linux-VM. With shared drives and drag'n'drop I hope it will work out. It comes in also very handy that I started years ago to strictly choose open source software that's available for both platforms - so no learning curve. Since MS won't listen - we all need to laudly complain about the lack of linux support towards our software providers. And yes, maybe too naïve, it will change something in the long run.

Which DeepL translates to

"Experience means nothing. You can do a bad job for 35 years."

Not strictly life changing, but a very valuable reminder, if you need to deal with 'that' kind of person.

Thanks for the feedback. To add to the clients: Voyager has implemented a quite well working search function, but got veeery slow on Firefox recently. But it's important to mention that (my guess) this behavior is not Voyager's fault, but conspiracy on rather Firefox' requests are handled with lower priority... Yep, just a personal feeling, nothing I could prove.

In German we use the English term 'understatement' in some occasions, e.g. 'his dressing style is a clear understatement...'. My brain somehow tied the meaning to something like 'understanding', maybe due to the similarities of both words. For decades it was clear to me that someone dressing like that were dressed to the point and 'making a clear statement'. Now that I've checked the real meaning, I'm completely puzzled when and how to use the term and what I've misinterpreted all the years...

I cannot give a general advice, but what worked for me is to put 'my' world's history in a chronological order using a time line. What started when, which incidence is the root cause for the other and so on. Climbing this ladder year by year was and still is great fun. And If you ask for a software, I'd straight away would answer 'Obsidian'. It's link/ backlink feature is just awesome to keep your ideas structured. Have fun and good luck!

Although not an android app, I'd like to mention Firefox' Feedbro add-on. Since Mozilla recently announced (if I'm not wrong here) to make the desktop add-ons available in the mobile version, maybe Feedbro will be part of it?
