Five Linux Apps to Install on Day One
I read a How to Geek blog post titled 5 apps new Linux users should install on day one (HT Tux Machines). The author, Dibakar Ghosh, recommended the following apps: GNOME Tweaks and GNOME Extensions (if using GNOME) KDE Connect or GSConnect A Chromium-based browser OnlyOffice Flatpak All five recommendations are sensible.

I just bought my first ebook outside of the Amazon 'ecosystem'! Tracey Nicholls' An Ethics of Improvisation.
- Found it on https://www.ebook.de/de
- Managed it via Calibre
-Added it to ZoteroIt was *much more expensive* than on Amazon, but we all know how Amazon keeps their prices so incredibly low, therefore supporting an EU-based infrastructure felt like doing the right thing.
So far it seems a wonderful book.

REMINDER: clock is ticking with Amazon changing the ability to USB transfer Kindle content to your computer.
Converted all my Kindle purchases to PDF. Thankfully not a huge lift when using Calibre. It does batching. I didn't have that many documents.
I didn't get into Kindle much - devices were off-putting (too small) so never fully bought into it for casual reading. Technical reading had other issues (image quality). Also cloud crap... so bit of a mental barrier as well (yes, I've always been this way - ha).
I bought a few readers to stick in the glove boxes of my hobby cars as portable copies of the service manuals. The idea was to have them in the glovebox when things go pear shaped when overlanding or on race day (bt/dt). But, ideas that never really fully materialized in an organized manner.

My "#speedReading" basically brings me up to "normal fast" since I'm a slow reader. I am considering seeing if I can get #Calibre to embed the #OpenDyslexic #font since that also improves reading speeds...
