From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can say I get your point however 30 users isn't "scalability", it is just a normal family. I usually try to test random versions of Nextcloud from time to time to see it they've improved however I can't even make it work properly for myself let alone 30 people.
I'm not sure what you consider "great experience" but a lagging webUI that spits dozens of warning and errors into the console doesn't cut it for me. Let alone a piece of shit webmail that isn't even capable of making a bullet list display properly or compose messages in a textarea larger than 200x200.
30 as a normal family is interesting? I think most people wouldn’t consider that normal unless you’re dipping deep into cousins. However, your point is valid though that 30 does not qualify for scalability.
That said, the webUI doesn’t lag at all for me and I have no errors or warnings in the console. No one who uses it has reported those things to me either. Are you sure you set everything up properly? I did have performance problems back when I did still have errors and warnings in my console. If your cron tasks are setup properly everything should be smooth.
To be fair, I don’t have any experience with the webmail though.
Maybe its just because you're not using the webmail, that thing is just poor taste.
Yes, I tried the full manual installation, docker images and whatnot, all about the same. About the lag... most time it's not the UI lagging but every action is slow, takes time to load even on high end hardware. AMD Ryzen 7 5700X + 32 GB of RAM + NVMe Samsung 980 Pro 2TB.
If you’re talking about the little delays, I have experienced them, loading pages can take a second or more when I’m not on home wifi which can be frustrating at times. I think they only occur when you switch apps though.
It’s actually funny, our hardware setups are almost identical lol. Maybe it’s something like ram or ssd speeds. Or maybe software. What OS are you running? I’m using fedora server 39 and podman instead of docker.
The way you talk about the webmail makes it sound incredibly funny. I gotta try it out.
Seems a lot more frequent to me than what you describe, but yes it can be something related to the webmail.
Here examples of warnings and errors that are constantly spammed to the console:
And there is the smallest message compose window the world has even seen:
Just because "it makes sense", you're required to use an hidden menu to enable formatting tools in every single message you want to type, no global toggle available in settings:
And obviously that Nextcloud wouldn't do it like any sane WYSIWYG since Office was announced in 1988. You to select text to get into the formatting tools, no way to have a permanent toolbar at the top:
And of course, here it is the infamous bullets that never get rendered:
If you send the email they're there, but the editor never shows them.
And that was it, Nextcloud in 2023.
