You pretty much said what I would’ve said, but probably better :)

I have 3 Macs I want to switch to Linux, so I’m approaching this conversion piece by piece, using my thinkpads as placeholders. Figuring out new cloud software can wait until they’re all switched.

A web app for the calendar could be handy… but I could just use another calendar app…

This sounds like a good solution. Can I set it to sync when I’m off my home network?

Ah ok, thanks

I suppose the biggest thing I’m looking for a solution for is photos.

I have my phone to set up to sync to iCloud, which then automatically download to my desktop, which is then automatically backs up via Time Machine.

How could I transition this behaviour to Linux keeping in mind I’ll be using an iPhone for at least another 3 years?

I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

I’m working on transitioning to Linux from Mac pretty casually and I’ll still be using this iPhone til it’s dead. So I’m figuring out solutions to my current computer-usage before I switch my main machine. I’d like to maintain some interoperability between my phone and desktop computer so this has me intrigued.

Is it well-maintained? Trustworthy? Easy to use?

I have an old Thinkpad T420 I’m testing stuff on before I take the plunge but I figured I’d ask before giving it my credentials.

Edit: thanks so much for all the advice. I’m going to try a couple different ways to do it and see what I like :)

Now that’s interesting

I don’t even know what an allophone is

I don’t disagree. I’ve been saying it since like… 2005. Seeing the CBC use it feels weird though. 🤷‍♂️

Doable is a real word now?

I bet Hawkin’s has been hiring since the US boycott started. Everyone I know is basically replacing their chips with Hawkin’s cheezies.

Where do freelancers fit in these stats?

I’m sometimes over-employed and sometimes pretty damn near unemployed. 🤷‍♂️
