Thanks will check that out 👍

I've gone from the beta that I've been using since it came out, now to the beta QPR1 Beta 2

Haven't even seen the stable version. Probably should have opted out somewhere 🤣

I'm running a Debian Bookworm on a Zotac Tiny PC, plus Docker and Mosquitto with HomeAssitant supervisor installed and a Sonoff usb dongle P. No ZigBee2MQTT. To begin with the Dongle was recognised by HA, natively running ZHA, all worked okay. Then I added ZigBee2MQTT as a add-on in HA, linked it to my Mosquitto account, added MQTT as an add-on as you need it as well. The difference is enormous, as I now have a ZigBee Dashboard, many more options were seen by the ZigBee2MQTT on the devices that I had installed that weren't seen by the ZHA, I was even able to update certain firmware on my switches.

It sounds like the best option would be a dual boot, Linux for everything except games and when you want to play just boot into Windows. If you do this i would strongly suggest a two HD set up, one for windows and one for Linux, for two reasons, if you don't like Linux then you still have the original windows setup, two Windows will at one moment wipe the dual boot grub and you'll 'lose' the Linux startup, unless you have one OS per Hard Disk. I don't game anymore. Like you I also have an old card Gtx760 🤣🤣

I've used Joplin for years now before was Evernote. I like it because it's open source and the syncing option is built in, exemple either to Dropbox or NextCloud (I use both these options, DB only because I have a free option of 12gB otherwise I would use just NC) The syncing is painless as as I said built-in. It's not a pretty app, fairly plain, but it works perfectly, on my android and Linix PCs, Arch and Debian. I did try Obsidian once. It's pretty, but not being open source put me of. Try it again, takes minutes to set up, as again open source and works well

I don't use Trillium, tried once Obsidian but it's not free. Have you tried Joplin, it's free works extremely well with Dropbox or NextCloud for syncing between téléphone and the PC. For note taking its extremely good

It's just that Diaro and others diary apps are setup so that you see the date, title, tags, just like a paper version, again, something that you can't easily do in Joplin

Diaro sends me a notification and the end of the Day, reminding me to write something.

I keep a diary using Diaro on my android phone. I started a long time ago in note books, but as even I can't alway read my own writing, switched to typing. I don't write much, mostly rubbish, what I do find useful is the ability to search and find things, 'repaired the fridge' 'changed the battery in the smoke alarm', 'had so and so around for dinner' , 'bought this and that' .... It's only for myself, do when I'm dead and gone it will just disappear like myself

Yes i know, i tried it about two times, but found it extremely poor, was easier to install it by 'hand'

Garmin Epix Pro gen 2, by far the best, as like the 7x but with an OLED screen. A real fitness watch, rather than a apple smart watch

They often do some promotions, got mine at about half price
