  • Yeah its 100% nicer when you can work on one monitor and have info on the other instead of flipping back and forth on the primary. But there’s a certain appeal to having just a huge single monitor… Think it would free up some table space and could keep my gaze more centered. I use ubuntu + i3 for both work and play so I’m wondering if a huge monitor could provide enough visual real estate to keep the convenience of two monitors. If I was using Windows or Mac I’d probably be more inclined to stick to dual monitor

    For a Google drive alternative I’ve heard of nextcloud but haven’t looked into it. For staying in touch with news articles, etc you could look into RSS readers and subscribe to RSS feeds from publications online. For a Google alternative, duckduckgo can handle your search needs. I opted to sail the high seas rather than subscribe to multiple streaming services, but I haven’t found a YouTube replacement

    I know you mentioned you weren’t super tech savvy, but check out some of the stuff on the https://awesome-selfhosted.net/ list. Not everything there actually needs to be self hosted or set up in any complex way.
