@JenJen nah, Yesterday I decided I want to actually start using linux.
Learned that "rename" command exist, just by typing "rename -h" having no idea if it will work, next renamed bunch or folders for my liking using one command instead of clicking and typing multiple times.
I look forward to more experimentation, but it's also okay not to do all those "boring" stuff!
Linux is really easy to use, no need to panic! Just enjoy and be not afraid to ask for help!

(protip: you can instead usemv oldname [PATH/]newnameinstead :) ) -
@JenJen I'll proof you the terminal can be fun!
Paste this in the terminal (Ctrl+Shift+V):cat /dev/urandom | hexdump -C | grep "ca fe"
It's safe and you'll feel like a real hacker, reading the Matrix, especially if you keep the terminal open on the side of your monitor
(You can stop the rain of code with Ctrl+C anytime).
Enjoy!@davidrevoy
I can translate this command in human if you want @JenJen .(Also you can install cmatrix which just displays a matrix code rain.)

Okay so the one thing I do need my laptop for is my research - and I use proton drive. I can use the browser to access, but it would be nice if they had an app for linux
IT BEGINS.
I won't do the food analogy I did on stream again, but I'm used to not being catered to, as a vegan, so this feels right at home

@JenJen there is a reasonable looking 'unofficial' client for Proton Drive. Never tried it myself so can't say if it's any use, or not. It does unfortunately require you to get your hands dirty in your terminal...
*EDIT* Scratch that, they provide an installer that would work under Mint.

@JenJen Maybe this can help you out?

@JenJen This is why I decided against Proton when choosing a cloud provider for my partner. They're working on a Linux App, but it's not their priority. Filen is a great zero-knowledge cloud provider with a linux client. Not having a linux client as a privacy-first company is unacceptable anyway. Or you can build your own NAS, since you're a hardened linux expert now!

@marco @JenJen Oh, my bad. Then you can try this app:

@Zekovski but then you can pipe @davidrevoy's code to toilet --gay, can you do that with cmatrix' output? 8-D

http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/toilet Thank you @oblomov , I had no idea this level of awesomeness existed.

@davidrevoy @Zekovski @JenJen I can't take all the credit, the toilet --gay thing was first recommended by others (which I now can't find because of the Quoting that breaks the thread)

@bootie_fringe @JenJen I'll be around to provide ongoing support. I wouldn't just install Linux on Jen's laptop and leave her completely to it
(and tbh I just woke up, saw that Jen posted about her first experiences on Masto and got a shock at the state of my mentions and then realised that I should have saw this coming)

@JenJen have you tried celeste? it's an unofficial open source client that supports a bunch of cloud providers, including Proton Drive.
