can anyone comment on how the files are actually stored? is everything imported into a database or can it just work with any sort of folder structure you have already?

very underrated piece of software! its been a total game changer in how i have my computers set up.

also great for some apps too. things like keepass or newsboat (terminal RSS reader) or anything that stores its data in a single file or folder. its really great not having to rely on a connection to a server

KDE Connect. its an app that lets you share lots of different things between your devices, and it does this over your home network without needing any “cloud”

• send files from one device to another
• share the clipboard. handy for copying text or a link to your phone
• get notifications from your phone on your laptop
• have music playing on your laptop and pause or change the track from your phone
• control your laptop from your phone, move the cursor around, left/right click etc

just in case you dont know, Distrosea lets you try various distros online which is handy just for getting a quick idea what the UI is like

for trying out different distros using the live USB method, Ventoy is a good option since it lets you have multiple ISO files on your USB drive at once, instead of having to reformat your USB each time
