I stuck with Ubuntu over a decade, but eventually Arch had several packages I was interested in that Ubuntu did not, plus the Arch wiki. I wanted to use Sway with several rofi/dmenu type utils, and Arch had a lot more of those packaged.

For 60+ I might recommend ChromeOS Flex, Mint, or Ubuntu.

But it’s not self-hosted and I’m not sure it supports offline reading.
ChromeOS Flex can install and run desktop Linux software and has a terminal. What else makes it Linux-like?
ChromeOS Flex is designed as a desktop OS. Android is not.
ChromeOS Flex. Very low maintenance.

For a shared set of hosts at work, you can check a shared SSH include file into got so changes to the cluster can be updated in one place.

The benefit of universal bindings is not have to learn one method for GUI apps, another for terminals and a third for shells implementing the kill-ring like bindings.
markstos@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux3·1 month agoI confirmed that these already supported a number of terminals plus QT and GTK. They could also be mapped to be more ergonomic with a programmable keyboard:
- Control+Insert: Copy
- Shift+Delete: Cut
- Shift+Insert: Paste
markstos@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux2·1 month agoThere are already settings to change some of the colors used.
For the terminal in particular there is an option to hide the menu bar, making it look as Foot or Alacritty do.

markstos@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux71·1 month agoThat’s a popular terminal feature, but I regularly get tripped up because my terminal has that behavior but my browser does not.
That’s what’s nice about a global solution.
markstos@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux4·1 month agoOn old keyboards with those dedicated Copy/Paste keys, they weren’t easy to reach.
Now with programmable keyboards and layers, they can be as convenient as Control C & V.
On the software side, there were many years where they weren’t well-supported, but that’s changing now.
markstos@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux162·1 month agoOn Windows, Control-C in a terminal also cancels instead of copies. That’s why people don’t take Windows seriously.
markstos@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux91·1 month agoThe first time you accidentally type Control-C into a terminal and cancel an important process when you meant to copy some text it becomes a PITA.
markstos@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux14·1 month agoControl+C is used to kill a process in the terminal and that shouldn’t be overwritten.
Agreed. The post didn’t suggest that.
Seems unnecessarily complex when Control+Shift+C works just fine.
For people already using programmable keyboards global copy/paste shortcuts are a nice perk.
I spend nearly all my day in a browser or a terminal and as I use a terminal and browser that already support this, the effect is 99% complete.
Simple means different things to different people.
I self-host Ghost and find it pleasant to use and low maintenance. It is a single Docker container plus MySQL. I recommend a reverse proxy in front of it like Nginx. There are importers from many other blog formats.
