I have been using Jellyfin for video. It runs great so far.

Yeah, installing from retroarch.com is fine.

There seems to be a thread open about this here:

I’m not sure what’s going on with your device. That’s where I installed it from.

Do you have gapps side loaded on a custom ROM? You might need to update your image or gapps.

I’m slowly collecting the things I will need to build a home NAS. That sounds interesting, and I’ll be glad to check it out.

Retroarch is fantastic and allows for many numerous emulators. It is FOSS.

I synch my roms and saves using Google Drive and DriveSynch; free, but not necessarily a FOSS process.

I used this method. My dog used to get so rough that I was concerned that he was going to hurt someone.

Adding to it, when play stopped, I turned away and ‘sulked’ because body language means so much. Also, I added in a toy for tug of war, and whenever the play escaped the toy I said ow and play was done.

This took a few months to really sink in for the dog, but we got to the point where he would play, we would say to get a toy, and there was no more leaping for limbs.

Some long time later, we were to the point where I could hold his teeth for gentle tug of war, but he decided he didn’t like my skin in his mouth.

I use Google keep personally and one note professionally.

I left Evernote about 2 years ago. It was clear at the time that free users were only in the way. I can’t imagine it being any easier to use.

Ironically, I do not.

I remember these being suggested to me as a newbie a long time ago.

Please continue to learn! It’s great to bring new perspectives to play.

I kind of answered this elsewhere in the thread, but here is my answer to you.

If you are referring to basic OS level functions, they are super similar, but they are also wildly different.

Ubuntu is based on Debian. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen. It uses a Canonical kernel.

Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input. It uses a heavily customized AOSP kernel.

While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, they have wildly different kernels.

Here is a pretty lengthy write up on the subject by Richard Stallman.

Oh, I forgot about Chromebooks and ChromeOS. They are similar, but there are significant differences.

ChromeOS is based on Gentoo. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen.

Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input.

While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, we are comparing a different Linux flavor against Android.

Also, my answer is probably generic enough to answer OP.

Are you in a local user group, like a Linux club?

Are you talking about mobile OS? I can’t imagine using Android as a desktop.

The biggest differences are the available packages and the that Android is typically heavily locked down to prevent user access.

Plus side is actual strong techniques.

Downside is irresponsible teachers, dangerous teaching practices and literal body dismorphia.

Duh, you should make it say things like an Osakan should.

Thanks. It’s good to hear someone outline what I was thinking. I’m frustrated that the support response made it sound like we shouldn’t be using the software, but I guess I’ll get over it.

I suspect most of it leans heavily on ghostscript, so they are required to provide AGPL. They would like to obtain support contracts, so support requests are considered out of compliance unless they are paid. I find it interesting that they basically have AGPL+ were plus is whatever they have on their license page in addition to AGPL.

That’s how I feel. I’m not a legal expert either. The caveat to this is that there is a disclaimer on the legal page where you are directed to the AGPL that says that you may not, “Use PDFCreator within an application or service that is not licensed under the terms of the AGPL.”

I’m assuming using the software in a Windows environment is allowed as it is distributed as a Windows application. If you are using the software to accept print jobs to PDF in a manner configurable through the default UI without modifying the code or default files, I’m also hard pressed to call it a violation, regardless of the input application.

I think that the concern from PDFForge is that we were asking for assistance with a feature, which crosses the line in any sort of professional setting.

This is how I expected FOSS to function. If you get a chance, check out their license page, which directs prospective users to the AGPL and also has further restrictions on what users may not do.
