I tried this 15ish year ago with my parents, and the results were mixed. Windows wasn’t as egregious back then, with its spying and pre-installed garbage, but it did have a tendency to accumulate bloat over time. So my parents’ computer would get unusably slow after a couple years. I installed Ubuntu on their system and it solved the bloat problem. It lasted for years without slowing down. The issues they ran into were compatibility. They’d buy a new camera and the connection wouldn’t work. Or their friend would send them an attachment and there’d be no default viewer for the filetype. I suspect those issues have been mostly solved, but they’ve moved back to Windows and are running into the same bloat problems. Now they’re thinking of moving to apple.

2·1 month agoI think it might just be that their documentation is dispersed, and sometimes hard to find. I haven’t used the CI, so I can’t comment on how well it works, but it appears to be in use: https://blog.liw.fi/posts/2026/radicle-status-quo-07/
Here’s some docs on it: https://radicle-ci-broker.liw.fi/userguide.html https://radicle.network/nodes/radicle.liw.fi/rad%3AzwTxygwuz5LDGBq255RA2CbNGrz8
Radicle is awesome, but having to create a new account for each device is a pain, especially if you want them all to have access to the same private repo.
I hadn’t heard of these, thanks for sharing!
I think the radicle-explorer project handles the web interface. I have no idea whether it does pdf preview. It does seem to manage markdown tho.
Sorry I can’t be more help, I’m really new to it myself too. I just wanted to mention it because I think it’s a cool project.
I think radicle needs to get more love.
It’s probably not the best way to showcase your skills to a recruiter, but the tech itself is really interesting.
Or i3/sway for that matter.
