Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    The ridiculousness of hauling a RPi around everywhere I go so I can access files on a flash drive is exactly the point. LOL

    Although, something like the NitroKey Storage is close to the same thing. It’s a small computer with flash storage. Packaging, I guess. LOL

    Veracrypt would be one more thing to bootstrap when standing up a new computer, and I’d like to keep the amount of prep work I have to do to a new box before it’s usable to a minimum.

    Endlessly tweaking systems to get it into a usable state is why I left Windows, and like to keep the complexity in my life to a minimum.

    Honestly, it’s only annoying when moving between FOSS operating systems. MacOS not supporting luks, or whatever, is slightly annoying, but FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Linux not agreeing to make me shake my head.
