  • So what does immutable mean?

    The easiest explanation is: You can't screw it up :)

    That's the reason I use it. It means that the system areas are read-only, and as a user you can't "wreck" anything by mistake.

  • Try Bazzite:

    https://bazzite.gg/

    It will give you an experience that's familiar compared to the Steam Deck, and everything will "just work" out of the box.

    It already has Steam installed and is a great desktop for general use.

  • I like Silverbullet, but I could never get the file tree to work well. Any tips? Or is that not a feature you use?

  • I moved all my cloud computing from DO and Vultr to European owned options. It's a small thing, but it's about the only thing that I had been purchasing from the USA.

  • Sounds like someone who is sensibly voting with their dollar. I'm not from USA or Canada, and I am doing the same.

  • One of the benefits of Obsidian is that it stores its data in a format where you CAN use cli tools and python etc. That's one of the reasons I'm using it myself.

  • It's a different thing. What Obsidian and Logseq offer is plain-text markdown files in folders on your disk. Upnote and most of the other alternatives mentioned in this post store their data in a database.

    Different thing altogether. Just depends what you're looking for.

  • You only have to consider the plugin developers. Most of them would have the technical ability to do what you mention, but they prefer to use Obsidian instead. Clearly there's a reason for that.

  • I assume this means free for local use? Not any kind of backups?

    Why would they donate server space to you on top of giving you free (beer) software?

    That's literally what you said... ?? Or at least that's how it reads to me and the previous commenter.

  • There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform

    And Obsidian is one of those apps 🤦 It's has equal amount of "point" to all the other editors you think are somehow more valid - it's just another editor.

  • Thank you, that's what I had suspected, so I'm glad I wasn't doing anything wrong.

    The way I like to think is through long form writing and personal documentation, so I guess it's not a good match for me.

    In Obsidian I have a script that lets me know any notes that aren't linked to anything else, so it means I have everything interlinked.

  • I think for some brains it just doesn't click. How do you write a long form document? How would you write documentation? How would you write a blog post?

    I tried for a while but I just couldn't understand the concept of "Everything as an outline."

  • It's a very, very different approach having everything as a bullet point though.
