    FOSSNerds 001 - Linux at 10%, Immich, Jellyfin and office suites

    The very first full episode of FOSSNerds. Charlie, Majid and Bill introduce themselves and how they each came to Linux and open source, then take a question each from the news, argue about open source office suites, and finish with an app each that they think you should try. This one was recorded a little while ago, so some of the news may be slightly behind. In the news: Linux passes 10% of desktops in North America, according to StatCounter. Is it real, why now, and do we even want it to get much bigger? Can Immich, the self-hosted photo and video library, finally replace Google Photos? Setting it up, importing an old library, and why self-hosting your only copy of family photos is a worry. Jellyfin's project leader steps away: burnout, the weight of a big volunteer project, and why open source survives the people who start it. The main topic: with Microsoft Office 2021 coming to the end of its updates, which office suite would you switch to? LibreOffice, SoftMaker's FreeOffice, and a new Apache-licensed suite from the AI company Genspark, plus a detour into AI itself. Recommendations: Majid: Tailscale, for reaching your home server from anywhere. Bill: start self-hosting with something that shows you what is running, such as Proxmox, OpenMediaVault or TrueNAS. Charlie: Fetch Terminal, his own terminal app with one-click snippets. Also mentioned: Immich, Jellyfin, LibreOffice, FreeOffice, ZimaOS, Umbrel and the Arcane Docker manager.
