  • Generally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.

    However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware “difficulties” with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won’t encounter driver issues.

    (Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the “Firsttime Linux Experience” if you do encounter them…)

    • Radicale hosts my calendars and contacts
    • zero-hassle setup in Thunderbird for both of those things
    • DAVx on Android works seamlessly for calendar and contacts Sync
    • Fossify calendar to view, edit calendar
    • default contact app for contacts
    • Infcloud as a web frontend for Radicale. Not pretty, but absolutely functional (and I hardly ever need it thanks to Android calendar app / Thunderbird)

    Haven’t tried todo lists yet, but I would imagine they are similarly hassle-free.

    The only annoyance I have is that DAVx is required at all, but I’d suspect that’s an Android/Google issue? IDK.

    But anyways, this setup works flawlessly for me.
