  • Now that I think about it, using a website that could gain access to your playlist and move around the different songs to new playlists (based on genre/mood/etc) would be a godsend...

  • Like most people say here, if that's something you want to do that's all good so long as you're protected by law and workers' rights and all that jazz. Personally, though, I don't really understand it. I mean, why would anybody want to do this with all the risks (rape, diseases)? I'm open to receiving perspectives and education, currently I just don't really "get" it.

  • Thank you for the answers! As for the hard disk, do you mean something like a USB or SSD? In that case, how do I sync the music from there to my phone?

  • Not my son!

  • Super! I won't have any issue submitting assignments then. Only trouble of course would be live collaboration, but I can always use MOffice web-version for that.

  • Forgive the stupid question but I just want to be sure. If I write a document in LibreOffice and use a bunch of fonts and fancy stuff, then send it as a PDF to a MOffice user, they will be able to see all the fonts and such?

  • Oh yeah, I didn't think of the lockdown browser. I'm in Sweden, so I should only hope our education has come so far that I'll be able to borrow a spare Windows computer.

  • Thank you for writing this!

    Your laptop will probably come with Windows pre-installed, so you could just nuke it, install Linux, install VirtualBox, and then install Windows as a VM using the license that came with your laptop.

    Would you suggest I buy a computer with Windows pre-installed, or a DIY-edition computer (like Framework) with no OS pre-installed?

  • I've actually not researched that much about OnlyOffice but I'll definitely be sure to do that.

  • Honestly I did look into dual booting some time ago, but I don't think (and this is just a guess) that I'll be that dependent on Windows for my studies, and it feels a bit icky to have a secondary OS that I'll barely use (just like me having Play Store on my GOS phone). :')

  • Thank you so much for writing this elaborate comment! Super appreciate it. :)

  • From what I have heard, the most beginner-friendly distros are Fedora, Mint, and Pop!OS, but I'll be looking at and comparing Debian as well.

  • College / university, the thing right after highschool.

  • I think many technical educations are dependent on Windows to some extent, but I'm not sure how it is with humaniora / social studies-focused education programs.

  • You're right. I actually bought my current Pixel phone secondhand, so I'll check out the market for computers. Do you know of any red flags to watch out for in secondhand computer ads?

  • I have, unfortunately they're too expensive for me.

  • at least make a somewhat believable imitation

  • I'm glad there are other GOS users out there with only one profile and Play services. I tried out multiple profiles, and even though there might be benefits to it, it was just too inconvenient and inefficient for me. Hopefully Google doesn't steal all my device contents though lolz

  • Oh its Morgan. Long time I seen her posts. Man she's so beautiful
