According to my dad looking over my shoulder it’s name is Marsha

Thanks for the suggestions. I was going to use libreoffice as the main editor but then use open office if my document had images or anything that doesn't play nice with libreoffice but the pdf suggestion sounds better

Oh this is helpful

Yeah another person said it gets funky with formatting but that’s not a huge deal for me as the most complex formats for the class syllabus I like to just have a copy but probably nothing I can’t do by saving it as a pdf

And like I said in those comments my own documents aren’t complex mostly just using tab and enter to make my documents more readable for myself

Like I said I have all these files on proton drive

Assuming I stick with word and don’t move to libreoffice like a few comments have suggested- in a desktop environment is really the only difference that it’s now going to open in a web browser, I’m just asking incase it doesn’t play nice with proton drive

Yeah another commentor suggested it but said it gets funky with formatting but I’m definitely gonna check it out

Also is this it. Just wanna make sure before I download the first libreoffice I see lol

I was gonna check out obsidian since that seems to be popular and open source isn’t a necessity for me but thanks for the option

And for xournal yeah the cross note is something I would definitely rather have but thank :)

That sounds good to hear then

You have a link for downloads

Also someone else said it has auto saves which messes up stuff in proton drive

Thanks. I’m assuming there’s just like an extension page for excalidraw in obsidian like there would be a web browser

Yeah that’s why I’m using proton and slowly switching accounts. Proton drive is pretty much OneDrive minus auto save (oh no however shall I manage) so that’s not too big of a leap

The email and calander haven’t seen much use and with transferring accounts to be with my proton email will be slow

Once that’s done and I’m all settled with proton or if I find another solution I’m going to take a look back here and see what a next step could be for me

Well thank so much for everyone who chimed in I appreciate it a ton. For now I’m going to to test the waters with proton family like the drive and calander and mail and see how I like that and if it’s a viable alternative for OneDrive and outlook for my case. I think it’ll work but I’m still very open to suggestions

I have no idea how to code anymore and I tried with just gpt advice I wonder what unholy abomination I could create

I get where your coming from 100% but to me it’s the same thing how theory in science and theory in speech have pretty big differences

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

Man I like totk but jeebus creebus

Imagine walking in the desert and randomly hearing a banger from an acoustic guitar

Someone else said what I was thinking. If it was a corporation like Home Depot or something maybe MAYBE, but a company with a proven track record like meta….. yeeeeeeeeaaaah no

What’s the saying? Everyone’s the hero of their own story

Ok cool and thanks for being super helpful :)

I’m assuming you admin people are a good place to ask for any help in the future

Thanks for the reply but a few silly questions

So point 1 for servers their rules are sort of ground rules how does that differ from communities. Like I’m on the lemm.ee server and I think gaming is on a kbin server so it follows the kbin rules. But for posts on lemm.ee the server rules are the ground rules. Like Reddit has its redetiquette rules and then each subreddit also has its own rules; is that kinda similar

For point 2 I saw an admin post saying they plan to stay open long term so ig that’s a good sign but are there any other indicators. If lemm.ee is a bad home server ig now it doesn’t matter since my account is new but later down the line is there a way to migrate to another server. On that note besides being shut down what is a good indicator that a server is bad

For point 3 does defederated essentially mean blocked. Like an admin of lemm.ee basically says I don’t want you seeing stuff on lemmy.world

My own stupid question but servers host communities and each kinda looping back to point 1 each server has its own ground rules then each community has its own additional rules similar to subreddits

So I’m new to this whole decentralization thing. I’m using the Memmy app on my phone thru apples test flight. An example they used was lemm.ee is like our local post office, we send letters to our neighbor down the street but can also receive a funny letter from far away places like lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. Is that a good example?

Like lemm.ee is totally self sufficient from lemmy.world but I can still see their content

And one quick question. What makes a good server, because I just chose this one because it was at the top of a list when I made my account and I have no clue what I’m doing
