Since you want a just works deal, I'd go with a ublue based immutable distro, my favorite is Bazzite. You can pick between KDE and Gnome, and change between them cleanly at any point. User apps auto update in the background, your system also updates while it's running and you only need to reboot to apply. If anything ever goes wrong, you have painless rollbacks. All that with up-to-date fedora packages and kernel.

I've been running it on my deck for a while now and it's never let me down so far, really pleasant experience. It generally keeps out of your way and takes care of the chores while still allowing you to mess around if you want.

Others have brought up open source solutions already so on a different note I'll say I've used the (closed source and paid) Insync client successfully in the past, and it worked fine. An interesting bonus is you can have it on both Windows and Linux pointing to the same set of files if you dual boot and it's supposed to work just fine.

Not OP but that's good to know, thanks for the heads-up!

Haha you're good, thanks for the heads-up! I just assumed I'd missed some sort of controversy lol

Also worth noting they're one of the very few cloud providers I'm aware of with regional pricing, the annual family plan's bang for your buck is simply unbeatable where I live. Not an apples to apples comparison but to put it into perspective, my 1TB Hetzner storage box runs me about the same as my 365 family plan, except the latter has 6 times the raw storage among all people.

Why ick? Guess I'm out of the loop on that one

I can see why it'd be divisive with topre keys, no key markings and a pretty non standard layout but man does it look nice. Really appreciate what they're going for there.

Anyway, thanks and hope you find a solution, I'll drop by if I come across anything useful!

Right, that all makes sense. I'll definitely keep that .XCompose file in mind, wasn't aware it even was a thing before your post. Also, do you mind sharing the specific keyboard you're using for reference?

Side note, I've started using vim/helix a few months ago and the pt layout makes things a lot more awkward than I expected, that's half the reason I'm considering a US keyboard lol

Ah, I'd missed the namespace somehow. Fair enough!

My situation is remarkably similar to yours down to the language, and I happen to have been considering a US keyboard as well so that's disheartening to hear. I have nothing to add right now but will let you know if I come across anything helpful!

Pretty sure they meant you probably should've suggested a backup or given a heads-up of some sort before running the command you brought up, since one would presumably lose all settings previously stored in dconf and that's quite the extreme measure

To a 10yo game, no less lol
