I can suggest LogSeq as a nice alternative for Obsidian. Notes are all in Markdown too!

Some of your data flows through Syncthing servers (but I agree that's a great product, I use it myself) LibreOffice works for entry-level users, but it does not have the same functionality as MSOffice. And the UI sucks as much as MSOffice.

You can buy office separately these days again. Not sure if Libreoffice is feature complete these days, but last time I tried it, it was missing a lot of the more advanced featureslike Solver/Powerquery/certain advanced formulas.

I recommend it for everybody and if it is not for you, you wil realise it in a couple of minutes of working with it if you are a oower user

Syncthing is awesome for home devices backups like phone pictures and videos and computer documents that can be version controlled. I also use Local Send app to share files between phones and computers in the house.

Nice I'll definately check those out. For office I use OnlyOffice

I use near the same stuff. But I don't like these all-in-one centers like umbrel and Casa. I simply use dockge.

And happy cake day.
