The ability to easily do synchronization through a Nextcloud instance (or commercial cloud storage providers like OneDrive) is what's keeping me on Joplin.

Weren't the devs also supposed to be adding the ability to rebind the overview to just the super key (like GNOME)? Is that still in the works?

Yes, I don't know all of the details, but most of the system config files like fstab and such are modifiable. I automount my NAS by putting a command in fstab.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but their FAQ specifically says:

By default, your documents are stored inside the docker volume paperless_media. Docker manages this volume automatically for you.

It also says that documents are removed from the consumption directory, renamed, and put into a folder that you shouldn't modify.

And that's my problem with the project. I want to be able to keep my file name and organizational structure.

The project linked is a fork of the version on F-Driod. You can download the APK directly from the Github and use it just fine.

Does WhatsApp not work at all on Graphene OS or do you just need to enable Google Play services for it to work? (I do understand why you personally may not want to enable the Play services, but I'm just curious about the potential capabilities).

Amaze File Manager can do this.

It's hard to explain until you've used it, but in my experience I think this is much different than a traditional Linux distro. Every other distro I've tried has (to some extent) dependencies that can get out of whack, configuration drift that makes it hard to get things to work sometimes, random codecs or drivers or other things you need to install to get a system working as it should, etc. In the "cloud native" model, all the packages, drivers, etc. are built and tested in the cloud. So when they arrive on your machine, they "just work" and updates are handled automatically - it's great. Maybe not great for tinkerers, but great for regular users who just want to use their computer.

They need to work on their branding. "Cloud Native" triggers images of subscription services and data mining. But the idea here is that the whole OS and its components are all sort of containerized, so you can just pull pre-configured "cloud" images that are guaranteed to work out of the box to your machine.

I think Ublue is only set to automatically check for updates once per day. If there were only a few updates available, it's possible your system just didn't check yet that day.

See if your /etc/rpm-ostreed.conf has automatic updates set to "stage." I think that should be the default.

See update section in this FAQ, which tells you what config disables automatic updates.

Money market is the way to go. You are exposed directly to the federal bonds, which are basically what most banks use to back their high interest accounts, so you will get the the highest rate possible with no middle man. Money market funds are not FDIC insured, but the Vanguard fund (VMFXX) has never "broken the buck" or lost value since its inception in 1981.

It will probably get made eventually, but they have said there is no ETA for now. In the meantime, you can upvote the suggestion on their feedback forums.
