I was thinking Nextcloud on Ubuntu and SSD came to mind as power saving. nvme or external in £100 region would be fine I think. I need to find a suitable x86-64 mini PC probably on amazon. I will...

Brilliant man! Just the sort of information I look for :)

In view of your input I should state the use the 'NAS' will be put to. It is very minor.

I and my wife have three mobile phones,...

I have been using a Pi 4 with a couple of 1TB HDs and need more power.

Can anyone suggest where to start looking as I have no knowledge of NAS. Perhaps a couple of recommended NAS which I can...

Thanks for bearing with me.

You earlier suggested installing ubuntu on a Pi but I am wondering why. Is the Pi software not capable?

Looked at the two links above but sovereign seems ott for my simple purpose and the other has so much to choose from I am lost.

I think I will need to search for a simple guide for my simple...

A quick question: What is the difference between 1. a 'cloud' and 2. a server?

As far as I can see a cloud is multiple servers hosted on some 'computer system' somewhere. A server is what is says,...

Yes, of course! ethernet is the answer for a server. I have two 1TB ssd drives attached to the pi 4. Not sure if 4 or 8GB version and not used at the moment

Linux containers? I've not come...

Thank you both for your input. For the immediate future I will transfer the files as and when, using a usb stick from phone to pc. I have a number of pi's including a pi4 which I ran 24/7 for...

You are most certainly wrong with your statement, "I suspect you won't bother with anything I've written, but at least you know it is possible." You have advised me in the past and I value your input...

I have used Linux for many years but have always had a problem with Bluetooth and it is driving me mad. Sometime it works seamlessly, sometimes it does not work and I...

I found this (well actually my son did):

Thank you, I will experiment.

Yes I did but reading TheFu's input I think I will stick to using the keyboard. I note that it is Linux compatible though.

I have two laptops each with fingerprint sign-on but I have never used...

I have just received this keyboard and as usual, drivers for Linux are not available from the makers.

I have found this:

I nearly missed your reply :(

You say, "It should go without saying, but unlocking phones using just a fingerprint isn't secure either." but banks allow that method. The alternative is to use a...

Is there such a USB reader for a desktop Ubuntu pc nowadays?

I note that laptops with built-in readers seem to be sorted now.

I am using Ubuntu 23.04 on a desktop pc with the xfce4-indicator-plugin for default Bluetooth.

Having paired the pc and my Samsung A54 mobile Bluetooth I send files from to pc to the mobile phone....

Fixed.

Incomplete dpkg install.

Unplugged second monitor and opened synaptic. Synaptic showed the error and gave the command needed to fix the installation.

I installed the latest Ubuntu update to my Ubuntu 23.04 today and now the default screen is blank. At first both screens were blank even though the computer was running. I rebooted the machine and...

Yes Thunar is fine, just a pity it does not have more options. I have reverted to Thunar. Thanks for the interesting info.
