Here I am in 2025 still budgeting with Gnumeric. I might be the only person on the planet who still uses Abiword and Gnumeric for everything. Since at least high school. It's been at least 25 years. #gnumeric #abiword #linux #gnome #gnu

@MediaActivist Better than the stock OS on the Fairphone 4 (which was rarely updated). It is a rolling release and updates automatically. The only issue was that Google Photos did not recognize my Google subscription, so I couldn't use some of their premium editing features. But other Google things worked, like Youtube Music, and the Google drive with my 2TB of storage. Everything else was fine to include banking. I ran it for about eighteen months before having the phone stolen in Paris.

@rms try Session messenger. This is an independently maintained derivative of Signal from a fork back in 2019. No Google Play services necessary, no phone number required.

In case you missed it, Window Maker Live was updated last week and is based on Debian bookworm. It integrates with the GNUStep desktop environment. Here it is running on my almost 20 year old ThinkPad T43p (released April 2005) this afternoon. There is an amd64 and an i686 version available. The developer has tested it on a T23 with 1GB of RAM.
