Latvia is partly involved, yes, but it’s also part Russian and recently moved to Singapore. You may find the history section on Wikipedia interesting; it also lists the russian part-ownership as reason for many users leaving OnlyOffice (and I’ve seen quite a few posts on that at the time).

As for the open-source part, I stand corrected, thank you

From what I can tell, OnlyOffice has the best compatibility and the nicest UI (similar to MS office), same as with the regular applications. NextCloud Office is based on LibreOffice (officially Collabora, which is their name for the web product), so again same as the regular applications you’ll have some compatibility issues. That said, if you don’t need compatibility with existing documents or only documents made with LibreOffice, either is fine.

One concern many have is that OnlyOffice is closed source (edit: my bad, it’s been open-source for a long time) and russian based (edit: partially russian, see Wikipedia), while LibreOffice is open source.

If you need finer control than recursive chmod (see other replies), you can also use find to match precisely which files/folders you want and use the -exec parameter to run chmod on those

The main reason for Ubuntu against Debian is the packages. For Ubuntu, they’re much newer, and with PPAs (launchpad.net), you can often get more and/or newer packages built by other users. For debian, good luck, you’re stuck with old packages (which is the intent of Debian stable, but not nice as a user, that’s for server)

This would likely only hurt the end user. Many use chromium-based browsers, so you’re just driving those away.

You can detect Firefox, so you can do a superficial block in JS, but lemmy is such a simple site that you’d find it hard to find areas where there’s actual differences between the browsers, those usually only come from complex pages like video calling

I use it for everything, because I connected my external monitors through the eGPU. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME has a few methods for running only selected applications via the eGPU, but I haven’t tried them. Edit: See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/External_GPU#Xorg for eGPU specific setups.

Can confirm, I’m using a dock (from Razor) daily without problems. Hot switching doesn’t work though, you need to restart X/your display manager to connect or disconnect the eGPU. I’d recommend the gswitch utility to configure the graphics card to be used (on X11). Haven’t tested much on Wayland, but I know that at least Gnome (Wayland only) has trouble mixing eGPU and the internal display if that is important.
