Syncthing is the only app i need for syncing files to home computer. No clouds, just your phone and computer (or computers).

I used Simple apps in the past but lost track of them. Now i know why. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Indeed we need diversity of the ecosystems.

Windows GUI for Syncthing named SyncTrayzor is also actively developed. https://github.com/GermanCoding/SyncTrayzor After SyncTtrayzor stopped being developed in 2021, it just worked along the updating SyncThing as backend. Now that Syncthing v2 came out, old one is not compatible anymore, but new one picked up the mantle.

I love this software. I am using it to sync files across different computers and different people for years now.

Sophia script[0] is amazing for debloating windows.

You need to take a bit of time to configure what you want it to do, then run it on every computer you configure.

Love this litle app. Author did this once before. I hope he changes his mind.

I would hate to need to look for a replacement.

I tried a few solutions a few years ago to see if there are any alternatives to MS RDP, but at that time i found them all to be lacking. Mostly remote screen was not as responsive as RDP.

A simple test was to play Youtube video on remote machine and compare results of all Linux solutions with MS RDP. None came close.

I hope things changed in past few years if anyone knows?

Indeed. Markdown files seperated into folders. I organize them into topics. Easy to search with a lot of possible customizations. And even setup without customizations is optically pleasing and functional
