    It’s not just office, SH and many other parts of the German government have been slowly replacing the entire O365 suite with OpenDesk, which is an open source product based on Matrix, Jitsi, LibreOffice, and a few other tools.

    The goal is to have a fully integrated solution for calender, chat, calls, documents, cloud storage, etc.

    My employer is developing parts of that solution and we recently switched our internal communication over to it, and tbh, it’s working really well.

    Now is the perfect point in time to do it, with the GDPR ruling regarding O365 and Microsoft fumbling the migration between old teams and new teams.


















  • I’m a software dev as well.

    But I often layer multiple windows in the same tile of the screen. e.g. I may have the IDE with the software I’m working on in one tile, the IDE with the library source code I’m working with in the second tile, and a live build of the app in the third tile. But I’ve also got documentation, as a website, in the same tile as the IDE with the lib’s source.

    Now when I switch between the IDE with the lib’s source, and the browser with the lib’s documentation, I only want that tile to change. No problem, with KDEs taskbar and window switcher I can quickly do that.

    But when using the applications menu on Gnome I get a disrupting UI across all screens that immediately rips me out of whatever I was doing.
