The project has nothing directly to do with Linux. But I think it's interesting and you should be able to use the mouse under Linux. In my opinion, it is therefore an alternative to normal mice.

Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records additional context for your commands. Additionally, it provides optional and fully encrypted synchronisation of your history between machines, via an Atuin server.

You can follow the submissions via an RSS feed.

For example, if you use the link Https://lemm.ee/feeds/u/Corr.xml?sort=New, all your previous posts will be displayed.

Instead of lemm.ee you need to specify the instance where the user in question is registered. And instead of Corr you have to enter the username. For example https://discuss.tchncs.de/feeds/u/fryboyter.xml?sort=New. That would be in this case my contributions.

Mainstream? Not a chance. Many people know Twitter and Facebook, but they don't know what Lemmy or Reddit is, for example, and therefore don't use it.

And it usually doesn't matter if solution A is better than solution B. What becomes mainstream and what doesn't usually depends on other things.

But one thing we don’t have is a true FOSS web, a protocol like HTTP that only allows FOSS websites to be hosted and bars any corporate interest from hosting for profit.

Would something like that be possible?

Possible? Maybe. Meaningful? Not in my opinion.

One principle of free software is that everyone can use it. Also for commercial things. Or for example to control missiles that kill people.

In addition, many companies contribute to the development. Without them, Linux, for example, would not be as developed as it currently is. Whether you like it or not, we need companies. Excluding them would therefore be a mistake.

FOSS is all about giving some things for free, and thats it.

I would disagree with that. Free as in freedom, not as in free beer. The GPL as an example even encourages to charge as much as you want or can for the software.

I now only play the games on Windows which definitely don't run on Linux. In my case, these are only very few (time reasons and I am only interested in a few new games at all) and usually the copy protection or the cheat protection is the reason why.

There is no such thing as the objectively best solution. Each tool has advantages and disadvantages. And every user has different preferences and requirements.

Personally, I am using Borg for years. And I have had to restore data several times, which has worked every time.

In addition to Borg, you can also look at Borgmatic. This wrapper extends the functionality and makes some things easier.

And if you want to use a graphical user interface, you can have a look at Vorta or Pika.
