“M$” was funny on slashdot 20 years ago but it’s a bit tired now.

And notepad is a lot better than it used to be.

Also, calling Microsoft as M$ is pretty cringe, like, are they really any more money grabbing than Apple, Amazon or any other big tech?

There’s some instructions here but basically:

  1. sudo apt install zram-config

  2. append to end of /etc/sysctl.conf:

    vm.swappiness = 180
    # disable swap readahead (since using zram swap)
    vm.page-cluster = 0 
    

    Can check these have been applied with cat /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster or .../swappiness

If you run iCloud and syncthing on the same machine you can point syncthing at the icloud folder, and you’ve got a way to sync icloud to Linux.

Also there are plenty of Ubuntu-based distros that look different!
