I started switching over to plaintext files with Markdown a few years ago. It’s been great for interoperability. I don’t need to use a heavy program on my desktop or phone. I can view, edit, whatever I need as long as I have terminal access.

Mine is running on a HP 600 G1 Micro Computer Mini Tower PC. Right now, less than $80 from Bezos. It’s over powered for Nextcloud alone, but I’ve also got other services running on it, including Jellyfin.

It zips along quite nicely, but I’ve also followed the guides for tuning the server for best performance.

Back in 2020, those of us who had been using the community document server were greeted with a notification stating that mobile editing was no longer supported and that we’d have to buy their commercial product.

Some folks quickly figured out a patch. Others, like myself, left with a bad taste in our mouths.

In the end, I can only speak for myself, but I chose LibreOffice and The Document Foundation for philosophical reasons.
