That these DEs are a bloat in modern Linux computers?
GTK is fine by me. Qt on the other hand, is BIG. And now with Qt6 out, and some older apps aren’t migrated to it yet, I have both Qt5 AND Qt6 installed on my computer. It’s a shitshow.
Thanks for clarafying. That sounds like a genuine reason to use a synchronizing program like Nextcloud, to share files between devices frequently.
I don’t know much about syncthing but I hear a lot of people talking about it. Perhaps someone else can shed some light to it. But as I experienced Nextcloud about a decade, I consider it belongs to a hard-to-setup, high-maintenance tier. I’ve had my moments when I failed to upgrade and resorted to nuke it and set it up anew.
I shall also share that I’m currently running a dead “distro”, TrueNAS CORE (based on FreeBSD), which abandoned by the company. As a result, my Nextcloud is stuck at version 28 and I don’t have the energy to do a manual upgrade.
If you have made up your mind to set up your own Nextcloud instance, my recommendation is to buy a genuine industrial grade motherboard, put some ECC RAM in it, and use an OS that’s meant for servers (no Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora shit). You shall also setup RAID or use ZFS to mirror your hard disks to prevent bitrot. And I definitely do not recommend you save your valueable data on some random general purpose hard disks or even “like new” secondhand ones. There are hard disks meant for NAS out there.
Or, you know, Nextcloud Inc. sells prebuilt Nextcloud hardwares.

In which way do you plan to transfer your photos to the backup storage? In the picture I can see a camera and I assume it uses an SD card. I would, if I were you:
rsyncSome storage tower even comes with an Ethernet port and a web interface. It’s practically a personal “cloud”.
Nextcloud is resource heavy, slow, hard to setup, and hard to backup/restore. This is from someone who has been using it from when it was Owncloud.
It’s a piece of software which runs on your computer.
If you find a so-called “web app” which runs in your browser, two things may be happening: 1) Someone took the effort to port an open source app (like InkScape) to run in a browser 2) You are using someone’s hosted service and they steal your information as the fee.
There’s also the option of taking your file to one of your local print shop, where they make it into a poster and charge you some fee.
You either pay money or effort.
Have you ever played arcade? Do you sometimes wonder which part of your body controls the movement?
If it helps, you can emerge them overnight.
Let me guess… apps which are written with Qt Python bindings?
