Working with Linux in a Microsoft/Google-dominated environment

Syncthing

To sorta replace OneDrive, I've used a combination of syncthing and abraunegg's OneDrive sync. I found that the latter option has some issue syncing each devices' database and the OneDrive server's database with the jank setup I have with my work-given laptop, my still-old personal laptop I use when at work/outside, and my PC I use at home. In the end, I just have a /home/{USER}/OneDrive/ directory that I sync with syncthing between my linux devices and to the D:\\OneDrive\ on my always-on work-laptop which would sync the updates to OneDrive cloud for instant access for my co-workers and vendor partners.

Master PDF Editor

As for pdf, I found that masterpdf works perfectly. On my personal Fedora laptop I have a jank masterpdf4 and masterpdf5 install, which I have to have both versions because masterpdf5 locks a lot of the pdf editing options behind watermark paywall while masterpdf5 works much much better with latest qt and with drag-and-drop insert/delete/re-arrange. I recommend it if you need a non-paying option, but IMHO qoppa's PDF Studio is better for paid-option.
