+1 that question, I’ve also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn’t see the benefit of it until now.

Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)

For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p

Yes, sorry for missunderstanding !

Ok, typing in the password but not seeing any characters (like * e.g.) is quite common. It prevents shoulder surfers from seeing the acual length of you password.

That means, that its still possible, that you keyboard is actually working there.

Are you using a layout different from US-ANSI ? Sometimes devices fall back to US layout during boot, which would lead to you typing in a “wrong” password, without noticing it. Especially special characters have different keys on different layouts. On german layout e.g. “y” and “z” are “swapped”.

Just partly related, and probably no help here - but about the fact, that you can’t type in that password (regardless whether you can remember it or not):

you probably use a bluetooth keyboard on that surface? Before boot is finished, bluetooth connection is not possible, so you need some sort of USB/serial keyboard to even type.

Had this issue when full disk encrypting a surface, because without usb (or the original serial) keyboard your stuck in the luks mount process during boot…

I postet a screenshots from https://manjaro.org/products website where they have a stock photo of a macbook besides the download button for the desktop .iso

Know theres another macbook stockphoto at gnomes website.

So either there are no other laptops produced that fit the highly enterpr1se entrepreneur busine5s investment1t!1! life style of the regular linux users who visit these websites, or manjaro and gnome are all investing in asahi linux secretly.

I understand that the iphone became a synonym for “mobile phone” especially when it comes to graphics. The unique look of them, especially when they still had their home button, makes it very easy to draw one on a computer e.g.

And macbooks are widely used by professionals of all disciplines, so yes, macbooks are associated with profession.

All fine, but why on a Linux-Distro website, like manjaro ?! Why on Gnome? Apples not really invested in getting open source software running on their systems, so where come the probs from and what for?
