I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to...

I’ve installed Pop!OS after getting my Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 back from the warranty repair.
