I used citymapper on my trip through four countries in Europe a couple months ago and it was amazing for the transit systems and navigating me around. Especially useful in Paris and London’s subway and bus lines. I really liked the reminder notification it would send me when my stop was approaching, because I would get the notification on my Garmin watch.
Other than that, openvpn client back to my home router in the US when I was on public Wi-Fi.
Google translate for real time image translation and quick reference to ensure I remembered the right word in French or German properly.
Here’s a dad’s reply in a similar place - Win 11 is fine. I put it off for a very long time and just upgraded a couple weeks ago. It hasn’t really been an impact.
Is Linux better? Yes. Does win 11 just work without too much fuss? Yes.
I still have Linux on many machines in my house except for my gaming rig, just because I don’t want to have to break it and spend time refreshing it because my Linux skills aren’t up to par. I have a full time job and young kids and don’t have as much tinkering time as I used to.
That being said, I’m migrating ALL machines that aren’t compatible with win 11 to Linux to avoid tossing them in a landfill like many will do, like my son’s gaming PC.
