Which is good, because why should they care, let alone have to put up with things not quite working or work around anything?! LibreOffice / Office interoperability Indeed, aside from those who know because they have at least a bit of an interest, or who read this blog, the fact I am doing this is invisible to clients and other people with whom I work. Working with others - the vast majority of whom are not using Linux - has gone well.

The same is true for the admin side of running a law firm, which isn't massively different from running any other business.Įven my Bluetooth earbuds work :) Working with others (And this is good, as it has been a busy, and successful, year for me, work-wise!) Email, writing advice and preparing contracts, exchanging files, video calls, phone calls, and so on. I just boot my computer and get on with my work. It has - for the most part - "just worked".Īs in, day to day, I don't think "I'm using Linux!". In some ways, this is a pretty tough blogpost to write, because there's relatively little to write about. What has worked well Pretty much (but not quite) everything! I've recently added a treadmill so that, when I'm working but not on calls, I can plod away slowly too - my theory is that any exercise is better than the basically nothing that I was getting beforehand. I feel so much better at the end of the day than I did when sitting down for most of the day. Not at all Linux-related, but I still love my standing desk. (I've been meaning to extend these to PGP-encrypt emailed call recordings, but I've yet to do so.)

I've been using most of this for years, long before I switched to Debian on the desktop, but, since it all runs on Linux, I'm including it here anyway. Markdown editor (for blogposts I do presentations in vim or gedit): Apostrophe.Client-side encryption of files before syncing them with Nextcloud: Cryptomator.Browser: Brave (having moved from Firefox).PDFs: evince for most reading (but not for digitally signed PDFs see below) Xournal++ for marking up PDFs (and I love Xournal++, especially with the Surface's pen).Document production: LibreOffice's Writer.Pretty much anyone using Outlook does not, so they get top replies.Some clients (like me) prefer quoted, in-line replies.Drafting email before I paste it into Evolution: gedit, or vim.It's not very interesting, but here we go: Client-side stuff

Some people have asked what software I use.

With a few exceptions (below), my day-to-day software is now FOSS. I prefer the SurfaceBook 2, and the linux-surface project is superb, but the machine doesn't play nicely (for me) with two 4K monitors. I am using Debian 11, with GNOME, using Wayland, running on an Intel NUC (when I'm at my desk), and on a Microsoft SurfaceBook 2 (when I'm not). I'm not advocating that you switch, but rather just writing about my own experiences. This works for me, and my (English law) practice.

Now I've had the chance to get used to it a bit more, here are some follow-on thoughts. About a year ago, I wrote about my experience of running a law firm on Linux, three months in.
