I don’t feel much like “working” at running Linux today, but the things on my short list are:

Install and configure Espanso. (From source, since there doesn’t seem to be a package for it.) This also means I need to go back to Espanso on the Macs. It’s been flaky about startup issues there, so I fell back to my Keyboard Maestro snippets.
Decide about switching to Fish shell. I use Fish on my Mac and love it, but it’s configured with a bunch of macOS-specific paths and I’m tired of fixing that particular thing right now.
Configure backups.Can this be as simple as rclone of the important bits to a thumb drive and/or my Hetzner storage box for now?
Get emacsclient configured properly as $EDITOR.

One nice thing is that so far I’ve not spent time trying to find “better” solutions for the default apps. I’m still new here, so I’m happy using “Files” and “Calendar” etc. I know me, and I know this will likely change, but it’s nice for now to live by my “Use what you have” model.
