This, so much. Looking back, it’s just insane that pretty much every program you don’t regularly use will beg for updates on Windows. There are some bandaids like WinGet now that I appreciate, but it’s still nowhere as seamless as when the OS and the whole ecosystem around it are designed with a package manager in mind.
A huge chunk of the time I have to spend on tinkering is probably already saved by me not having to wait for updates.
Because it wasn’t mentioned, I’ll just note that Joplin has also has the option to sync with a dedicated server component.
While it doesn’t work in a P2P configuration like a Syncthing setup allows, I’d recommend it for anyone with access to a server.
