Escaping Microsoft is a very involved process. Basically, I have to find/develop an ecosystem and workflows for establishing and developing my “Online Brand” or identity. In addition to managing my personal growth and day-to-day life. And let’s not forget, Artificial Intelligence and how it may be used (or not) in my workflows.
After the last couple of months researching, reviewing, testing and evaluating:
- operating systems
- office suites
- development tools
- note-taking apps
- mind-mapping apps
I have come up with the following checklist for escaping Microsoft:
- Replace Microsoft OneDrive
- Migrate to new Cloud Storage
- Replace Microsoft Office applications with open-source
- Replace Windows
- Acquire, install and configure development tools for the chosen operating system.
- DO NOT Renew Microsoft 365!
- Settle into a base ecosystem for online presence.
