  "textContent": "submitted by klu9 to linux4noobs\n12 points | 8 comments\n\n### Context\n\nI’ve started a Fediverse watch party (#ReMonsterdon on Mastodon) & want to store & organize info about it (films shown; films scheduled to be shown; candidates for showing; dates; relevant links like streams, trailers, Wikipedia; images like film posters etc).\n\nAt the moment, I’m using a combination of stuff on my computer, i.e. a folder with text & image files, and a collection on NeoDB, a Fediverse media catalogue.\n\nBut I’d like a more all-in-one & organized/organizable file (easy to search, sort etc). A lot of people use a spreadsheet for that kind of thing. But I was under the impression that that’s what **databases** are for.\n\nI don’t know much about either. I use spreadsheets very little and databases not at all (except NeoDB, I suppose).\n\n### Request\n\nIs there a simple, local, FLOSS, GUI database, suitable for beginners, that I could use for this?\n\n(I had a look at my installation of LibreOffice, but for some reason the options for creating a Base file are greyed out or missing).\n\n(I am not yet ready to try self-hosting. So something that is local, preferably in a system package, .deb or .AppImage. My OS: Linux Mint 22.2 Xfce.)\n\nThanks in advance",
