Been daily driving Asahi (first ALARM then Fedora when they transitioned) and it’s been exciting to experience in real time how far the project has come. When I first installed, audio didn’t work, the graphics driver was incomplete, and battery life left a lot to be desired. Skip to today and it’s evident how committed marcan and other contributors are to not just porting, but making everything feel right. Highly suggest following him or Lina on Mastodon.
Bring back anti-trust regulations. Microsoft has been trying to acquire anything they can get their hands on, and really should be dismantled on principle.
Who in their right mind would pay for a dying social media platform? This reeks of desperation from a man trying to convince himself of his own supposed public image.
I’ve already migrated from Twitter to Mastodon, Reddit to Lemmy, looks like I’ll have to test disabling my traffic to YouTube. I control what content reaches my eyes on my devices, not Google. That is a hard line for me.
Yes, definitely. Maybe I feel like my contributions matter more since we are all trying to make this a viable platform? I dunno, but it’s definitely more fun interacting here than on reddit.
I miss these old 90s style buttons on websites. A much simpler time…
I use adblock wherever I can as ads have only become more annoying and intrusive over time. It’s incredibly frustrating going to a site and having three banner ads covering 60% of the screen, or seeing an unskippable ad interrupt a YouTube video every 90 seconds. It’s wasted time I will never get back, and it feels like theft of my life. I wish I could have adblock everywhere outside of the internet.
I appreciate it friend. Just had a conversation today about it and I’m feeling better. Thank you. :)
This is exactly how I’m feeling right now.
Wow, I totally forgot about CompUSA. I used to love going there as a kid, back when Apple had that underdog appeal. Now I’m a FOSS maxi (just don’t look at my iPhone…).
No shame in using the distro you like. I use Ubuntu for my Nextcloud server and it’s extremely reliable.
macOS is still Unix, so you’ll find yourself somewhat at home in the terminal.
Honestly, if you’re distro hopping a lot, find one that supports your hardware well out of the box with a desktop environment that suits you and works and stick with it. Futzing around with everything can definitely make it more frustrating.
I’ll echo others’ comments and say that operating systems are tools. Find the one that works for the job. If I’m doing audio production, macOS wins for me. If I’m gaming, I have a Windows install. If I’m doing anything else, Linux is my preferred environment. Don’t overthink it, go with what works for what you need!
I run Tumbleweed on my x86_64 machines, Asahi on my M1 macs. I might try to install Gentoo on one machine, tried in the past but my inexperience led to some frustration. Pretty confident I could get it running now and it would be pretty fun to learn!
I’m more curious how many are running SteamOS vs Windows to get an idea of how good proton support for titles is.
I would like to know who is running SteamOS and how Proton is working for you.
Stealth. I hate hiding and creeping around waiting for an NPC to move. It’s like, “oh, you want to play the game? How about not playing the game instead?” Infuriating.
This is what it’s like when platforms are made by the community for the community.
Sorry a bit let to reply, but I’m running on M1 Air and Mini. Off the top of my head, built-in microphone doesn’t work and external displays don’t work through USB/Thunderbolt. Was also having trouble getting my audio interface to work even in class compliant mode. Otherwise it’s a very polished and easy experience.
