Don’t let Lemmy mislead you into thinking Linux is a drop-in replacement or easy to switch to. It’s a difficult process that takes learning, but hopefully you’ll find it worthwhile. Good luck with your troubleshooting.

You’re in the picture. You are seen.

It’s a strength check. It takes the might of Thor to squeeze the plug enough, in a tight space, at an odd angle, behind the computer.

That’s not just for internet publications of social media anymore…the headline news on the BBC is literally “Prince Harry says he wants reconciliation but the king refuses to speak to him”.

Is that why I can’t seem to find it on my laptop? Skill issue?

Excellent choice. I did the same last year. I’m still on Tumbleweed.

I’m getting better at finding new ways to break my installation. Now I don’t mess with things and just use it as is. Might start messing with stuff on my laptop rather than PC so I can mess up there instead.

All news sites should be consumed via RSS. Their front pages are the equivalent of social media algorithms and you only see what they want to show you. When you use RSS you get a list of news in time order and see news stories you would never see on their website because of how fast they drop it from their front page and bury it in menus.

I would be surprised if this mattered, but I don’t know for sure. The more serious problem would be if your sent emails get caught in their spam filter.

Ever had to pull the trigger?

Wife approval factor

My wife won’t use it if she can’t see an app for it to click on to start using immediately. Going through browsers is not an option. Not having a dedicated app on the LG TV is not an option. Not being able to find something instantly means instant rejection. She refused Plex, but now sometimes uses it and has learnt to find subtitles, etc by herself.

I don’t touch my self hosted apps. If something doesn’t behave properly on the first attempt then it gets rejected from our household. It’s only for us enthusiast nerds to put up with kanky UI and setup issues for the sake of superior functionality. Normie’s won’t tolerate it.

Thanks for the heads up. The next challenge is finding anything of value on the platform.

It doesn’t get used or recommended enough.

You may think you’re new…but clearly you have the spirit of a Linux veteran.

Arch btw

😆

The Steam Deck was the reason I changed. Used the Deck as my only PC for a couple of months and liked the experience so I changed.

I’ve had OpenSUSE on my PC for over a year now and really like it… But I’ll be honest, the move and troubleshooting problems for setup was a pain in the ass. But it’s stable and steady since I’ve gotten over setup pains.

Interesting that a solution exists for that scenario. I used to use 2 podcast apps to keep my dailies and serials separate and had to manually go between them.

Didn’t the LTT YouTube channel do this and show the system still works?

Not to say that you should do this though.

Nope. I’ve never used one.
