People who are used to NewPipe can use it

Also this is more of a testament to Android on Linux rather than NewPipe on Linux

I thought you were joking, but yup they actually started quizzing eachother on WW2.

It’s not the end of Linux by any means, but that’s gonna be hard to work together afterwards

This was my mistake, but I don’t think people recommended Debian as a desktop OS - I believe it was recommended as a server

This is one of the reasons I love Flatpak so much

I don’t have a “top 5”, but the main thing was outdated software. I went to Debian because I wanted “stability” and heard that it was good, but it ended up meaning the “15-minute bugs” I encountered weren’t fixed for basically the whole year I used it, all the apps looked like they were made in 2007, and if it weren’t for Linux forums I would never have known that there were more “modern” Linux apps, and I would have been left believing Linux development basically died

Moving from Windows as an intermediate user was the worst. I hated Linux for like a year. I knew just enough quirks about Windows to get 95% of what I wanted, 95% of the time, and on Linux I had to start from scratch.

Now of course I love I made the switch, as my Linux proficiency let me customize the heck out of everything, but damn, that first year…

Don’t miss the forest for the trees.

Do whatever makes you most comfortable so you don’t go back to Windows or MacOS.

Greg sent out the patch but won’t respond to mail list questions. Sad to see Linux leadership bend the knee

Last time I tried Genymotion (a few years ago) their Linux support existed, but sucked

You’re an OG for providing the OC

There’s torrent clients on Android. You don’t need a computer

As others mentioned, you can either donate code or money. If you want to help Lemmy.ml the most, I recommend the Patreon linked above since it goes straight to the Lemmy.ml admin (who very much needs cash to stay afloat because he’s been working on Lemmy full-time for years, for peanuts)

That’s a good deal for this laptop and while Nvidia sucks on Linux (you’ll have some support issues), that graphics card isn’t the worst offender.

Tldr yes buy and install Linux. You’ll have to tinker for the graphics card though.

This is a legitimate option per EU guidelines btw. They just want you to accept cookies.

Alyssa is an absolute legend. Every time I read a banger blog post I check the author, and on multiple sites she comes up as the OP.

My understanding was Teflon didn’t do anything bad to the body?

Wartime means taxes from citizens. Private companies offer to help the government for said taxes to help fuel the war machine

Pine64s “problem” was they only ever did the hardware. Like they sponsor some software, but they make and sell hardware. They gained a lot of popularity from the Pinephone, but very little changed internally at Pine64. They’re still the same they always were
