Linux news

Installing is just following directions. It’s maintaining it after you Frankenstein the hell out of it that most new users struggle with

You might want to look at just how fast RAM is

there is no proprietary AMD Linux driver

I mean, there is. It just isn’t recommended for most users.

FYI: If you aren’t aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)

Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.

Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn’t personally recommend it.

That makes the stat worse, not better, no?

Uncounted users means fewer posts per user.

Oh, 100%. In terms of posts per active user, they look to be killing it.

most active instance on lemmy

In the case of “frequently defederated”? Or in General?

Looking at FediDB (which seems a little broken), it seems like Lemmy.World is tripling their monthly posts.

If you want to take on archiving a huge library of media, more power to you. But that isn’t a requirement. Many people use streaming downloads so that local storage is basically not required. Others download and set up services/plugins to delete episodes after they have been watched to ease storage requirements. Even if you want to keep all media, Raid is certainly a luxury, not necessity. Losing all of the media from a drive just means needing to download it all again.

And all of this is completely out of the argument of “feature parity” with Netflix. They drop shows and movies from their services all the time.

This was my thinking exactly. Figured “Okay, he probably just waved awkwardly or something”

Nah, not so much.

STOP I can’t afford to know this stuff exists right now!

I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.

AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.

Options are drying up 😢

Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding

You’re sick, he’s sick, we’re all sick! SICK!

Also i have a second panel at the top of my second monitor so i can always see the current date and time.

I think this one is probably very popular. I had a very hard time giving Gnome a chance because of its inability to do this by default.

Yeah, I suppose that may be it. Thanks for the insight.

Am I missing something? Nothing in the ML thread you were in reads remotely close to flaming to me.

True that

Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping it was this instead of “I disagree!”
