90% light tech entertainment, 10% educational. Youtube tech review channels have limited usefulness outside those few moments you need to make a new purchase but sometimes you might discover or learn something new, but it’s mostly just constant roll of advertisements of new tech gadgets, basic tech advice for the uneducated masses, benchmarks and other such things that don’t really matter much and to be honest, most of the content comes out looking and sounding the same - and rather corporate.

But I guess that’s what happens to all big media outlets eventually.

The WAN show (current tech-afftairs podcast) is the only “half-serious” thing that’s worth a listen imho.

My comment is mostly a reflection of people who are not project maintainers. FOSS users are known to be insufferable bunch. We tend to want to crucify people who are trying something different (see comments in this thread, for example). The ”community” is toxic, as the kids say.

A dime a dozen in FOSS it seems.

Not really into fungi or old free software fogies so I guess I’d have to go with traitor.

Miguel also developed Xamarin and Mono (his company was acquired by Microsoft).

RMS labeled him as “Traitor to the Free Software Community” which has to be some kind of badge of honor, lol

Ok, well - there’s the community support section as well. I’ve been on Debian since 1997 so I’m probably not the best person to give detailed advice on this.

Good luck!

Not sure why you felt like you had to have LLM write your post, but each to their own…

Ubuntu and Fedora are the officially supported distros. So go with either of them. https://frame.work/linux

Seems Bazzite, Arch, Nix and Mint are top of the “community supported” distros. https://frame.work/laptop16?tab=linux

Pro: It does what I need an OS to do. Mostly, I need it to manage my hardware devices and staying out of my way.
Con: It’s a pain in the ass when it occasionally decides to stop managing my hardware devices and gets in my way.

What do I miss from Windows: Nothing. I’ve been using Linux since 1997. Back then Win95 was absolute shitshow. Idk what it is now. I don’t much care.

I don’t. I’ve been running Debian since 1997.
From what I read on the Internets, lot of gamers seem to like Bazzite.

Just try it out for a bit. If you don’t like it, switch back. That’s it. It’s not one of lifes major decisions.

You’re saying Lemmy usage is turn on? I’m not judging, you do you, but that’s a weird fetish

Just keep working harder! It’ll trickle down!

Had you said Teams is the most comprehensive collaboration platform I would have been right there with you.

But Teams is really just a Sharepoint front-end with tacked on voice and text chat. It’s not a messaging platform.

VC financed social media at the start of its enshittification journey. Started interesting with open protocol but seems it has no ambitions of being open.

Deleted my account 6 months ago and haven’t missed it.
