THANK YOU!

I tried to use LibreWolf but Twitch wasn’t working. It would tell me I had an unsupported browser. Is there a solution to that? I did try to make it so my browser was recognized as Chrome but it didn’t solve the issue.

Oh that looks good. Gonna check it out.

Back when I was on windows, I didn’t even bother with clients anymore. The new outlook has ads in it and barely works.

I use Thunderbird now since they updated their interface and it’s very pretty and fast. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Oh wow you can? I just switched to Nemo on Arch after using Thunar for a long time but I got annoyed at it for crashing a lot when I copy files to my FTP server. Very good to know!

I want to use it but does it support subscriptions/ accounts? I have a lot of subs and I don’t wanna resub manually to all of them :(

EDIT: You absolutely can:

1. Go to https://takeout.google.com/ (login if needed)
2. Select only YouTube > All YouTube data > Deselect all > Select only Subs
3. Download the takeout file and extract the .csv
4. In Freetube, go to Settings > Data Settings > Import subs and click on the .csv
5. Enjoy!

Very cool :)

Didn’t know that!

Nice, I’m one of the 4 people who use Wayfire. I really like it and it fits my workflow perfectly. Happy to see it getting some updates!

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Very easy on the eyes too.

Depends what kind of games you play. Games like Fortnite, Roblox (though it seems a workaround is being worked on?), R6 won’t work because of their anticheat systems.

Personally, 100% of my Steam library of 200+ games work perfectly on Proton.

Thanks for the info!

For sure. I prefer audio quality but this was easy to use.

I used spotdl to download mine. Though it grabs your music from YouTube, not from Spotify itself (downloads MP3s from YouTube) https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

You don’t. I don’t make the rules.

I’m gonna vouch for EndeavourOS on this one. It’s Arch based but it has very sane defaults. It’s the spiritual successor to Antergos.

For sure. I daily drove it for a long time many years ago when it was starting.

I tried it again recently when I was looking for a Linux OS for my moms 2009 white MacBook, since the default DE wouldn’t be too hard for her to understand.

I forgot how you legit can’t customize anything without external tools, PPAs and DEB support is disabled and requires a terminal command to enable, which is not user friendly at all for people new to Linux. Their App Store is also super buggy and the updates would make it crash every time I tried to run them, so again, had to resort to the terminal.

Lastly, I was surprised at how poorly it ran. I know it has a Core 2 Duo and « only » 6 GB of RAM, but every other distro I tried (Solus, Mint Cinnamon, Fedora) ram perfectly fine.

It’s just sad because it used to be a nice distro IMO. Now I can’t see myself recommending it.

/rant over, sorry

It always depends if you have proprietary hardware. I have multiple Macs at home I use as servers on Linux and the Broadcom wifi cards are a mess. But once you know what to do, it works well.

I think that’s the reason why they’re being downvoted. It’s not true anymore. It used to be an issue, sure. But the same can be said about reinstalling windows without drivers.

I came back to Linux about a month ago. I was nervous at first that my stuff wouldn’t work, it required a bit of tweaking to get everything how I want it, but I’m happy to be here :) I use Arch btw
