I looked at your post history and you’re overwhelming negative on a very small platform that tends to be people interacting with their best interests at heart. Maybe you grew up on 4chan, maybe you’re used to reddit griefing, either Lemmy doesn’t seem like a good place for you.
I can think of a few that are bigger. But it’s up there.
I was an Ubuntu person for a long time, and when reading criticism about the inability to upgrade versions, I realized that had been my entire experience. I decided to give a rolling release a chance, and it’s been amazing.
I use arch(installer)btw. 🐧 AURs are pretty ingenuous, which is just pulling and compiling a git. Maybe a little less secure, but look at what happened to the snap store this year.
If you want to try a rolling release but didn’t want to use Arch, there’s always Fedora, & OpenSuSE Tumbleweed.
Outside of that, for non Ubuntu distros you could do OpenSuSE regular, or for true LTS use Rocky. Or take the red pill and go with Hannah Montana’s Linux.
Interesting. I’ve actually had the opposite experience. Jellyfin has been smoother and more reliable than Plex. Maybe it’s worth checking out Emby, I think it solves the fast client switching (but I’m not entirely positive). I’ve just taken to running both. When I hit Plex snags I pop over to Jellyfin.
Are you using Swiftfin?
The easiest step into this world is KDE. It has a store for users to share global themes, color themes, even sddm animations.
You can use kwin rules to send certain apps to certain desktops, start shaded, all sorts of fun stuff.
And then you can throw a tiling manager on top of that. If you want to use the control panel, you can install bismuth. If you’re comfortable editing text files, awesome or i3 (but I have yet to go that far).
If you really want to go for it, hyperland looks incredible, but it is a lot of up front work.
Not to be pedantic but KDE is a desktop environment not a an OS. Perhaps you were thinking of KDE Neon?
On win 10 that crapware would reinstall on every feature update.
I picked up a used HP Envy x360 with the ryzen processor and it’s been pretty good. The stylus is t a full digitizer like a Wacom, but it’s good enough for sketching
Audiobook server does work with ebooks.
I think the steam deck is becoming the first computing device for a lot of young people that had iPads, and it’s going to be a desktop computer for a lot of aspiring and broke college students. It’s definitely a gateway device.
I wish they would just release a docker so I could install it myself…
Photoshop Web is closest
You have to edit the registry at install to get Win11 to install on most machines.
Steam deck has entered the chat.
What if you wanted to use 1pass or LastPass? They work flawlessly as browser extensions.
Craigslist is all we have!
And unionized
Matrix/Element has been the best for our group. You could also give rocket chat or Mattermost a spin.
I’m curious what would happen if chrome is split from googles core business. That won’t happen of course, because we live in hell, but it would be great.
