  • Finally making the move to Linux, and I have questions before I get started.

  • Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.

    Also don't overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.

  • Linux Mint a PITA to install on Win 11

    Jump

  • True, I edited my comment. I personally recommend the USB method (or if you have easy access to the internals- just swapping out an SSD).

  • Is slrpnk.net down for everyone else too?

  • First of all, you are on feddit.nl and cannot speak for"Lemmy". That said- if anything, "Lemmy" users should be supporting independent journalism like 404 Media.

  • It takes some doing, but you can live boot windows from a USB drive for those rare instances you need it. You can also just install it to a VM inside Linux (also not easy). But honestly these days the times where you'll NEED Windows are few and far between (and getting fewer and farther).

  • Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Not liking someone is not a good reason to root against decentralized platforms, IMO. The entire point of decentralization is that nobody gets to control the experience and who is/isn't allowed to participate.

  • Unless he joins fedia.io you don't really get a say in what he does... kind of the entire point behind decentralization....

  • How will we deal with all the broken images?

    Jump

  • It's also an avenue for attacks.

  • The growth of the network*

    There are many platforms in the Fediverse. The fact that the network can survive the collapse of one platform is a strength of decentralization. The Lemmy/mbin/piefed universe can only ever be exactly as big as we, the users, want it to be.

  • Pete Hegseth orders Navy to strip name of gay rights icon Harvey Milk from ship in time for Pride Month

  • Greetings fellow /u/kirk, nice bike!

  • Tinder tests letting users set a 'height preference'

    Jump

  • Tinder started as a "hook-up" app, if they went back to that kind of marketing I would not find the company quite so reprehensible.

  • Bazzite is a custom image of Kinoite, but I'm not surprised it's taking off, it's great.

  • While Lemmy is still young we should establish a culture of politely, yet firmly ridiculing the weight of the mothers of users who don't de-clickbait headlines.

  • Loretta Swit, Emmy-winner who played Maj. Houlihan on pioneering series 'M.A.S.H.,' has died at 87

  • We salute you, Loretta.

    MASH is a very good show, it's aged (a little too) well and the jokes still land to this day. Highly recommended.

  • AI video just took a startling leap in realism. Are we doomed?
