  • Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it's "immutable" which means the OS filesystem can't be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

    Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

  • I am trying out Kinoite now but it's very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a "Just works" experience to start with.

  • Every. Single. Time.

  • It's purely marketing and I wish it would stop getting repeated. BlueSky is centralized and a for-profit company.

  • With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

    I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro

    oh god dammit

  • That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.

    "Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there's a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone."

  • Y'all know damn well Corridor8031 didn't donate a dime.

  • This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

  • I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway

    A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts

  • Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

  • IMO someone looking to be fed a constant stream of content will always be happier with commercial platforms. Someone looking to participate in a community or have discussions can be convinced to come to the fediverse.

  • Not sure how Kagi will help with my supermarket loyalty card but thanks anyway

  • Good piece. I have been largely impressed with Firefox's "AI" features. They appear to be just normal useful features they are calling "AI" for marketing.

  • Tried and couldn't! Was hoping someone here could highlight something I missed but seems no.

  • Eh, not really. I don't use google and I block trackers anyway.
