i’ve been on linux on and off since 1998, however I fully switched about 5 years ago and never looked back.
I was curious around 3 months ago, between distro swapping and I installed W11. It lasted 2h until I rage installed linux and took me an entire day to wash the windows taste off. bleah…
Le chat almost made it.

uhhh, Trump, brainwash, Trump, stupidity, Trump… *drooling on Lemmy.
Colt Canyon! looks great! I might buy it myself if I don’t make it.
very cool. thanks for sharing this. they even have an official flatpak.
I have switched to all of the things you mentioned a while back and never looked back, but it’s impossible to get friends of family to so the same. For them web search == google, browsers == google chrome, facebook is the only existing internet service and the same with whatsapp.
I’m afraid that, no matter how hard we try, we will always and forever be a part of a lonely niche.

If it’s good it must be bad, right?
I have fully switched my arch to flatpak only( for user installs obviously). There are still some apps missing features like anything requiring secure credential storage (i.e tutanota) , but for the most part using flatpaks has been an amazing experience, if you can live with the increased required storage needs.
I was planning a holiday in the US this or next year, but decided not to proceed with it. I’d rather go anywhere else now really. Currently for me Russia = India = China = North Korea = USA now. Plenty of european countries I’d rather throw my money at.
Which is the reason I don’t have a discord account. I just can’t be bothered.
tell me about it. i’ve recently been sort of forced to switch from android to ios (some special circumstance) and holy shit, the virtual keyboard is atrocious.
I would immediately jump on a blackberry keyboard phone when and if one ever gets released.
my cousin had this issue with her 4a and advised her to switch to graphene. not sure if that will do much, but at least 4a still had extended legacy support.
I don’t understand the hype with Bazzite. I mean, any linux is better than windows and Bazzite is just linux with bloat and a bad one at that.
my experience with Bazzite: install, use LACT to attemp a small overclock, crash, reboot, lots of packagers missing from distro, uninstall, went back to vanilla Arch.
immutable distros are just a hype and nothing more.
I’ve been an arch user for years and recently switched to Cachy cause of performance promises and curiosity. I did use their repos before in arch,but I ended up with a mess and instead of fixing the mess I decided to wipe the slate clean.
It’s a decent distribution ,like most,but it did offer me 0 stutters in Path of Exile 2. With Arch I had so many stutters for some reason that it was really unplayable. I think anancy-cpp or kernel schedulers, or everything combined, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Anyway, fire up a vm, or install on baremetal and decide for yourself .
only for it to be a safari wrapper on ios…
it’s a very interesting distribution. it feels and probably is slightly faster than arch, with their optimised packages (I had v3), but to be honest you have to rely on their prebuilt binaries and I prefer flatpaks.
I used it for ~ 3 months, but eventually went back to arch and flatpaks (using flatpaks on cache defeats the purpose of having v3/v4 packages, until someone starts bundling optimised dependencies ).
I prefer the originals always, but it is a viable alternative if you enjoy a friendly installer (their Anaconda is very nice).
i’ve had none of those issues and i’ve been a jellyfin user for the past 5 years or so, but I do use containers for the server.
Android client is not great, but there are alternatives like Findroid, which is pretty great.
Last point is literally a couple of clicks. You just need to understand what libraries are and how to add them.
