Using that site and doing my instance to Lemmyworld , your site is listed under the working ones. I know spam has been on the rise again on big instances, so that could be playing a part in this also.

You can change the default file manager. I’ve been using Nemo for years because Nautilus was pretty bad. Once I update I’ll have to re-evaluate and see what I think.

For under Linux I found this, and for under macOS I found this.

I think most of that can be taken from here: join-lemmy.org/donate. If you click through each donation method they each list goals/monthly intake.

EDIT - Minus crypto of course!

I think Debian has a place in the Desktop market, it’s just not gamers or anyone wanting anything new (unless they of course go the flatpak route). Not a perfect analogy, but it’s kinda like gaming on Windows 7 these days because it “just works” for you. Sure you can, but you’re not getting the best of anything that way and all the underlying libraries are outdated and some things just aren’t going to work at all.

And still is, as Google still has it on the first page of results for “Ubuntu without snaps”.

If you want, or are interested in looking at an easier to manage Arch install I would suggest CachyOS, EndeavorOS, or Garuda Linux.

I think if we could drag users (at least gamers) away from these Debian/Ubuntu based distros we could have developers just shipping packages that wouldn’t need to be compatible with some ancient LTS library release, and maybe we wouldn’t need appimage/flatpak/snap at all anymore (or at least only in rare cases).

I’m sure Canonical’s neverending death march towards Snap, along with the OS running outdated packages, is why Valve no longer uses Ubuntu for SteamOS development. The greatest April Fools was Ubuntu dropping Snaps because so many people were saying how they could go back to using Ubuntu again…then they noticed it was a joke and the sadness set in.

xfce4-terminal - because it’s easy to config, I like tabs, and it has good Unicode support.

Yeah, how Ubuntu is supposed to be noob friendly and continues to be recommended blows my mind. Seems like every stupid app you want to install needs you to add a ppa that is almost guaranteed to break on the next major update. And ugh snaps …

In the same vein of an “easier” Arch install, maybe also look @ CachyOS.

Elden Ring, Uncharted, and God of War absolutely work because on Linux is the only way I’ve played any of them. Starfield has been the only game recently that did not (still doesn’t) work on Linux via Steam without issue. And Starfield is a Nvidia issue not really a Linux issue.

This might be helpful to someone that hasn’t done a dual boot gaming benchmark to know that they can now stop dual booting and just run Linux. It has been years of conditioning for some being told that for best performance you had to play in Windows.

You will be able to do this with 0.19.0 release.

Users can block instances

Users can now block instances, so that their communities are hidden from listings. This is done via POST /api/v3/site/block with parameters int instance_id, bool block.

Lemmy 0.19 Breaking Changes

For me:

• Instance = MMO bosses. Part of the server, but doing your own thing, seperate from the rest of the server.
• Server = a large number of people that can interact and talk with each other.

But also me:

• Server/Instance = An individual connection point to the whole (Lemmy in this case), with it’s own rules/policies, but can interact with the whole unless they become unstable/spammy, at which point they are removed (Lemmy = defederated).
• Lemmy = The IRC network. You can have netsplits (different instances coming and going that effect each other), but they all talk the same language and really for the most part doesn’t matter what server your on.

Discord = I do not understand. It’s like if you mashed IM and IRC together, but broken, and doing nothing well. Why anyone uses it is perplexing.

I think it’s partly an older packages you have to source new versions of elsewhere kind of issue, and that you don’t have with a rolling release. Not entirely user error, but these types of distros suggested for newer users seems like just a way to push new users away the when the 1st major update and OS goes belly up. Ubuntu broke basically every major update before I moved away from it. Great for a server where you’re not looking for new software/drivers and just want stability, horrible for a desktop IMHO.

Audio or video? Depending on if your group of choice allows audio taping there is always etree.

• CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
• GPU: RTX 3600 Ti
• Driver: 535.104.5
• Memory: 32GB DDR4
• OS: Arch (Gnome - X session)
• Runtime: Proton-GE 8-14

Game launches and menus are fine, but gets stuck at screen after confirming a new game.

You would be much better off getting a seedbox and then grabbing your ISOs of it when complete.
