I used to love Gnome. Now I hate how it looks. Looks like they tried to mix MacOS and Android and just royally botched it.

I’m not trusting Apple at all, I exclusively use degoogled Android.

I’m an Android fan, but I do like the walled garden for iPhones. There are so many people who just do not understand how to protect their privacy online, and phones are a treasure trove of personal information. I’ve no doubt that the tight controls on iOS have saved many people from identity theft due to their own negligence. That, combined with the ease of use and the superior accessibility features over Android makes iPhone the better choice for older generations who don’t understand technology as well.

I don’t administer Linux, I use Linux. Unless you’re conflating being an end user with being an administrator, in which case I would say that’s a rather pretentious way to put it. Nobody walks around saying they administer Windows because they have a laptop. It sounds stupid.

Anytime you’re reduced to arguing semantics, it’s not even an argument worth engaging in. So I’m not going to bother responding further to you.

You got me there. Doing stuff like that on other platforms like the Switch totally prevented piracy, so I suppose it’s a good thing they didn’t do it on a system that thousands of devs know down to the kernel without having to reverse engineer.

It’s built on Linux. Specifically Arch Linux. So no, there’s nothing they could have done to lock it down to prevent piracy. Not even if they wanted to.

As long as you keep seeding torrents indefinitely, you’re contributing by keeping those torrents alive. That’s a huge benefit to the community, and it’s why you can get upload credit even if you aren’t uploading.

And the fact that ebooks take almost no space means you can indefinitely seed thousands of books even if it’s from a small hard drive.

So don’t feel useless. In fact, I want to thank you for helping out.

That’s an unfinished nature bridge.

The cool thing about that is that you can use it on iOS simply by visiting the Audiobookshelf instance directly on the web. So technically, it’s available on every platform that has some kind of browser.

Windows. Windows caused me to get into it.

I’ve no plans to go back to my abusive ex.

If you’re planning on gaming, and you have an NVIDIA card, then I would like to recommend Bazzite. I’ve been using it for months, and I’m very happy with it. Have it installed to my Steam Deck as well as my PC.

I get all the reasons why people hate snaps, and I think they’re all valid. And I appreciate people looking out for others and warning them about problematic software.

But man am I lazy, and I was really happy I didn’t need to set up Docker just to run Sonarr on Bazzite. I’m pretty new to Linux, and that looked like a whole intimidating process.

Comparing Snaps to manslaughter is a new one to me, but why couldn’t you have gone for the Godwin and compared it to Hitler?

I had this problem, but after not being able to resolve it I tried Bazzite and found the gaming experience was much better there anyway, so switched. This problem doesn’t exist on that distro.

Is most of the UI fine? Yes, absolutely. It’s just the rest of the OS that sucks.

It’s fine, everyone was a newbie at one time.

Three edits on one comment, I feel pretty special. Must really have bothered him if he had to come back twice. 😂

Well of course you haven’t had any issues you could pin specifically to NVIDIA + Wayland. Because according to your post you’re specifically using Nouveau + Wayland. Be kind of strange for a driver you don’t have installed to be causing you issues.

And you didn’t need to point out you’re an Arch user, we could tell just from the sense of superiority dripping off your comment.
