Anyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”

The top finger kinda gives it away imo

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

Exactly, otherwise it’s just, well, scrolling.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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

Are you a bot lmao it looks nothing like lcars

This is cool but why can’t we change the whole theme😖

Any inconveniences you’ve noticed with Graphene? For example I’ve heard tap to pay functionality doesn’t work.

Well said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they’re out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.

Potentially unpopular protip: I’ve blocked most of the “prolific” posters. My entire feed was becoming repurposed memes from 2015.

I’m happy there are people out there dedicating time to keeping Lemmy “active” but that is not how I want to live my life.

I love being able to have the small-forum feeling of my home instance but also feeling connected to communities elsewhere.

TikTok → Reddit → Lemmy → …grass?

I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.

Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.

Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out here in the wilds.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.
