Yeah that is wild. Back on windows I had a three monitor setup at one point and honestly rarely utilized the whole of it.
Ever since moving to Linux and learning about virtual desktops I have never felt the need for more than one monitor. So I could hardly imagine the need for seven beyond novelty lol.
Awesome, I will look more into that!
Any modern distro.
There are GUI methods for adding repositories to every major software center to my knowledge, and it isn't very hard.
Kate, and other modern file editors are more than equipped to handle some config files, that's probably the simplest thing ever.
There are multiple GUI front ends for samba.
Don't comment on the usability of Linux GUI if you haven't even tried in the last 20 years like seriously
It is for the sake of combatting the commonly held belief that you can't do anything without the terminal in Linux.
Progress on the accessiblility, and GUI centric applications and functionality in Linux has been huge in the last decade or two. It is now entirely possible to use a Linux system while rarely needing the terminal. And if you have someone techy helping set it up for you then it is possible to never have to.
This makes a lot of sense, though I can't help but think about the fact that all these distros were once brand new projects that people had to go out on a limb and try out before they became what they are today.
Though I also guess these projects had more official dedicated support.
In any case, I won't be the one going out on a limb for a while now lmao
I reckon if I go about trying to game again I will just go ahead and rebase to bazzite. Seems the easiest route
Rebasing is easily one of the coolest features of the atomic suite. I will definitely look into bazzite more in the future, just wish I knew about it before all this lmao
Yeah that's why I put it in quotes, it just kept popping up when I searched for distros more inclined towards gaming lol.
Yeah I didn't know about bazzite before going about this whole thing, but I am not going to try gaming on my system until nvk becomes more capable. Even then only light work.
I'm not necessarily a begginer as I have been using Linux for a few years now, but arch is definitely out of my wheelhouse
Something I think is interesting is that, in order for companies to adopt these better non ad reliant models, they would have to dramatically scale down.
In a climate where ad and clicks = revenue, your solution is to scale as large as you can and pump out content to maximize views. But that wouldn't work under normal models
Pixelfed is really interesting, and this sounds like a fun project!
The only problem major problem I have encountered with trying to use defederated social medias, outside of Lemmy, like it and mastadon has been the lack of discover ability. I guess I don't know how to properly utilize the platforms, but I never find much that is particular to my interests
This is awesome! I don't use the dedicated GPU on my laptop for anything outside light gaming, so I will definitely be switching to this as soon as it is available for Fedora
I wouldn't advertise on the premise that Windows is a horrible, privacy invasive OS. Even though it's true that would easily be grounds for Windows to claim defamation and pummel the entire thing into the ground with legal fees
