The pineapple is already digesting the pizza. Win win.

Same, but we knew it was going to be about tortillas didn’t we.

Oh, haha, that’s a weird bug; thanks for the tip.

Thanks!!!

Lol, that was my first thought too, but I was surprised to find that a lot of people are using other stuff, so it got me curious.

Oh yeah, the setup assistant from garuda sounds like it might be helpful for him.

Oh thanks for the endeavor recommendation. It might be a bit too much of a change for us, but I’ll let him take a look.

I know that any distro can be a gaming distro in principle, but we don’t really know what changes we should be making to improve his experience, so that’s what we’re hoping one of the gaming distros can help with. I’m fairly comfortable with what I need to do for my daily use, but not so much for games.

Thanks, yeah my impression of Wayland was similar. Curious why not flatpak steam; that’s what he was using before, and it seemed fine.

I think he wants to try something different. He was frustrated that gaming on Linux requires “so much fiddling” (the kids today truly have no idea). So he tried installing windows, and that went about as well as you could expect (I did try to warn him, but he had to see for himself). So, he’s ready to reinstall Linux, and I suggested trying a gaming distro just so he doesn’t feel like it was a total waste of time.

Cold-brewing pop user here

Another happy pop user here! The business model for system76 is basically to make a distro that works seamlessly on the hardware they sell. Side benefit: their distro also works seamlessly on a bunch of other modern hardware, and they pay a lot of attention to quality of life features that make hardware customers happy.

I think some others here are missing the point of the question. Right now people are arguing about the fosstodon mods policy that all posts there must be in English. People are coming at it from every angle you can imagine, and maybe some you can’t. It’s amazing! Here on Lemmy we had our own little drama with behaw (de)federation a while ago. (How did that play out? I didn’t pay close attention.)

I think OP is asking how to convey that drama of fedi culture. Not (necessarily) the technical aspects.

“I committed them to memory… I forgot.” I think about this every time I forget something, which is a lot.

Is this a rhetorical question? One very very strong password that is never passed to a third party, managing a separate passwords that do have to be sent over the internet, is definitely a better strategy. It makes 2FA redundant for the majority of standard threat models, and that’s why bitwarden includes support for those timings too.

Let me introduce you to your personal savior, cast iron.

I’m glad this got left up, because it doesn’t seem like a rule violation to me. It benefits at least some other community members, like me, who didn’t know there were any options at all for a TV launcher.

Yeah, you have to wait until other people are ready to switch. I just mention signal each time one of my friends complains about Facebook owning Whatsapp, and eventually some of them switch. I don’t know that about the ads, but I guess I’m not surprised.

Maybe you know, but since 2016 whatsapp uses the same open-source encryption technology developed by the signal foundation. This means, on the one hand, that most user content is protected from facebook by encryption that it does not control, and on the other hand that the signal app (also made by the signal foundation) is a readily-available replacement for whatsapp when people are ready to switch.
