I was just pressing every button once without success.

Trepang2. It’s the spiritual successor to FEAR.

It’s not free but I highly recommend Parted Magic. I’ve been using it since at least 2015.

I’d love to switch to Linux. I’ve used Linux off and on for almost two decades now. At one point I was triple booting Windows XP, Windows 7, and Fedora. The one thing holding me back is, strangely enough, game compatibility. I know Proton has made huge strides as I’ve seen it first hand on the Steam Deck, a lovely little machine. The problem is, I have a huge library, and while I’m okay with slightly less than ideal performance here and there on the Deck (40hz mode anyone?), I absolutely refuse to lose any performance due to running Linux. Benchmarks still show some titles losing 5-15% performance when running through Proton.

Don’t get me wrong. I love FOSS. I donate and try to spread the word as much as I can when I find a passion project, and find it particularly useful. Even though this may seem to go against what I previously said, I’m debating on switching to Linux when Windows 10 loses support. I do not want to enable fTPM on my motherboard or update my BIOS if I don’t have to. My PC is stable, no thank you. I feel like I’ll have to troubleshoot whether I choose Linux or Windows 11. Ugh.

All I know is LineageOS claims to support devices beyond the date manufacturers do. Graphene stops getting updates the same date the manufacturer sets.

I’m feeling some of that early internet charm here. That might be part of why I’m a little more active. Still a lurker through and through.

I’ve heard good things about Pop. Great video driver support (it’s bundled in the install) and it just works out of the box . Fire up Steam and play some games.

I’m not too knowledgeable on this but I imagine the servers update content or ingest content from other servers at different rates. Some larger instances are under heavy load and some instances may be running older/newer versions of Lemmy.

Do admins have any say in how content is ordered in the feed? I don’t know at all.

I never used Apollo but I’m really liking wefwef.

I’m excited for Artemis. I’ve been using Lemmy and Kbin almost equally. Kbin’s default mobile page is highly accessible, more so than Lemmy but I’d prefer an app. Using wefwef for Lemmy and I’m really pleased with it.

This is pretty much why I never attempted to use something like Jellyfin for the music I, um, accumulated through the years. I use Spotify and Youtube these days.
