This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn’t previously know about to add to my collection.

But it’s true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.

I hear good things about Chimera OS feeling a lot like Steam OS when you’re trying to get a similar experience for laptops, if that’s what you’re going for.

Keep a small Windows partition if you play any of those games with anti-cheat that don’t allow Linux.

Otherwise, almost everything else just works with Proton. It’s a lovely age.

My two favorite distros as well.

Mint Cin is a solid first distro. UI feels a lot like Windows and gives a comfy environment to learn in.

Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.

If they’d have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they’d have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos… not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn’t have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.

I see this “problem” that they have as being entirely of their own making.

Here’s what I did on launch day to bypass the .NET issue.

I’m on a Steam Deck running Steam OS, so you may have to adjust this a bit to your distro, but that is what worked for me.

Am the the only weirdo who swapped over to Linux without knowing a ton about it, and didn’t really have any issues? I just started with a Windows-user-friendly distro (Mint Cinnamon), and then just looked up how to get through any weird (to me) issues that I encountered over time. Gradually learned more about what’s under the hood as I went.

But I see these memes and stories about “I tried Linux, it lasted a week and I went back to Windows” here and there.

It’s not scary. Am I missing something? XoD

I’m fine with my landlord raising my rent each year.

By the actual rate of inflation.

Funny how that never seems to happen, and they go shooting way past that. Hmmmmm.
