I’ve been running Pop!_OS with the Cinnamon desktop environment on my machine at home for the past 3 months. I’m very impressed with the out-of-the-box experience. All my games run in Steam or Lutris.

Fuck Microsoft.

All the solar panels, ARs, and “Patriot” food kits won’t prep them for when the pollinators die off.

What Terry Gilliam movie is this from?

I’ve been very impressed by the out-of-the-box experience with Pop!_OS. My Steam games work, and I have Elder Scrolls Online running through Lutris.

So far, everything just works.

Absolutely this. I pay for both my Proton and Notesnook accounts. No ads, no trafficing my data, and services I like and believe in.

I’ve been using the Freetube client for several months and have not opened YT in my browser the entire time. Love it, and highly recommend it.

Wilkommen, amigo!

Murena phones look promising. And you can download their e/OS if you want to flash the phone you have, provided it’s supported. https://murena.com

Mainly the 5000 character limit. It handles MFM (though I don’t really use it), and features like antennas (very specific follow lists).

+1 for Sharkey. It’s my favorite of the protocols, so far.

This is from July, but there’s definitely financial shenanigans going on. And if the Chinese economy tanks… https://essanews.com/chinas-banking-turmoil-40-banks-vanish-as-crisis-deepens,7047618605385345a

Thanks for the recommendation!

I’m planning on flashing my One Plus 9 Pro with Murena’s ROM. I’m working on getting de-googlefied.

Myself, I use my bank’s web portal via my mobile browser. Not as instant as an app, but it gets the job done.

Love me some FreeDoom.

You have a whole community backing you! And once you’ve installed the OS, you’ll feel like you can conquer the world.

Windows Recall did it for me. I switched to Pop!_OS Linux and have been pretty content so far.

Trip-hop.

This. We live in a crazy timeline right now. People are stressed, angry, afraid, and it just seems to be getting worse. Couple that with a culture that promotes gun ownership so heavily, and it’s a recipe for what we see in this case. “It was just a prank, bro” is no defense, especially when someone has asked you to stop and is backing away from you. He’s engaging in risky behavior by acting like a creep. He wants to make people uncomfortable to illicit a reaction? Well, bub, you got a reaction.
