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.

So do I. I can’t imagine being a parent right now.

If I had a daughter, I’d be teaching her how to kill a man with a pencil.

Fine. Deport my ass back to Ireland. 🇮🇪

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.

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.

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.

I miss the r/Hinduism community quite a bit. It was a real help for me when I first started following that particular path. Lots of friendly, helpful people.

Thing is, when the whole api fracas happened, I deleted my account and vowed not to use that site again.

I think the only way to know is to start a community. It may be small, but if it’s active, fun, and full of good discussion (and occasional good-natured trash talk), it can grow.
