It doesn’t make it less of a crime against good design. Low contrast for reading is bad practice.

It’s really not primed for development. I’d use Arch, Fedora, openSUSE or Debian for that.

Being opt-out instead of opt-in is icky. I don’t have much faith in RedHat related projects after the recent debacles (RHEL trying to kill off Alma and Rocky and Fedora’s project manager being fired with no replacement).

As a Fedora user, I’m really tired of being disappointed. Gonna wait for my vacation to switch to Debian.

“Boo hoo tankies bad, but big corpo run by billionaires who spread misinformation and intentionally act to topple legitimate governments in favor of their fascist agenda are akshually good”

Arguing with people like you (corporate shill) is a waste of time, so I’d rather have fun instead.

Gaming through Steam/Proton is easy and performant, but some games have invasive anti-cheat that won’t work on Linux, and some game companies turn Linux support purposely off.

Photoshop and Lightroom both probably work through Wine (or maybe even Proton), but it isn’t guaranteed. Best option is to work with alternatives. I switched from PS to Krita years ago and have been happier than ever with the switch.

There are many resources on Linux software that are alternatives (and often compatible with) windows-only software.

Mint is right there. Very foolproof as far as I’ve tested with family and friends.

Best channel I discovered this year. He’s based.

You kind Sir/Lady/Gentleperson are making the fediverse a better place with this help. Thanks a bunch, gonna definitely ease my attempts at eventually self-hosting!

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I’m still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.

Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I’ve already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters
