I’m sure I’ve tried a bunch over the years those are just the two that I’ve actively used the past couple years.

I used to work for Chromebook Retail and I have a bunch of EOL devices around. Tumbleweed has been the most stable in my experience followed by Endeavor OS.

If you don’t want to mess with the surface kernel, I’ve had 100 percent compatibility with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. No different kernel required on all 5 of my surface devices.

For kids stuff I found stremio and torrentio to be easy if a bit convoluted to set up.

Ubuntu is Debian with extra steps.

Did you set up recurring searches for new episodes? Idk what it is set to be default but you have to set each show to do episode searches at a given interval.

Honestly I use Google family link. I know people on here are against Google but it just makes monitoring the kids easier.

I got my kid a rugged smart phone. It’s pretty locked down and whatnot because he’s young but unfortunately there’s no way I’m going to send him to Public school without a phone, just in case.

Yeah but have you tried actually playing the PS4 version on a PS5. It hurts to look at that frame rate.

I have the same configuration running on all my devices, my kids and my wife’s too, it’s wonderful.

Garuda is great. It did get me addicted to the fish shell though and I’ve since moved back to windows for work reasons and I hate everything now.

I personally use fluent reader on my PC and phone. It’s the best one I’ve found so far.

Lol yeah I’m dumb and tired

Gnome. I’m a Mac refugee from a decade ago. I’ve been using gnome with dash2dock and dash2panel together to make a sudo Mac os.

Publishers and corpos are ruining games. Not developers.

As long as a gnome spin stays maintained. I’ve been using gnome for 8 years and I really don’t want to switch distros again.

I truly don’t have a problem with ads being in a free service. My anger will be based on how annoying they are when they roll out.

More people need to operate like Linus Torvalds. Call people on their shit. Respectfully of course.

I love a good personal library as a background for my video calls but honestly I do digital books cause I don’t have room.

Nextcloud is technically a solid product if your goal is to replace all the Google services. Personally I think it’s too heavy and I’ve had issues with using it vs using specialized apps for each service I’m replacing.
