No kidding! I was just thinking this morning that my Mastodon feed has gone bonkers lately and it is getting harder to keep up! I suppose that is a good problem to have but I only follow a few tags. I am, however, enjoying Mastodon way more than I ever did twitter.

Congrats! I have a Galago Pro and a Gazelle that I purchased several years ago. They both work great and I am very happy with them. Love how open s76 is with all the documentation and software support. Have been considering ordering a desktop from them with an AMD GPU as a gaming machine. Enjoy the laptop!

Only problem I have had with LED lights is they stop working after maybe 6 months whereas the CF bulbs would go for years. I have CF bulbs in fixtures that have been working since before I got my first LED installed. What has your experience been? What brand of bulb are you using? I am willing to pay more for a bulb that will last.

Can you tell me how the ! Commands work? Where do I put them? Search? I am on kbin if it matters.

Same. First season was so good and the second season….I don’t even know. I didn’t bother with the rest. I didn’t even know there are 4 seasons. What a shame.

I adore XFCE, simple, functional, lightweight. What more do you need? I am currently running pop_os which defaults to Gnome and by comparison it just feels heavy and clunky. The other DE I had love for was enlightenment years ago. A purely keyboard driven DE. It was glorious.

Pop_os. I bought a system76 laptop and that is what came on it. It works well and is no fuss for me. Not a huge gnome fan but c’est la vie. Highly doubt a distro is going to center itself around something like xfce or enlightenment. I have distro hopped for years but for now I am happy with something I don’t have to tinker with all the time.

I have an LG that is a couple years old. Never connected it to the Internet and don’t intend to but have wondered about firmware updates for it. I am afraid of an update adding ads or something else I don’t want. What is your experience? Or is there a resource that details everything (and I mean everything) that the updates change?

Please forgive my ignorance. I don’t see this in the app store, how do I get it? Would LOVE a decent app for kbin! (I am a reddit/Apollo refugee if it helps)

Amazing. I clicked it and was sent here:

Which I found quite interesting. Thanks for this! I am going to click on it some more

I have been very happy with my s76 machine. Keep in mind it is a re-branded cleo, but s76 has put a lot of work into opening the hardware, and making pop work perfectly on the hardware. I have a Gazelle from about 3 years ago now, and have had no problems with it. I ended up purchasing a second laptop for my SO to use (a Galago Pro) which has also been problem free. When the time comes for me to replace this machine I will look to S76 first.

Any questions I’ll be happy to answer if I can.

Right now I use pop_os. I bought a System76 laptop so it came with it. I like it because most things just work and I am lazy. Not the biggest gnome fan though. Previous to owning this laptop I tinkered with many distros but usually leaned towards lightweight DEs like xfce.

My first disro was red hat 6.2 which wikipedia tells me was released in April 2000. I was fed up with Windows being crappy and crashing so I decided to try an alternative. Well, it didn’t crash like Windows did that is for sure but I spent a ton of time tinkering and upgrading and compiling. Linux has come a long long way since then. I have mostly stuck to it. I had a job that supplied me with a macbook for a while so for a few years I used osx, but I never fully went back to Windows. Now with proton making gaming more accessible on Linux I have no reason to ever go back.
