OscarRobin,
  1. Ubuntu wants to own snap, with their own proprietary store etc which runs against alternatives like Flatpak and goes against the FOS ethos
  2. Snap is slower and worse than Flatpak (the most popular alternative) in most ways, with very few pros that will likely be caught-up-to soon too
OscarRobin,

I’m 120hr in and honestly still love it. I still do wish there was a lot more variance in music though for sure.

OscarRobin,

Linux Mint is definitely the closest interface- and vibes-wise to XP imo, of the big distros worth considering

OscarRobin,

Well they look farrr better than coal mines and plants and smoke plumes. Even beyond that I think they just look plain nice though, like when I rarely get to see some it makes me happy.

Looking for Notes App for Android & Linux

I am trying to slowly de-Google-ify myself by moving to open source apps, I wanna ditch google notes and evernote. I tried obsidian, standard notes, and joplin, I liked using obsidian on PC and standard notes looks nice on android but obsidian you need to pay to have sync and standard notes doesn’t do markdown unless you pay...

OscarRobin,

80hr in and literally just started Act 2 lmao

OscarRobin,

Would be goated if everyone just switched to the Signal protocol and interop was mandated, but that’ll never happen unfortunately.

OscarRobin,

Signal is a means for message encryption, and if every platform used it and then were mandated to interop, they’d have to figure out how to do the actual transfer, yes. RCS is basically this except nerfed and partially Google-owned which is shit.

OscarRobin,

Matrix is more of a Discord alternative than a Whatsapp alternative though unless I’m mistaken?

OscarRobin,

The limited benchmarks I’ve seen put the new X Elite at slightly less efficient than the M2 Pro (let alone M3 Pro). It only gets marginally higher scores when operating at 3x the wattage.

Also, let’s not imagine even for a second that notoriously terrible ARM are going to make it easy to support this chip, especially not in the long term.

OscarRobin,

I’d recommend watching Josh Strife Heyes videos on MMOs, but if you want an overview, the biggest ones are WoW, FFXIV, and Guild Wars 2. I’d recommend the latter.

OscarRobin,

I love Fedora but definitely Mint for a normie. Even then I question if you should install Linux at all since reliably being able to do what you need to do is priority one, especially for a student, and if he may be blocked in his work as a result I don’t think it’s a great idea.
