Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

I understand you want people to switch to Linux but

  1. 90 weeks is far away. It drops in October 2025
  2. You’ll still get security updates for a few years
  3. After that there will be paid support which people will get around and find ways to install
  4. Windows 10 LTSC (best version of Windows IMO) still exists. The Enterprise LTSC version will have support till 2027 and the IoT version will have support till 2032. You can get them if you know how to look around
Grain9325,

Yeah I wasn’t talking about getting it the legal way. They don’t care unless you’re a business.

“Trust me guys, it’s 95% better with Proton now” lol

Some of those people need to see all the users asking for help on Linux gaming forums.

Not trying to dismiss that Linux Gaming has gotten better before Proton but it can be an absolute pain at times.

Grain9325,

That’s a separate issue. The bugs on AdBlock And AdBlock Plus extensions affect not only YouTube but other websites as well (as said by uBO dev). This isn’t on google but the extensions themselves.

uBO Dev already shared it in the twitter thread but here you go

Grain9325,

Not a complete alternative but check out Indie Wiki Buddy extension for independent wikis that are shifting away from Fandom.

mossbag on YouTube has a good video on it.

Grain9325,

And here I am anxious thinking I might offend the devs so I spend way too much time thinking what I’ve written is not rude

Grain9325,

strawberry-qt5 from AUR

Grain9325,

Yup, the AUR is a godsend. I barely touch the other methods and only use AppImages when I’m too lazy.

I mean Dolphin gives a prompt for the same thing when I launch it.

Grain9325,

X is old and works for the most part but fixing stuff or adding features is hard.

Wayland is new and is supposed to be a successor to X, do what it couldn’t do and don’t repeat the mistakes from it. It should be a drop-in replacement like pipewire but isn’t. Features take long time to develop as devs are engrossed thinking of the best solution to make it happen. A lot of proposed solutions are dismissed as well.
