  • I think i am ready to switch from windows and need advice

    Jump

  • Yeah I agree, Mint used to be my recommendation (and it's a good choice for sure) but now I say Bazzite or Kinoite (for a newbie used to Windows) because KDE Plasma is better than Windows and the immutability adds another layer of stability.

  • Yeah Bazzite is excellent all around. It's usually what I recommend to anyone with Nvidia.

  • Mint is for sure an excellent option but I recommend Fedora Kinoite (or Bazzite) these days for someone used to Windows because their immutability makes them even more solid and harder to break.

  • Zorin is great for a grandma, but for someone who knows computers I think it's too simple.

  • Fedora Kinoite or Bazzite (which is based on Fedora Kinoite).

    Both are "immutable" which all you need to know means they are essentially impossible to meaningfully break.

    Both use the KDE interface which is very similar to Windows and very tweak-able.

    They're very similar, but Bazzite is the one to go with if you do a lot of gaming. It's basically the Steam Deck OS plus a little more. I've tested Bazzite with an Nvidia card and had no issues whatsoever and performance was nearly identical to what I was getting with Windows.

  • KDE Plasma 6.6 now available | Aurora

    Jump

  • So I actually ended up trying it out, and DistroShelf, Tailscale, OpenRazer and Solaar were not preinstalled. Not sure if I missed an option or not during install but I don't think so 🤔

    Bazarr is also on default Kinoite. So it seems the differences are relatively minor. Which is not a bad thing. Kinoite is one of the best out there IMO.

  • Which game have you been most patient for?

    Jump

  • I played it on Dolphin emulator with a 60fps patch and some HD textures. It aged really well.

    EDIT: Also a widescreen patch!

  • CupHead is coming up on ten years old and I don't think it has ever dipped below $10 on Steam.

  • What makes Aurora different than Fedora Kinoite?

  • Best option for low cost reliable solar node

    Jump

  • I have been curious about this too. Something like a thinknode looks like a simple solution.

    LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next?

    Jump

  • Depends on what "percentage of Lemmy" means, but they have probably something like 20% of active users. Most of their communities have analogues elsewhere.

    I do think that as Lemmy grows the idea of a "general purpose instance" will go away and online communities will form their own instances.

    Thanks OP!
