I’m partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I’ve found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess
I’m happy with Wayland
Chrome OS.
Go big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you’re already pulling away from M$
Aside from the backdoor (which is a moot point when talking about zstd anyway), there are a number of other very good reasons to use ZSTD.
Yes, it works on Wayland. I’d also give GNOME’s Console a shot.
Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I’d be a fan of defederating, tbh
Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages
Ignoring the fact that the body of this post is very likely LLM-generated, this does seem pretty cool.
Stopping software mainly used for piracy has equated to the inability to do what you like with what you rightfully purchase

Mostly positive. My encoding utility Aviator can be shipped with a custom community-backed SVT-AV1 fork in the background without anyone noticing any issues like they would if I linked to system SVT-AV1. Flatpak makes this kind of thing easy, and users don’t have to think about it.
As an Android user, Android phones with Google Play Services are no better - in fact I’d say they’re probably worse
Just yesterday I overwrote some pacnew files and borked user authentication for myself. Very rough time
I agree with this the most. People obsess over the start menu paradigm simply because they like it in Windows. I desire more open mindedness when it comes to looking into alternative ways to interact with your computer, so I align with GNOME.
“Anything immutable” is bold. Any bad experiences, personally? I don’t think they’ve negatively impacted the desktop Linux landscape as a whole…
This is a balanced take in my opinion. Also an Arch user. Distrobox has helped remedy things somewhat.
I don’t know if Lemmy is the best place to ask, lol
It sounds like it is time to defederate. We’ll miss the instance but we understand why it must be done
I have customized ZSH to be very similar to Fish
