I found a few podcasters I listen to and looked to see who they follow. There are a lot of tech people on there.
I also follow a few sites like Hacker News.
I also follow hashtags of my city and favorite sports teams. I just used the search function to find them and also watched what was on many of the posts I like.
My feed is now more than I can realistically keep up with.
I use the Ivory app, so there is a Trending feed. Sometimes I just read it.
True. However good on you guys for stepping up to the plate and at least attempting to be there for your family member. It sucks that sometimes you aren't equipped to deal with the situation, whatever it was, but you have to look out for your own kids first here.
So? Reddit has about 10 sizeable Subs that are just a variation of “Ask Any and All Questions”. That’s not even counting speciality subs like “MedicalQuestions” or “ITQuestions” or “DermatologyQuestions” or “AskTrangender”. Or the different language ones like “FragReddit” (German). In the end 1-3 will become the major ones, all will be a bit different and everyone will find the ones they like most.
For me, if you are choosing a different instances for your alt account, always have a look at the instance’s server location info and their blocked list, just in case
I don’t know what average people could do to break their system, considering nowadays, it is practically impossible to break anything if you are using Software Management tool your Distro gave. I don’t say I don’t believe you. Something could break. But I suppose you are trying to do something that average Joes would not attempt.
I installed Linux on my coworkers, friends and families, and nothing break. Heck, I even gave my friend Arch Linux. I told them to only install thing from the Store and never touch command line without talking to me first. It’s been 6 months.
Linux for average people is been there. It’s ready. OnlyOffice is just like Ms. Office but Open Source. If you are willing to learn, LibreOffice is far better than Ms. Office. Linux supports all browser. KdenLive and Krita work better in Linux. GNOME is way easier to navigate than Windows, with superior gesture and beauty Windows could only dream of.
Windows has its perk, but saying Linux is hard is no longer true.
Once everything is set up, linux is easy. But… that installation process can still go very wrong. eg. The last install I did was Ubuntu 22.04. The version of systemd that shipped with it had a bug that caused the system not to boot. Replacing systemd with a working version fixed that issue. Then it turns out that 5 of the graphics card driver’s dependances were held back (something recent that Ubuntu does, I forget why) so the driver didnt work. Force installing the dependancies (drop to root before KDE started) fixed that.
So yeah if you set things up for someone of course its going to be easy to use. It SHOULD be easy to use after 30 years of development. But that initial setup process is often not user friendly.
I upgraded Ubuntu 20 LTS to Ubuntu 22 LTS in place and it broke everything including the Wifi drivers. Left with a black command line with no Internet, so I just wiped the drive
Are you using the driver supported by your distro? I’m not Nvidia user, but I have fair share of installing Nvidia drivers on Linux. As long as you don’t stray from driver the distro gave you, I never have problem. Literally not once.
And if you are trying to install AMD or Intel proprietary driver. Why? Just…, why?
This is simply not true in my experience. Basically everyone I know has to deal with all kinds of shit when installing Linux. Broken graphics drivers, random freezes, the touchpad disabling after closing the laptop, wifi not working, etc. There’s always something. Now I don’t mind fixing that, because I enjoy Linux more despide all of these issues. Andost of my friends manage to solve it as well because they’re programmers like me. But the average person might not be able to solve it and will feel like they’re constantly interacting with a broken system.
the hot feed is the same as reddits rising feed. its not a hot feed, its just random posts that have gotten an above average number of upvotes in the last hour. this site is next to impossible to use between the lack of a hot page and all of the niche communities not being populated thus making the front page and your subfeed the same 5 communities, and they’re all memes.
