I did about 2 years ago. Dislike Microsoft decision to go against the user choice and all the bad updates and trying to make things worse. I went to Fedora after being on kubuntu for a while. I just needed something with kde 6 so wayland could work good.

So far I have not really found a good way to convice family. Instead they stay on familiar Windows 10. Will see if I have better luck after W10 ESU runs out.

I think the there are better alternatives for backup like kopia and restic. Even seafile. Want protection against ransomware, storage compression, encryption, versioning, sync upon write and block deduplication.

They just wanted the shoes to last. Make they quality. Many layers.

Apple did by releasing ARM based CPUs for desktop. This means they also change to MAC OS. Hence no longer 98% market share.

Now the future is ARM, desktop, laptop and mobile. Windows have hard time bringing over all their legacy software over to ARM. Their legacy compability is their biggest strength that they now have to get rid of or rebuild.

I think this is good. This means increased competition and that the none compatible Windows computers can keep running without going to the trash bin - better for the environment.

It is less likely to have. But software can still have bugs, big or small. The difference is just how much testing has to be done before you say it is good enough. Immutable dostros were not immune to KDE 6.0 bugs were if you upgrades from KDE 5 it completely broke. The issue were that you had to clear the cache in the users home folder for KDE. See Chris Titus YouTube channel about this were he did exactly this with Immutable distro.

And cloudstike did never happen…

I have Timeshift setup for fast and easy rollback.

Bad updates will happen to any OS. It is about if you want to update fast and having a rollback plan. There are dostros that updates more slow as they actually do their own testing and hence was not affected at all.

For me the lock screen instructions worked fine. The kernel update only broke Ghostty but a workaround fix was available the same day. I could also just have booted into the older kernel from Grub.

There are web extension that check for bookmakers that responds with 404 and automatically deletes them.

This is why you should have file history versioning on. With backup this is a most.

I was surprised to see him promoting Linux as well. People should not be shy about this.

I like they give the option!

Since I am dualbooting just to be able to check if it is a software issue or not in. Then i dont know what I would choose. Mainly use Linux. It is fun when I figure out the headset problem is a cable were the connections are 20 cm away from each other since it is hanging from the table.

The user can choose. Please note you first much accept another client by its fingerprint.

This is where the machine is hosted? I am thinking about the domain they used might be a different one. Example I would take where it is cheapest to host it.

Maybe with different servers. But then you need a good aggregation tool and seamless experience shifting between them.

They are not suppose to do that. It is disrespect to the user privacy. Hence good opportunity to change owner. Just a design flaw of the protocol that makes it possible to abuse that. Gmail is just one single provider, but yes, many more does it and Gmail is big.

PeerTube can’t store all videos. Only Youtube can handle the storage cost by using ads due to the massive amount of users. But you could still have a list of links etc. for videos. Maybe stream directly the video youtube but never be on the youtube site. This might already exist in form of FreeTube. It only misses the possibility to view PeerTube vides as well.

I don’t use Gmail. There are plenty of email providers out there that is completely free without ads and privacy focused. Mailfence, Tutanota, ProtonMail etc. Personally I use my ISP provider that is actually pro privacy - Bahnhof . That due it is a niche and if you don’t save logs you don’t have the log storage cost.

If feddit.nu (only 50 users) did not exist I would have chosen to self-host it on the free Oracle VPS teir.

I agree. Look at email servers. It just works out. Email server owners don’t look at the content. They just host the servers. Both protocols are federated.

Forums will most likely be driven by the community and volunteers. Just move everyone over to the fediverse. Then it should be easier to find such people.

Nice. The amount of Lemmy servers online are shrinking?

Do you have a graph for these numbers?
