Cheetah Mobile aren’t exactly well known for their business ethics. Partly why a lot of folks bailed.

FFS, I moved from Quickpic for the same reason and now Simple Gallery Pro.

Ugh

That and Emudeck.

The most seamless retro gaming setup I’ve used yet.

For occasional use of a Windows specific software, how feasible is it to keep a VM handy? Not too much of a drag or a bit of a hassle.

Been on the edge of turning the main OS to linux on the gaming rig.

I figure you’d pay via google pay/apple pay on mobile and FB doesn’t wanna take the loss for those fees.

This. The best distro is the one you stick with. AND you’re gonna bounce off from the first one soon enough. You might come back to it later, but just pick one and go for it.

I mean… Yo… We have the steam deck bro. And that’s going to get the linux desktop to 10% itself. And then Valve is going to re-release Steam Machines and VR 2.0. We’re definitely going to have the year of the Linux Desktop

Anecdotally, Mint broke file permissions and then the mounting points for my home server setup. And I find Cinnamon to be quite ugly imho.

I tried Fedora and Debian and much prefer those two vs Mint. Also, KDE is incredibly beautiful on the Steam Deck.

P.S. Fedora and Debian work with secure boot OOTB. Helpful for a laptop install. I know you can make it work with Arch and Mint as well, and there’s issues+opinions with secure boot, but I just wanted something to work. I am not as adept with linux and the guides assumed a particular level of experience with it.

Syncthing and Warpinator take care of 99% of my file transfer needs. They’ve become essentials.

I’ve landed in the same boat. Debian is quite usable as is. And fairly familiar when you’ve been using Ubuntu/Mint for a bit.

Well, TIL.

I thought it just hid all of them without accepting. Should’ve read thoroughly.

I’ve also been enjoying “I don’t care about cookies” extension.

This got a hearty chuckle out of me. Thank You

This may be a bit counterintuitive, but I tried Mint and it was ugly and also 21 => 21.1 upgrade tool botched my drive mounting points.

Fedora was absolutely smooth af and Debian has been absolutely lovely too.

In case either of those seem more up your alley.

I’m a fairly technically savvy person. And yet, since the drivers do not support the fingerprint sensor and the windows hello camera on my laptop. I am trucking along without.

But, not everyone is going to have the same leniency for tech they bought. Also the bluetooth is ridiculously flaky. Sure I could change the driver/software and all from CLI but the layperson is not going to be adept at that.

That was the game that totally sold me on the Steam Deck Experience. I played a lot of the handheld perfect games on the switch already.

Also, by your definition, Skyrim and Witcher 3 are also Shovelware.

Which, I want you to think hard about for maybe 1 min.

That’s called a port my dude.

Hold the GODDAMN heck up, did you just call Shovel Knight Shovelware??? b r u h

Why would they do that when they could just call it Virtua Boy 2?
