How much of a PIA is it to install Linux on a Chromebook? I’m looking for a small laptop and Chromebooks are the perfect size.

Same here. Mandrake 8.2 was a buggy mess, but I have fond memories of it.

Serious question: What is your opinion on avoiding arguments altogether? The older I get, the less I feel like arguing.

I have been using a flip phone since 2017, but I’m considering switching to VOIP since I don’t use my phone much anyway.

Non-native speaker here. What are the disadvantages of being straightforward? In my native language, it is considered more efficient and polite to be to the point. I have worked with Americans in the past, and I have noticed that they are not straightforward.

You’re absolutely right. I come to Lemmy maybe once or twice a day. Reddit? Every hour. I really want to stop going to Reddit, but man is it hard.

I ain’t getting rid of my PSX.

I use one, but I back up my passwords once a month to an encrypted sdcard just in case.

It would be cool if communities could be grouped by instance and if we could see the latest topic for each to get an bird’s-eye view of the discussions. Local communities should appear in the first group at the top of the page. I’m not sure if it’s currently possible, but being able to tag communities would be nice and allow for better search results.

I use rtorrent and it’s pretty straightforward.

This is old school! Great guide, thank you.

FOSS has come such a long way that I don’t need proprietary software anymore for most tasks. The commercial software I use for work is ‘free’ anyway.

Anyone use Session messenger? It doesn’t need a phone number unlike Signal.

and Session!

As an old fart, I’m happy to see that Debian is still cool. All of this arch-manjaro-nix-os-awesome-bspwm-i3-xmonad-flatsnap whippersnapper stuff is over my head.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but someone wrote a TUI for Lemmy: https://github.com/mrusme/neonmodem

Someone would need to make a request on news.groups.proposals if you want it to be under the big-8. Otherwise, there is alt.*.
