Honestly the issue isn’t Reddit, it’s just people. Most people are decent to great, with a smaller group of bad to horrible. With more people on Reddit the pool of bad to horrible is bigger, and they tend to be the loudest of the bunch.

Anti-virus software is like a condom. If you don’t go sticking your computer in places it doesn’t belong you won’t really need one.
I recently realized, while dealing with some screen flickering with the most recent Nvidia drivers, that I had never used Linux without a Nvidia GPU. I’ve always had them in my computer so I always installed the driver. Lately I play mostly older games so I decided to remove the GPU and let my i9 sort out the graphics.
When I say it was a NIGHT AND DAY difference in overall quality I’m not kidding. Everything was buttery smooth and any lingering thoughts of missing Windows faded away. Honestly felt like I bought a new computer.
Now I’ve decided to sell my Nvidia GPU on eBay and either grab an AMD card or be bold and pick up an Intel Arc 750.
So in short, to echo Linus himself, fuck Nvidia.
Not to long ago I would of said Fedora but recently I’ve switched to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I’m really enjoying it. Still learning the ins and outs though.
A variety of reasons really. Privacy concerns, not having full control over my system with Windows, ads being pushed on my computer that I can’t turn off easily, Linux is more fun to use and learn about in general. Last but not least is community. The community around Linux is fun to be a part of and makes me want to learn more so I can contribute in any way I can to the projects that I like. Once you start really checking out Open Source software and what it represents it’s hard not to care about it.
With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that’s not too big of a surprise
Completely agree, and I fit all three on the list. While a lot of new users have come in recently, the fediverse isn’t as mainstream as the centralized services that everyone knows about. Also, young people will sign up for services they’re friends are on.
That culture is human. If there are going to be humans on Lemmy, then you’re going to get the exact same pros and cons.
I would say yes. For me it’s nice not having to buy random games for my kids on the Xbox that they may or may not keep playing. There’s such a large library on Game Pass for them to mess around with. For me, being able to stream games to my phone/tablet and PC has been a game changer. I usually don’t play faster paced game so the occasional signal dip (only on my phone and tablet) doesn’t bother me and I can play the same save across all devices. And if I’m being honest if I’m on a decent connection the gameplay is perfectly fine mobile.
N.O.M.A.D. This is such a great DOS game that I invested so much time in back in off and all all through the 90’s. Open world, space exploration, trading, combat, different alien races, great humor. Was such a great game that I never heard anyone talking about then or mention now. The game is abandonware now if anyone wants to give it a go.
This is pretty interesting. Might have to get my old Xbox out of the closet.
This is my daily driver tower.
I don’t use wifi however it did work out of the box. The only thing that required additional setup was the Nvidia card but the driver was available in the repos.
If you do end up testing it out on a laptop let me know how it goes. I have a Windows laptop lying around here somewhere that could use some love.
I can throw in a vote for Debian stable as well. I’ve recently installed Debian 12 and I’ve been blown away by how great it’s been compared to my recent Fedora 38 experience out of box.
So many hours spent playing this game when I was a kid.
Dropbox works pretty well for me, however I’m planning on building my own home server with nextcloud setup as soon as I can.
