Dropbox works pretty well for me, however I’m planning on building my own home server with nextcloud setup as soon as I can.

I feel a lot of the times you get better answers here if only for the community being a bit better in quality. However, way more questions have been asked and answered on Reddit.
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.
Just Reddit. You can request you data from them. For whatever reason it takes a few days (up to 30 from what they say) so I had to wait for it to come in.
I deleted my account the other day actually, once the backup was complete. I’m sure most will stay on Reddit but honest Lemmy is better off. Sure, there isn’t as much content but most of the content on Reddit isn’t really worth any one’s time anyway.
New communities are popping up all the time here and it’s great to see.
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.
No, and honestly don’t really miss it. Lemmy is fine for what I need it for. Sometimes if I search for an answer I’ll get a result that happens to be on Reddit so if that counts then so be it.
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
I think I might need to step my game up. My Mr. Coffee seems inadequate now. Beautiful set up!
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.
Debian 12
Agreed. It took me a few tries to get into Mastodon. What helped me was discovering that I could follow hashtags of topics that interest me. That opened the door to interesting people to follow.
Thank you for all the hard work and transparency as always! Everything is running perfectly knocks on wood
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.
Reddit has so many people on it it behaves like society. If you’re in a bad neighborhood (sub) you’re going to deal with bad people.
I wish I could find a TV for sale that isn’t a Smart TV. It’s not necessary and you get issues like this down the road. I’m sure it isn’t too long until the other TV manufactures do the same thing.
