I still prefer *bin over Lemmy for the UI and the domain-blocking feature, even with Lemmy having post-hiding features. 🙂
Like others said in other responses, Peertube may be a good call. Iirc, there’s also a reels-type of federated platforms akin to TikTok too, but I can’t remember the name.
Unironically, Dissidia 012 for the PSP, maybe? Been some years since I last played it, but I remember that graphics seemed pretty sharp, even on a PSP screen.
Thanks! Also will try to find info on that upcoming one.
Indeed seem to be few to me too. But I wonder elsewhere, like a Japanese Piefed instance and a S. Korean Mastodon instance I found before.
Been some years since I last used Fedora, so not able to confirm nor deny anything. Sorry for not being able to help further. =/
Dunno what sort of setup you have, but what I would do, considering my setup and by being a tad on the neurotic side, is to unscrew and detatch any drives but the one to be flashed. This, I think, is the only way to be absolutely sure nothing goes in the wrong place.
If you mean different physical drives, I would suggest detatching the drive with the already installed system when installing the second one.
Also, Linux installers may behave differently from one another, so I would suggest testing on another machine if possible, or at least backing up what you cannot afford to lose in the current machine, shrinking the Windows partition with its native partition manager instead, and picking a system whose installer can spot the correct partitions, maybe e.g. Mint with its option to be installed alongside an already installed system, or Endeavour which, from what I remember, can detect empty partitions.
Also if during install, grub is not set up to have both Linux and Windows as start options, there is a grub manager on Linux too, so that can be salvaged.
And lastly, a word of warning, and reiterating a past point, testing something as big as a dual boot in a computer with sensitive and already existing data is playing with fire.
Tried flashing an USB stick and putting the system ISOs in the stick afterwards?
On not finding anything, see if OpenSuse has anything like apt-cache. On Debian-based systems, it helps a bunch, as it looks for packages (programs) containing in the name or description the keyword you are looking for. Regarding messing the installation, making back ups periodically and keeping the more volatile stuff you do not want to lose on different physical drives could help.
If you’re sticking to Firefox-based browsers, Waterfox seems to be the fork closest to Firefox without being controlled by Mozilla.
If anything can be salvaged, I’d suggest backing those up, and then proceeding to make a fully fresh install. That will ensure you don’t come across issues inherited from the previous blunders, and also, I think, will give you the chance to take the same steps, but wiser than before, and so able to avoid the issues you either caused or came across. (Also something I’d recommend maybe around every 1~2 years, precisely because of being able to restart but wiser)
I’m more biased against Google than against Microsoft, and as mentioned in another comment, the search engines are proxies of the respective companies, so it’s hard to give an objective opinion.
Now, what I would suggest, trying to be as neutral as possible, is to test both and see which fit your needs more. After that, use mainly the better one and keep the other as a fallback option.
It may be a good idea to launch the game through the terminal for troubleshooting when it doesn’t launch through the UI. More often than not on Linux, the terminal carries very useful info, of which often you can find solutions online once you spot a suspicious line. And for Steam games specifically, to not change the test environment too much, the command for starting a given game is steam steam steam://rungameid/[game_id]
, where [
is the number that appears in a given game’s page on Steam, e.g. ]211820
for Starbound, making the command steam steam://rungameid/211820
.
Maybe flashcard programs could be good? For things like Anki, I presume you could find packs for a given language, specially French, rather easily.
Even if the “grace period” (aka “offline mode”), Steam also times out without connection, and if market coverage statistics are to be believed, most people don’t seem to use services that provide DRM-free gaming. And as Steam also provides movies and series (they still do, right?), the situation is worse as barely any stores offer DRM-free videos.
(On an upside, at least musics seem to be fairly common DRM-free, including on Steam.)
Never paid much attention to that feature, but it sounds similar to microblogging, e.g. Twitter’s posting system. And given that, maybe you’d be interested in checking Mbin (has Reddit-like UI/UX), Piefed (dev says microblooggin is in the roadmap), Mastodon (Twitter-like UI/UX) and/or Misskey (also Twitter-like UI/UX)?

(edit - weird, the link isn’t appearing directly on The/Brain/Bin…)
On a more personal take, I prefer Mbin because “it just works”, I use far more RSS than the sites directly, and when I use them directly, I use an UBlock Origin filter to hide posts I either vote up or down (very responsive =D ) and block sites I recognize as manipulative (rather common sadly). That also makes so I end up not missing much on Lemmy’s functions.
I consider two things to think Peertube not being sustainable isn’t the case.
First, the noise caused bad actors / professional fearmongerers, and people too used to Youtube or that think any social medias would skyrocket in the first month of service, may make people think it’s a far more prevalent opinion.
Second, platforms such as Peertube may cather to any movements, be them cultural, political, for business, and so on, while also, due to being based on instances, it much harder to be taken over.
Those two together make me see the project as having great potential, a potential that some may fear intentionally or otherwise.
And on a side note, “the new mobile app” reminds me, anyone could potentially make programs for it, or even integrate Peertube to their own. Another reason for it being able to cather to way more people, I think, as then programs could be made to interests and needs otherwise not found.
