What did you expect? You should not assume that Linux works like Windows or whatever OS you previously were using. They work very differently.

It also depends on which DE you are using. Since you’re using Mint with Mate, which is not really something that provides customization GUIs out of the box and as popular as something like GNOME or KDE Plasma. I suggest you try KDE Plasma as it is known to be very customizable and one of the more used DEs. I don’t know about cursor trails, but you can change your cursor by installing cursor skins from the page in the settings or make your own skins to get the color you want. It’s really simple.

You’ll also need to get over your fear of the terminal if you’re going to use Linux. I’m not telling you to use terminal for everything, but some types of customization requires you to use the terminal and it is a good thing to know anyway.

Those rules only apply to LW communities.

Did you read the criticism from about 20 years ago?

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/98932-faq-affinity-on-linux/

They didn’t say they never will. They don’t have plans for it, but they won’t rule it out. (Unless the FAQ is outdated and they said they never will somewhere else)

We won’t rule out making a Linux version of Affinity in the future if the right Linux distro comes along with a reliable deployment platform that will allow us to recoup our development cost for the Linux version.

I guess they could use Flatpaks here if they don’t want to deal with packaging it for every distro.

Use the native community tagging syntax btw:

This is instance agnostic.

Great. Make sure to post it in:

Any errors? Can you tell us what you input into the fields when creating a new community? Did you try another frontend (Photon, Tesseract, etc.)?

Oh and also, do not input any emojis into the community name field. That can’t contain such things, only a subset of ASCII afaik. The display name can contain them.

If you really won’t do much other than gaming, check Bazzite and Nobara out. You can turn your PC into a gaming console with Bazzite btw.

And check the ProtonDB to see if your game will even run on Linux: https://www.protondb.com/explore

There was one a few weeks ago.

That is most likely Lemmy Federate at work. Since Lemmy does not automatically federate the communities to other instances, someone from your instance needs to subscribe to that community for your instance to start receiving new content for that community. Lemmy Federate basically does that for registered instances. The community’s instance probably has the auto add feature enabled in Lemmy Federate, which is why it got 50 members in a few minutes of the community’s creation.

Sure. Anything to help with the decentralization is good.

Though you probably won’t be able to get every single subscriber to move to the new community.

TL;DR?

Meh. I think we don’t really need one. People need to realize that federation isn’t always the solution. We’re fine with OSM.

That isn’t exactly a discord clone, though. More like WhatsApp but federated. At that point I’d actually just rather use matrix than a messaging app by that cocky dev.

No ActivityPub federated one yet. Someone might make it someday though.

I keep switching between using Summit (recently went open source), Thunder, Jerboa and the Tesseract web UI. But mostly Jerboa. It opens the fastest. The nicest looking one is Thunder.

Create a new partition where those folders are stored and encrypt the partition with LUKS.
