If you’ve been using Linux for 20 years that makes sense, as I have a lot of applications I used on windows that are not available on linux and have no alternative in any repo or flatpak, only as weird little projects on github (that don’t work half the time). So I’ve spent a lot of time trying to replicate a resemblance of my work flow and QoL luxuries. Your work flow has been refined over that 20 years with little windows influence.

Correct! It’s where web searches bring me so it’s what I use until I git gud enough to learn how to find things better.

I do in my server! But I didn’t even consider it in terms of a workstation.

Oh cool, I’ll have to check it out! Thanks!

Close, but not quite!

Yes the world of github and linux is vast and I am like a newborn baby. I hope to visit your bubble one day my friend.

I haven’t noticed since I started exclusively using plex for all of my media except YouTube. Highly recommend.

You have Monday and Tuesday as your regular days off. I’m enjoying my honorary Friday night haha.

This is likely not the best place to get answers for this question.

I’m not saying create an echo chamber, my advice excludes engaging with people who agree and disagree, at least when it comes to large scale politics. If someone wants to get involved in politics, I think they should avoid echo chambers and engage in good discussion. But for people who just want to or need to get away from it, disengaging entirely I think is the way to go. You can still get involved in local polics without engaging in larger politics. They often have direct impacts on your community and it varies wildly between different communities.

I recommend not watching or reading the news. Spend your free time learning about hobbies or finding new ones, getting involved in local politics instead of national/global politics, improving yourself, and finding friends in communities around your hobby.

If you want some PC gaming friends that don’t talk about politics all the time, DM me. We’re in our late 20’s through 40’s.

I haven’t touched the ai feature, I’m glad its separate and not forced into search, but I’m also glad people seem to be getting good use out of it. Best of both worlds.

Same. I work and play at my computer, so I certainly get my use out of it. I wouldn’t pay for it if both my work and my hobbies weren’t both on my PC.

It depends on what you’re trying to be private from. Kagi has been good to me so far, my goal is mainly to escape from corporate/ad profile tracking.

It’s disingenuous to say there’s no point in striving for privacy if you’re not going to go completely off grid. There are always better and worse options.

I use kagi, it’s very good.

That is the wildest take I’ve ever heard. Full beards can be presentable, professional and clean. A beard goes with a suit like peanut butter goes with jelly.
