What’s keeping me from switching is that I switched about 12 years ago.

They said that their viewer was tested and designed to function mostly with Ubuntu and while it could work with other distros, it’s not to be expected to be smooth.

I can’t vouch for this particular software but from my experience with using Mint full time for the last 6 or so years is that regarding troubleshooting software, if a fix works on Ubuntu, it will more than likely work on Mint.

I don’t think regular Arch is the best for new Linux users at all but their are a few Arch based distros with graphical installers.

I’d you are trfh savvy, the Arch install process should be ok though.

Of the 2 you suggested, u would go with Kubuntu. KDE is a very popular desktop environment and Ubuntu is solid. I’ve moved distros quite a bit but always go back to Ubuntu-based. I’ve been on Mint for the last 6 or so years.

Looks like Z-library is also up: https://open-slum.org/

I make websites. Depending on what you are after I might be able to help too.

Only against the ruling class.

I don’t know what the fuck that means but if the Dems actually wanted to win, they’d run an actual candidate instead of a girlboss genocider cop.

This reads like you are at the “scratch a lib” phase.

It’s time to start working on dual power structures in your respective city.

If the US doesn’t fuck up it’s own demise and just dies peacefully, I can see that being the case.

But I think China would use their new powers to help lift other countries up instead of continuing to use the global south as a giant slave plantation like the US is doing.

I was part of the reddit exodus over the 3rd party app bullshit. I saw a post from one of the bigger servers bitching about how you shouldn’t join lemmygrad or Hexbear because they are full of tankies so I made a Lemmygrad account. After Hexbear refederated I added a few of their comms and realized I jive more with their community than with Lemmygrad so I made a HB account and added a bunch of my old Lemmygrad comms to that.

I wish the hobby comms were more active. That’s really the only reason I still have my reddit account.

That’s my secret, I’m always deeply depressed and cynical.

1. Mostly movies from yts . mx, and movies and tv shows from watchsomuch . to.
2. Mostly for convenience and I think information should be free. I cam back to the high seas after they decided to have 4,758 different streaming services and kind of hate exclusive as an excuse to get you to pay for one service over another.
3. I have a dedicated 6TB hard drive(wish I would have paid a bit extra for an 8 or 10 though). I also used it for rsync back ups but that’s it.
4. I switch back and forth between Jellyfin and Plex. Jellyfin is a bit fiddly but open, Plex “just work” but is closed source. I try to use free software as much as I can.
5. Both JF and Plex will keep track, but I’ve had issues with JF if a movie or show doesn’t want to run(I think it’s a transcoding issue) sometimes I lose progress of my most recent watched stuff. Kind of sucks. I’ve had more issues with JF than with Plex which sucks.

I just told some discord friends about it and now they are screeching about Tienanmen Square and such. Whoops.

I’m gonna be doing the impossible and try to set up a PSL branch deep in Christo-fascist Trumpland.

It’s gonna be pure American Fascism. Our leaders wrote the fucking book.

I have a 3d printed fidget slider and a custom-made worry stone I almost never leave the house without.

Candy

I drink trash wine and love carbs anyway so I’m going with Jesus.

I settled on Cinnamon after jumping around a bit. I do still like Gnome though even if both are fairly bulky DEs.
