@tk @tk Don't use Tusky. Last I heard, they violate free software license by hardcoding a gab blacklist. It's also focused on serving matsoc users, instead of pleroma instances. I've heard Fedilab is better, but I only use web view when mobile
@Rasp @georgia @mewmew @mouhuai2013 most instances that block FSE are also dumpster fires. Probably all of them.

Joe Biden is going to win over every voter by fighting them. What a fucking idiot. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten punched in the face yet.

@alyx @nerdman @igeljaeger @terryenglish I'm just unhappy with the distributionscape overall at this point. The taint of corporate need and the non-technological ideological fights seem to have a lot of collateral damage for those of us who just want a fun andflexible operating system

That I do. Sometimes too much. But that's a story for another day.

@igeljaeger uses Pop OS for games, and it's Ubuntu based, so it might be more comfortable for you. I currently use Manjaro, which is like Arch for n00bs and I'm the happiest I've ever been with Linux.
@surasanji it's a mystery we invertebrates may never know...

Windows is just weird. I FINALLY chased down something that was causing some processes to from using about 1Mb RAM to over 200, causing my shit to crash or me to reboot.

With Linux I N E V ER boot. Ever. Unless there's a blackout.
@terryenglish @alyx

The only reason I haven't done it yet is because games. This new computer I'm putting in a Linux.

I mean I've been using Linux since like 95, but the main desktop is always been windows, pretty much for games.

Is there a preferred distro for retards? I used Ubuntu a lot but I think that's fallen out of favor these days.
