    New to Linux

    That’s the most obvious lie I’ve seen in a while. You could’ve at least made the setup look a bit worse or something so it’s possible for average users to somewhat believe it’s made by a new user. /s

      Me 2 years ago: Windows, Reddit, Twitter, Gmail

      Me now: Linux, Lemmy, Mastodon, Proton

      The pipeline is real. No programming socks so far, though.

        I never understood (still can’t) the need for Twitter. I always thought people used that platform to stalk famous people and officials (I have no idea why they started to use that platform).

        Since, they are (famous people) mostly not on mastodon, I can’t understand why people need Mastodon.

        If I need people’s opinions on anything Lemmy is there, right?

        I’m not degrading Mastodon or anything in any manner, But I’m simply curious.

          I started using Twitter mostly to follow journalists and scientists, as you say. There are actually quite a few of them on Mastodon, so it scratches that itch for me. I haven’t logged in to Twitter for about a year and a half now. I find Reddit is the harder one to quit, simply because Lemmy hasn’t quite reached that critical mass. I still use both every day. I suppose Twitter was also easier to quit because it’s mostly Nazis now.

            I think this can be easily solved, if the mods of subreddits have any idea about privacy.

            The existence of big subreddits are the reason people still sticking to reddit imo.

      Succumb to your temptations… skip dual booting and vms… nuke your Windows partition with Gentoo… you know you want to

        There are still some things you just cannot really do on Linux, although they’re getting more far and between than ever. On the audio production side of things, DAWs are slowly popping up (having Bitwig and Reaper in there is HUGE), but most VST plugins just don’t exist or work on there. VR gaming is also kind of pain…
