Yes corrected. But I still can never remember what the correct spelling for this is, I actually thought about it. That was the one my keyboard picked with swyping so I just left it...

Wether or not that's a plus or minus depends on perspective.

Pretty sure there's also detailed videos about this on YouTube. It's been a while so u didn't have a link, but was quite interesting.

Yea, but at least it's there and still kinda working. Half the shit might be late, but you're still getting there. Which is nice.

Linux works very differently than Windows. In the majority of cases, assuming the architecture are the same (they are for you), you can just swap the drive and it'll just work. You only need to tell the BIOS to not from the drive. The only considerations would be around graphics, but even then it should come up well enough so you can install packages if needed.

Well the stuff I wrote in the comment. Not really related to any point?

I'm not sure if I should call that a bug or not: I often browse with "hide read" enabled, and I also have "mark cross posts as read" enabled. When scrolling the feed and encountering a cross post, it's correctly married as read, but apparently that happens after the step where posts are hidden, so it isn't actually hidden. Would be nice if that could be included in the hiding of posts.

... Of which it effectively still is one.

If you consider how subscribing actually works (or rather: has to work) with federated content, this isn't surprising. There could be some mechanism that uses the old community and some sort of meta-post to trigger the subscriptions to migrate, but the hard part is making that abuse-resistant. Probably too hard?

I fundamentally dislike the concept of flatpacks. It's fine and/or necessary for immutable distros, but I see little point in loading every dependency individually for every app. It's fine for an app or two, but adds up to a lot relatively quickly when used as the default system. To each their own I guess, but I'm very happy with the ecosystem of the huge, up-to-date native repo + availability of the AUR.

This is just complete and utter nonsense.

It just is a real alternative by now. Has been for a while. I have no idea why they say "getting closer".

If you want to just try it out, there nothing stopping you. Most distros allow you to just live-boot and use it without installing. It install into a 2nd boot SSD (a 30$ 128gig is fine), so you can dual boot.

I would not recommend the frequently recommended Mint though, as is somewhat outdated advice. It's good advice for people who just use a computer, but not really "power users". As a power user myself, who switched relatively recently, I am incredibly happy i went with CachyOS. While also targeted at gaming, it just works very well for any use case and being incredibly polished and honestly stable (despite being based on Arch, which is a rolling release). It's also very well setup to run Windows apps in general if the need arises. Wine and associated tools are there and available as optimized packages (with some selected patches).
