Just like migrating from Reddit to Lemmy it's the same as migrating from Windows to Linux, there's shortcomings and learning curve and the more I use Lemmy the more I hate about Windows, because unlike reddit Lemmy is open source and open source softwares communities is more popular than proprietary communities and people like to shit on them (and I loved it). (Sorry for horrible English)

Yeah! Good on you. All these big tech companies are getting worse and worse.

At the risk of starting a fight in the comments, what distro did you choose?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I started with Fedora and ended up switched to Arch btw and that's what I'm using

You must say "BTW" at the end of the sentence. Please read the manual.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Haha sorry Imma correct that now

Not OP, but I went with PopOS. I'd used it in a VM for a few years, so I decided to install it when I finally decided to make the switch after Microsoft decided to reveal that dystopian "record everything on your screen, coming to a PC near you soon" bullshit.

Yeah, that is either going to get me to Linux or at least Mac depending on one of my work apps.

(I can’t use alternatives or wine to run it.)
