My two cents - install it on virtual machine (VirtualBox is an open-spurce cross-platform software) and play with it a little.
Also, thanks to Valve the company behind Steam, gaming became very good (AFAIK, I'm not a gamer) on Linux.
On Linux, unlike Windows and MacOS, you can choose how the graphic part looks like. It's called desktop environment (DE). More than the distribution (Linux 'flavor') itself, you should check if you're comfortable with the DE.
Anyone know minimum requirements to run Ubuntu. The main flavor as well as any other you want to share. Also, suggest any other distrio for a 15 year old laptop. Thanks.
If you have more than 4GB of RAM you can install most distros. If not, I'd list my specs, especially the RAM.
Also, IMO, it's less the distro itself. It's more what DE (desktop environment) you choose. The DE is a set of preograms that responsible for the graphical part (like the taskbar, icons, settings).
The distro only help to save you the time/effort changing DE.
Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built....
You can, if the app 'allows' you to (I guess it checks a list or smth).
I tried few days ago to add some of the new instances, to check if it truly allow you to add any instance. It didn't let me to add those. Jeroba has the same problem.
I tried w/ VPN, and also w/ Tor.
If possible, to 'force' it to add an intance even if it fails to confirm it's a valid instance.
We interviewed Dr. Stallman 6 years ago for our VUC podcast (2007-2019). Unfortunately, the video isn't available as he refused to use YouTube. I know the episode is on Spotify, but it may be available on other podcatchers.
My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don't look so "safe and private" as they want you to think so it's hard to really figure it out. I don't want to spend too much since I don't use them very...

You can install LineageOS GSI (generic system image). GSI, as the name implies, is generic; it means that the OS won't know your actual model, so it'll have some little weird things, like the camera location in the UI.
New to Linux - is Pop!_OS for me?
I have no experience with Linux, but I’d like to give it a try. I’m looking at the System76 Meerkat and Thelio with the Pop!_OS option....
