I think there are ways to just mount your home directly that has your files but I haven’t done that, not sure if it had to be setup separate from the beginning or something, I keep my files on a local nas so its easier for me to just wipe my desktop

yeah I started with popOS, used it for about a year, then tried Fedora for a week but figured if Im moving distro to get the latest and dive deeper might as well go with Arch, that lasted like two months with hyprland then decided to try bazzite and its been solid, everything I need is just there already, shortcuts working just like windows so its easy to transition from work laptop to personal, screen shots, lock, mounting network shares etc

oh yeah I only see that icon from the browser where I mostly use it, and stuff really only shows up if your instance pulls the data which is normally doesnt do for mastodon stuff, and no way to follow specific accounts so not much use anyway

the way I do it is open up lemmy on the browser and you can copy the fediverse link and paste it into mastodon to search for it, but federation is a whole thing so not everyone who sees something from their instance sees everything from every instance depending on who is federated with who, so with mastodon and lemmy it gets a little weird. Ive seen some tools that help pull more content that otherwise your instance wouldnt automatically get itself so that you can see more replies etc but I havent messed around with that

I use obsidian and excalidraw also, I didn’t realize we can put one in the other

And you can enable the fire fox sync to move all bookmarks and extensions over interchangeably which is encrypted before being uploaded to Firefox according to librewolf site or self host I think

what a great game, Im like one mission past you on the thieves quests but I just started the shivering isles last night

oh interesting Ill have to look into that! thank you

that was my thinking too, if something happened to me I dont want all my wifes passwords to be locked out so I made her an admin on the account as well to be able to continue paying for the service or export her passwords

I know amp has a plugin thing on the panel for installing but I always just used the file manager

Ive been looking at those anker solix battery systems they supposedly can be used as a ups but haven’t looked into how well and you can plug solar panels into them which was my original goal to reduce the power usage from the grid at least for part of the day

I started with my old gaming rig as a server, any decent intel cpu with quicksync is very good for plex and transcoding saving having to buy a cpu if you went with like a server grade cpu with no igpu

I would like to say leaf green just because I played it later on and the little clubhouse you could make was cool, I recently started trying to replay one of each generation like yellow, crystal, and now emerald but man I just want to power through them but you have to grind to level up and i get sleepy

I used nextcloud to replace Google drive, i was using the calendar but ended up using the protonmail one instead

I was using popos regular LTS for about a year and always worked fine, no fuss getting nvidia drivers setup or anything.

I recently moved over to arch btw and using hyprland so its been pretty rough trying to get things working like I had on pop

I have immich machine learning and ollama with openwebui

I use immich search a lot to find things like pictures of the side of the road to post on my community !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today

I almost never use the ollama though, not really sure what to do with it other than ask it dumb questions just to see what it says

I use the duckduckgo one when it auto has an answer to something I searched but its not too reliable

So now I’m curious what distro you like most? I’ve been using popos for about a year at this point then tried fedora for about a week and now installed arch to feel around

Get steam-headless running on there

I’m still pretty new to Linux so I break stuff pretty often, like recently I was trying to get opencl working with my amd gpu and I ended up causing every video I played to stutter constantly.

And I’ve been trying out new software to control fans or rgb and following guides making me enter commands until I figure out something that works I note it down so when I do a fresh install again I can easily configure it without all the trial and error etc and install only the software I found that I liked

That plus distro hopping
