In a world where nothing seems to work anymore, especially anything related to tech and/or customer service, getting on my laptop running Linux Mint just feels like a breath of fresh air. And that goes for just about any distro. It's nice to have something that works as it should and doesn't seem to go out of its way to cause...
I was into Linux back then when Valve launched TF2 for Linux (this was in 2013) in the end I broke Linux Mint (I don't know how but it stopped loading) so I said Fuck it and returned to Windows, after all I wanted to play all games, not only TF2
Recently I wanted to return to Linux since gaming is finally a thing and I had to constantly fix stuff...
-First of all If I changed between windows and linux, the motherboard clock was constantly changing. I had to fix it
-KeepassXC (the browser extension) could not connect with KeepassXC for some reason their windows counterparts worked flawlessly
-KDE somehow look uglier and less customizable than the KDE from 10 years ago
-The system tray kinda sucks
-Having the programs to run at system start up does not always works by changing the settings (you have to put a shortcut in a special folder)
-I never managed to make KDE connect to work properly(I connected my phone and Linux, but I never managed to receive the phone notifications on the PC)
-The OS was asking me to restart after every boot almost daily because it got updated (back then Linux asking for a reboot was a rare sight)
-and the cherry on top, one day the software stopped working and I did nothing weird. I could not use KeepassXC, nor steam, nor blender, etc... I asked for help first here and then on the official OS forums and nobody could find a fix other than "delete everything and reinstall the OS". Is something I could do, but is a pain in the ass. I'll have to fix everything that I already fixed again, I'll start receiving security emails because someone logged into my accounts (yeah, me, from linux), I'll have to configure everything again, etc...
I'll like to get rid of windows for ever, but is not easy
Yeah, is the OS I installed this time. Mint did not did that, at least 10 years ago, but I wanted to try a different distro.
So, is not a trend for all distros? Maybe I'll try a different one next time. I want to stay as close to Arch as possible (but I'm scared of Arch itself) because SteamOS is based on Arch so maybe I'll install Manjaro next
I can't comment on the 'cherry on top' one without more details.
I still have it installed (I'm pissed/frustrated and still have not made the reinstall), I check from time to time if an update fix it, but no luck to this day
I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?

Also, are you on a laptop that uses integrated graphics?
No, it's a normal desktop PC
I'm seeing that Endeavour lets you choose which desktop environment you run, try switching to another desktop environment like Gnome or Cinnamon.
It let's you choose which desktop install during the OS installation. If you install multiple desktops enviroments you can choose which one to run with most distros, is not a special feature of EndeavourOS or anything, most distros, if not all, can do it
News and updates from specific companies/projects/people
So let's say I'm interested in tech. I got my news and updates from tech oriented websites/blogs, with the added benefits of tutorials and other articles also posted there, why would I want to use twitter?
I'm a bit confused about if I needed a new account here or I could of used my mastodon account? Can we browse lemmy through mastodon and post? Can we see mastodon posts here?
on mastodon you can follow people from lemmy and kbin, yes
in the searchbox on mastodon search this:
@coremeltfx
and you will find your kbin user with the replies and content you wrote. but since mastodon and kbin are different it will not work properly (for example following kbin magazines in mastodon won't show the content on those magazines)
But since kbin and lemmy have the same purpose their interoperability is good
Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable....

I realized why I enjoy Linux so much and why I've stuck with it all these years (slight vent)... ( kbin.social )

Is there an r/all equivalent?

lets advertise lemmy on r/place ( feddit.de )
I suggest replacing a fuckspez with “join-lemmy.org”, for anyone still having the redditapp
How does Kbin / Lemmy connect to the rest of the fediverse? ( kbin.social )
