Maybe EndeavourOS (a convenient installer for Arch) with a desktop that supports Wayland.
I run that with Gnome in Wayland mode on my desktop and with Sway (Wayland equivalent of i3) on my laptop and I’ve been very happy with that. You could also run KDE if you prefer
I use DNS66 downloaded from F-Droid. It registers itself as a VPN, but it’s actually a DNS filter, not a VPN. It works to filter ads on most apps, and you can individually disable it for specific apps if needed.
I also use the Firefox app, which supports a few add-ons (much less than the desktop version), including uBlock and some similar options
I’d recommend one or both. They’re working great for me on a non-rooted Pixel 4a 5G
Same. A lot of science and history YouTubers post there. And there’s a lot of early releases and exclusives like Real Engineering’s amazing D-day series. Pretty inexpensive and totally worth it
I think most distros will work just fine. It’s gotten so so much easier since Valve invested in Proton to make the Steam Deck work.
Personally, I’m on EndeavourOS with Gnome and it works fine for all my Steam games on an AMD GPU. Years ago, I was on Linux Mint, and that worked just fine for gaming too.
One caveat: if you have an Nvidia GPU, driver support can sometimes be a headache (or at least it was several years ago when I had one). Some distros claim better out of the box support for Nvidia, like Pop OS
Hard to believe that got us to the moon
Yeah, I wonder what the cost breakdown is for transcoding, storage, streaming, etc.
I’m reading their FAQ here, but I’m still not sure how the money and hosting side works yet https://help.odysee.tv/category-basics/whatisodysee/
Edit: looks like it’s at least partially open source, maybe fully. It’s centrally-hosted and funded by ads, premium subscriptions, and some sort of crypto scheme that can boost a video’s discoverability. I’ve actually heard of some of the creators though (unlike PeerTube), so that’s interesting
Yeah, good point. The others are mainly hosting text and some images
Speaking of, got any good peertube channels? Tbh, I’m more familiar with nebula and floatplane - where YT creators made their own platform. Maybe that’s where things are headed
According to this you can even follow a peertube channel from Lemmy, though I haven’t been able to get that to work from either side. Curious if anyone else has?
Named Turkey. Eats veggies. Hmmm…
