Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative

I first joined Lemmy back during the big Reddit exodus of last year. I like many others wanted an alternative to Reddit, and I thought that this might've been the one. I made two accounts, one on lemmy.world and another on sh.itjust.works, in the June of last year that I used on and off for about 4 months....

Exactly. On Reddit you get roasted for asking a simple question like wtf. Lemmy is the way.

Was this community banned on lemmy.world? I was trying to access some bookmarked posts and comments but they weren't there.

As stated in the title, I went to some posts and comments that I had bookmarked for some media that I was trying to download. This was on my lemmy.world account. Turns out they're gone. Doing some digging and found out this community was still up but wasn't visible on lemmy.world. what happend?

Yes. I left lemmy.world because they banned this instance. You can’t ban pirates (;

I've decided to switch to Linux Mint, but i have a lot of pirated games. How to play them with all the cracks and stuff in linux?

I have decided to switch to Linux Mint from windows. I don't use computer for work that much. And for my personal use I'm switching to Linux Mint. I have heard a lot about it. So giving it a try. I know about emulating windows in linux to play window games. But how do you use cracks and stuff?? Does emulating also access my 100%...

Lutris is what you need. I have recently migrated from windows to Bazzite OS. Most of the games I play work flawlessly. I was dual-booting, but eventually got rid of windows. It’s a waste of space, time, and energy

It happened to me as well. To resolve it, go to Administration > Jobs and apply them all available options. I had multiple issues, including this one, but resetting it from the Jobs page fixed it for me.

Another thing I was doing was to keep spamming the cancel button.

Wish it worked like that. In Israeli society from very young age, you’re taught you hate Palestinians, as if they’re brainwashed.

Initially, I heard about Bazzite OS here on Lemmy; I was tempted to try it out. As someone who loves FOSS, I always wanted to move to Linux. However, I do gaming occasionally, holding me back until I discovered Bazzite OS.

  • Work: I need to learn Linux to be a penetration tester.
  • Customisation: I Love customisation, only Windows (I still have it installed on my other drive; it’s fully customised with zero bloatware). Currently following this tutorial to customise my OS. However, I can’t find anything similar to Latte-Dock. I have tried Plank and Cairo Dock. They’re buggy.
  • Apps: I’m looking for alternatives to ShareX, Fan controller, Flow launcher any other helpful tool similar to them. I have been exploring for the last 2/3 days, but I couldn’t find any app that comes even closer to ShareX (I mainly use video recording, OCR, Image capture and GIF maker features), I’m currently trying FlameShot.

Thank you I will definitely check it out.

Cheers. I do watch his videos + TechHut and The Linux Cast.

I have been struggling big time when it comes to cli commands. 😂 I needed this.

Thank you (: Mental Outlaw is one of my favourite YouTubers. He’s the reason I learned about FOSS, Digital privacy. Then, I discovered useful websites such as Privacy Guides.

From what I have read, Latte-Dock is no longer being maintained.

I couldn’t get it working even after installing so went the plamsa kde panel route

I feel like third-party docks are not correctly implemented. A plasma panel is what you should be using. Thanks (: That was my first-ever try, by the way. I can’t make the background transparent despite selecting the transparent option.

Voyager is the way. Only downside is that there is no notifications feature implemented yet.

Better tab management, workspaces and split-screen

What’s funny is how media and Zionists call Jews antisemitic.

land ,
@land@lemmy.ml avatar

Educate yourself. The kids your united terrorist state of Israel is killing are becoming Hamas. Hamas didn’t fall from the sky to kill Jews. Palestinians are Muslim, Christians and Jews. But you don’t care about Palestinian Jews because they’re not white; they’re Arab.

It's all in one open source capturing tool:

• Capture full-screen, active window, specific regions, and more.

• Record your screen with or without audio, and save as video or GIF.

• Upload images, text, or other types of files to over 80 supported destinations.

• Includes a colour picker, image editor, ruler, and more.

• Add text, arrows, shapes, and blur parts of your captures.

• Automate repetitive tasks with custom workflows and hotkeys.

Flameshot + Xsnip = ShareX and more

Thank you for this.

Not even close. Flameshot is like a newborn baby of Sharex.

@land@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s not compatible with Linux :/

Please do an update later on. I also want to try out Linux gaming. Gaming is the reason I keep going back to Windows.

land ,
@land@lemmy.ml avatar

I hear you. So far I’ve tried:

  • Ubuntu
  • Pop Os
  • Manjaro
  • Garuda

I had a terrible experience with popOS, manjaro and Garuda. But it was back in 2020. Some of the issues you’ve mentioned and + a few more. I couldn’t use them as my daily driver. I’m using Nvidia. GPU had too many issues and lags. (I’m gonna dual boot to see how it goes).

After watching Chris Titus’s Linux tier video, I’m interested in trying:

  • Kubuntu
  • Nobara (sceptical about it)
  • mint

I like the look of Fedora Plasma KDE (I wonder if you could get that look on the ones I have mentioned)

Thanks for your reply. Bazzite looks amazing. BTW the tier chart is 9 months old. I will check out Bazzite.

@land@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for the update. When it comes to dual monitors, I’m in the same spot. Reading through the comment section, I found that Bazzite OS is what might suit me. As for the environment, I was going for KDE; however, after reading your update, I’m sceptical about it.

So yesterday, I tried Bazzite os, and it’s pretty good. Works perfectly with Nvidia GPU. You have to use x11 instead of Wayland. So far, I’ve tested BF1 and Hell Diver 2. Experience is excellent, with no lag whatsoever. It’s the first time I’m giving Linux a proper shot. However, I will need some advice on optimising it. For example, fan control or any other tips/tricks I can get.

(I had app flickering issues, and changing to x11 fixed it)

Dual monitors are working perfectly with 165Ghz refresh rate.

Today, for the first time, I had 30-second ads on my smart TV like wtf. Is that even legal

Sorry for the typos. 30 second ads

Israel aimed to spark a regional conflict to avoid facing genocide allegations. However, Iran didn't buy into their PR tactics.
