Same: just built a frankenstein PC of spare parts gathered with the purpose of running Debian 13 on it because that’s what I love. But I also recognise that I know my way around stuff when I need to troubleshoot…

Watching the video, the main reason is native up-to-date drivers, mostly for nvidia

Debian is like retirement on a nice house in the countryside: it’s a predictable life of peace and comfort

Is anyone working at a FOSS and federated alternative to pornhub?

As a concept it’s something I find really cool but as of now I think something like PeerTube is better if you have to self host and easier to be moderated by a community

I’m all aboard with new communities and new infrastructures, the more projects the best is for the whole structure.

That said, if your advertisement strategy is “we’re not Lemmy”, then no thanks. Everyone can do that.
Be more proactive, do something Lemmy doesn’t, and then we’ll talk about it.

• Awesome Tiles because I find it simpler than other tiling managers
• Caffeine to keep my laptop awake when I need it
• Clipboard Indicator for easy clipboard history access

For anything else I’m fine with Gnome’s basic workflow

We reached the peak of technology, from now on it’s all gonna be downwards

Were you thinking about Avril under the shower?

Debian-head here, daily driving it for the last 5 years. I distrohopped a lot before but Debian made me stay, mainly because of its stability and the fact that it’s community driven.
It’s getting harder everyday making your needs fit your ethics, but this is one of the few cases and it makes me feel good with my choices.

Yeah flatpak won’t work on my Nokia 3310 either, what a shit software…

I’d say Gnome, since I’m so used to it that I feel it doesn’t get in the way of the things I’m doing.
Because that would be my aim: something that doesn’t interfere with the work I am doing.

If you need a FOSS, cross platform GUI for bootable USB sticks, Raspberry Pi Imager is a really good solution.
It is mainly used to flash SD cards for RPIs, but also you can burn any ISO on any support with it.

I could say, “If you aren’t addicted, then just quit.”

Did anyone actually tell you that 1 beer a week is too much? Because it’s not a real case scenario in my mind.
And even if they really did it’s probably their own problem, and you don’t really have to defend yourself for doing that.
In any other case, if a person tells you “hey, tone it down with the booze” you probably should.

Since less techy people tend to use more the mouse/touchpad anyways, I would pick a hard-to-mess-with desktop environment like Cinnamon or Gnome. With KDE, XFCE and such you can screw panels really easily if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Slap Debian under it and there you go

If you are in a position where you need to defend your booze consumpion, you’re probably an alcoholic.

Welcome to the team.
I hope you brought your bouncing shoes because as soon as you’ll get comfortable, you’ll start hopping a lot

Well Aaron didn’t deepthroat a mushroom-shaped presidential cock to ask for pardon

I read your comment in my head with the voice of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and made me laugh
