Federated communities have been a challenge to me, because I've usually been a passive consumer, never really contributing.

I am trying to comment much more and hopefully post, because I want to help contribute the type of content that I want to see!

My wife adamantly refused to get a Steam Deck for herself, saying that she would never give up her Switch.

Cut to one year out from buying one for her, and the Switch has been in a bin almost the entire time.

Most of these bikes can go 20 mph+, with many able to do 30mph+ in "off road mode". For someone that lives in a smaller city that doesn't require freeway use, these are a fantastic way to save money on transport.

Lemmy seems a lot less toxic than Reddit. Every now and then I see comments here of people that are assholes, but its not the norm. Whenever I would check the comment feeds in Reddit, so many of them devolve into petty bickering. It seemed like a quarter of the user base set out that day to either be pissed off, or to piss someone else off.

This is awesome! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Linux implementation of Proton Drive next!

Cool feature, I wonder if a duress fingerprint will be introduced in the future?

Just dusted off my Boosted Board for my first ride of the summer!

I'm in the same boat as you. I tried running Bazzite a while back. Most of my Linux experience has been with Pop!_OS, and gaming didn't seem easier than what I was used so, because Pop is already ridiculously easy to run. I'd love to know what I'm missing.

I was really intrigued by the phone mask offering, but you are limited to 75 texts a month, and 50 minutes of talk time. Given other limitations of the service, I think it's a far better deal to just get a fully pledged phone plan from someone like Mint mobile.

The Proton Drive app can automatically sync pictures from your phone. The Proton ecosystem as a whole is a good alternative to Google's.

You mean base-10? My totally unrealistic pipe dream would be to have the world switch to base-12.

You're not wrong, but like the duress pin, it would be a nice feature to have. Not everyone would have to set a duress fingerprint, just the people who find value in it.

The upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS has the exact feature you're describing.

Although its marketed to both Linux and Windows users, you can really tell the attention and care that went into making this a Linux friendly machine.

My only wish is that their keyboards didn't have the Windows logo for the Super key. Because of that (and partially because I like a Colemak layout better), I ended up going with the blank keycaps.

This looks amazing!! I've been too timid to mod mine, but this might convince me...

This might be wishful thinking, but I've been so excited to how Project Virgo turns out. An in-house design from System76 would be amazing, and I hope more info is released soon.

Pop is great for gaming, especially for Nvidia cards.

KOReader is a pretty decent ereader option, it matches what I put on my Kobo.

I really hope the visibility created by being ported to other distros will allow for more applet development.

I've found that the Proton apps do a decent job of replacing Google's suite of apps like Drive, Mail and Calendar.
