  • I agree, one friend installed Debian because he saw that everyone recommended it, but he couldn’t understand how to make VirtualBox, even less when I explained the reason to him. He ended up returning to Windows because of more issues and he didn’t like troubleshooting as much as I do lol

    I’d say Linux Mint is pretty good too, Debian alone may be harder for new people who wants a system that just works out of the box.


  • I think we don’t really appreciate time until we know it ends. Unfortunately, we outlive some animals, but we get to enjoy time with them and doing everything possible to make their life better.

    I lost my dog last year, it was rough. My family wasn’t there, I had to go by myself and the vet couldn’t do more to save her, but I was there, she wasn’t alone, she never was. I always watched her, played with her, even danced with her because she was very tall. I remember the first time I saw that she couldn’t peek at the window anymore, she was getting old and fragile and she couldn’t get up, I realized that I could only give her all the love I could, but I distanced myself some days from her because I didn’t wanna suffer her loss, I was afraid of what was going to come in the next months.

    After some time, I realized I was being very selfish because I would remember all the love I had for her, but she would remember how in her last months I abandoned her, and I couldn’t let that happen. My love for her, my time with her; our time together was what make some parts of my life great! She made me feel better a lot of times and I always reciprocated.

    I think one of the points of life, at least mine, is to make other lives better, that includes to help all the animals I can, even if I’ll have to suffer when they’re gone, because they will be happy all the time they lived.



  • I only enter to reddit to check information I can’t find in other places or because of communities there. I mostly enter for KDE reports and Stellaris lol

    I have a Twitter account because my friend are there and they’ve abandoned Facebook almost completely, but I enter one in a month or so. I’ve been using Mastodon daily because I found a lot of people that also have my interests and hobbies, even in my language.

    I only enter to Discord for casual gaming with friends, like one or two times a month.

    And I’ve been trying to use PeerTube more, but a lot of content creators I like are still on YouTube, and PeerTube doesn’t have an official app yet. I’m currently using Piped and NewPipe for watching videos (I use the YT app only when I want to support some creators).




  • I constantly ran --allow-vendor-change in openSUSE Tumbleweed. I had installed extra codecs with the OPI commando and always had problems with media files, mostly in Firefox. Also, I installed Kvantum and bugged some themes, disabled Akonadi and KDE was acting weird, etc.

    Finally, I decided to delete the openSUSE partition, allocate more space (reducing Windows partition) and then reinstalling. I’m good now :)






  • Not all vegans are white people, which is very important because there are indigenous people who are vegan, Latinamerican, African and from many other places of origin, and many other non-white people who are vegan.

    It looks like you haven’t even researched about this, since many vegans in Europe have been protesting and asking to end meat and dairy subsidies.

    Please research before spreading hate towards a philosophy you don’t know anything about.



  • I think that if Linux improves and the economy/companies go the way they’re going right now, FOSS has an opportunity to grow and bring more users, if not to Linux, to the decentralized and libre software communities. But i hope it goes hand to hand, as Linux would require better hardware support as its demand increases. Btw, I also think that accessibility would improve, which is good for everyone.

    Aside from Linux, the people will, at some point, understand that a free product will worsen over time, and it’s better to invest some money or time into the services/apps they like so they don’t get enshittified. As FOSS communities grow and alternatives improve (like Godot, Blender and Mastodon), it’ll attract the curiosity of the people.






  • CoD: Black Ops 1 is a freaking masterpiece. It made me expect more from videogames and appreciate the little details. Then Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Fallout 4 were the first games that made me realize that an open world with such content was possible and the RPGs world. I know they are not massive, but I had only played in an Xbox and I had to be picky because I’m no rich. But yeah, I only have good anecdotes with those games and how impressive it was for me, mostly Fallout 4 because of secondary missions that had an impact on me, and then the other Fallouts which I’m playing in order right now and every one has its own impact, I love the franchise.

    Extra: I love R6 and it was one of my favorites of all time, then I was introduced to the enshittifcation concept without knowing it lol. I kept playing Battlefield 4 rather than returning to R6.
