Now ppl are gonna think I switched because of this start indian hate mf

Hyprland is technically more customizable, id check out the preconfigs, its more annoying to customize but some of those preconfigs have a lot of different options to start off

No added extensions, just default, id go with plasma, with extensions right now daily use Gnome (but without extensions its bland af, it really needs them and I wish it had more)

Gnome by default isn’t customizable, you have to install and turn extensions on, but its as simple as toggling on chrome addons, you goto the extension store and grab what you want, the store could be better usability wise, hate the ui, flathub is like the only usable ui for a store on linux, insane how its all stuck 20 years backwards. (tho I kinda like it lol)

I think gnome just feels good and is the most usable, but thats because I feel the constant need to tinker with plasma, while with gnome I just set my extensions on, tweak them a little maybe once if they have settings and don’t think about it again. It only takes a few to get gnome feeling personalized and it just works well. Plasma feels better swapping from windows, but gnome feels more like a different modern os on par with windows/mac but more minimalist.

I wish plasma was slightly less buggy, anytime I mess with a panel I have to clone a backup just in case it tweaks out and I need to delete it.

Just swapped to linux and flathub has an app for reposting reddit images to lemmy “reddy”

Runtipi plus any vps, easy to setup and has gotosocial (stays more up to date) , or yunohost is easier with more options

I got into webhosting rabbithole like a month ago if it isnt obvious, those are the best deals ive found, hetzner, 5$ a month, pay by the hour, is my favorite for testing stuff for cheap if you remember to delete it, invoiced 3rd of the month

or free oracle vps , domain is around 12$ a year but porkbun has most domains for half off first year or less, .ing is half off, .buzz is like 1$

The annual deals good for just not worrying about paying for it and forgetting about it sometimes

racknerd 60$ a year 3core 6gb ram can run a lot, littlecreekhosting 3.50 a month 4core 8gb or 7 amonth 8core 16 (you gotta comment on their post on low end talk for littlecreek or you get half ram)

Its no fun, vps are cheap, you can get racknerd 60$ a year 3 core 6gb, run pleroma or sharkey, slightly funner, or friendica/lemmy, most things are more fun to host but you could prob run goto social on a 12$ year vps to be fair

Daima dubs getting entertaining, solo levelings alright (better than webtoon), mythic quests last episode was mid, I forget the rest right now

If you want lemmy instances to be better off reduce the load, make your own or join a less popular one, joining a bigger one isn’t a good thing (im a hypocrite, im on lemmee)

Lot of terrible ideas here, if any of them are implemented lemmy loses a lot if value, donation model works, if a server cant survive itll shutdown and well end up in a better situation since the whole point was to not have centralized servers. Mfs talking about adding ads when this platform barely provides value lol. Like are you serious, at least most platforms with ads developed their own platform and arent just launching someone elses work on a server

Thats prettt much all of what I needed to know, I see why they’re reccomended.

I overcomplicated mine before going back to the simple look, even abusively adding stuff it feels less crowded than windows

Yeah I dont think hyprland will become a mainstay for me, but I will be copying that super plus shortcut way of working over to the other DEs, im just not productive 24/7 (nor do I want to be) so fully commiting to a tiling manager doesnt make sense

Universal BlueAurora KDE, or bluefin gnome are what id prob reccomend to any non gamers trying to use Linux after looking around, bazzite for gamers who dont want to tinker, cachyos for those who do. Seems like a straightforward way to get up and running, cachyos was hella easy to dualboot tho, universal blue doesnt seem to let me load a live os from my usb with a graphical installer, that was super helpful with cachy.

Kinda wish I fully commited, but I can run my windows programs/games off my windows partition fairly easily, so I don’t need to open it to access that data (thought this would be impossible for some reason). I was suprised that embergen worked and seemed to run as well as it does on my windows drive.

In my two days with linux ive come to really like it, im annoyed at myself for staying with windows for so long and not even trying it. (Cachyos) I prefer everything about gnome and plasma to windows right now. I was just dealing with their garbage ui and random updates for no reason. Its nice having some control.
