I am on my on de-googling journey with a lot of self hosting (Nextcloud, vaultwarden etc) but am struggling with replacing my nest minis. I mainly use them for turning lights off, setting alarms and getting weather forecasts. What are other people using?

For power users like ourselves sure but for beginners who are not tinkering immutables are perfect.

+1 I am installing bazzite gnome (configured to look like windows 10) on my wife and mum’s computers. As long as they have chrome they are good.

I could not get into Dawn of War 2 and 3 despite pouring thousands of hours into DoW1 and it’s expansions. Why do makers of classic RTS games (looking at you EA) have to f*** with the formula?

The only thing stopping me from jumping is proper work profile support

Every time I look around for a new mail client I come back to thunderbird. Nothing else ticks all the boxes

Tell me, how does this impact your experience? You don’t have to use this option

This is great for me. While I enjoyed raiding with a guild back in Wrath all those folks moved on and I find it harder to make those connections as I get older. Plus the toxicity which has always lurked in dungeon finder and LFR. This lets me play the game solo.

Have you tried Silverblue? If Bluefin’s Gnome customisation isn’t for you I expect Silverblue would be much closer to Workstation

Running bluefin here and loving it although I am forced back to x11 for work

Perth?

True story - I moved from Scotland to Perth when I was 6. A few months later I visited Tranby House, one of the oldest buildings in Perth at around 1830. I remember thinking to myself that our house in Scotland before we moved was older than that (circa 1800)

I prefer Lemmy over Mastodon for the same reason I preferred Reddit (pre-APIpocalypse) over Twitter (pre-Musk) - the ability to subscribe to specific communities with similar interests. Try as I might in Mastodon with selective subscriptions to certain posters I still find myself scrolling through stuff I have no interest in hoping for a nugget of interest.

When VMWare Horizon Client (which I need for work) supports it

Glad I nuked all my posts and comments and deleted my account last year

I use calibre to manage my collection. Calibre creates a folder per author and a sub-folder per book. I also have separate Calibre libraries for fiction, non-fiction and comics.

Thanks for that. Now that I know the launcher shortcut I will give it another go
