Which Distro would you recommend for a relative newcomer? My PC was once “high-end” but is already a bit older (2016/17?). Still quite powerful, I guess.

OK, thanks for the information, that sounds really interesting. I was playing Doom Eternal and Metro Exodus some time ago, but I made a bread and didn‘t pick it up anymore due to a lack of time. Many years ago I was also trying a bit of Linux on a Netbook (small notebook). By then it was really a different world than Windows.

However, I am not sure how easy that is to manage with getting the right Linux distribution, then Wine, then Proton and then getting all tricks and tweaks right… - I am not a tech expert, so leaving a system that works out of the box is a bit of a hurdle for me.

What would be the best Linux „Distro“ (I guess that‘s how it is called) to start with? I would prefer if I would not have to deal with command line stuff… ;-)

What is “Proton” in this context?

I have a custom built PC running on Windows 10, which has no TPM and therefore cannot update to Win11. I might consider Linux as an alternative on some regular laptop, but I'm afraid that my games might no longer be running if I switch the OS from Windows to Linux.

Which OS are you referring to?

Dachte das wäre ein Seitenhieb auf den Rumänischen Rechtsaußen, der sich auch schon mal fälschlicherweise zum Präsidenten ausgerufen hatte.

Congratulations! This is a good day for Romania and for Europe!

The scariest part here is that the Republicans are acting, in every way, like they will never be subject to a legitimate vote again.

I thought that's the plan?!

even a scathing rant about surveillance capitalism becomes fodder for the machine, as you can clearly see with the ads on this page. 

Ads? I can see no ads...

Never been happier to see some cookies (I can delete or block).

Hasn't Elon fired most of the SEC staff, to make sure they don't get in their way...

I‘d love to… - but I‘m not even American.

 
 
 

I have been looking in settings, but somehow I can’t find a setting to show link previews for URLs instructions instead of just a copy of the title with a frame around it.

If that is not a feature yet, I would like to request it. All other Lemmy apps I am currently testing show link preview, so the Liftoff timeline looks kinda weird.

Other than that I really like the clean UI design!
