ACTUALLY itâs GNU/Linux (pronounced gu-noo-SLASH-li-nux). I know itâs just a âmemeâ, but get your facts straight buddy, this ainât fucking le reddit.

alejandro@lemmy.worldto Now Lemmy Explain: Simple Explanation for Complex Topics@lemmy.worldâ˘Now Lemmy Explain: KbinEnglish1¡3 years agoItâs a Lemmy alternative. They aim to do more or less the same thing, but are made by different people and developed independently.
But thanks to federation, Lemmy and Kbin can communicate similar to how Lemmy and Mastodon can communicate. So you can simply use the one you like best, and not worry about missing out on content posted to Lemmy.
Kbin is rough around the edges as itâs earlier in development than Lemmy, but it has more features than Lemmy, like a âmicroblogsâ tab so that you can use it like Mastodon/Twitter if you want.
alejandro@lemmy.worldto Would You Rather@lemmy.worldâ˘Would you rather have the power of flight or invisibility?English0¡3 years agoDefinitely invisibility. If I had the power of flight, Iâd probably have everyone asking me to do favors for them all the time.
alejandro@lemmy.worldto Linux Gaming@lemmy.worldâ˘Gaming Experience on Immutable DistrosEnglish1¡3 years agoIâve been exclusively using Silverblue (well, Kinoite, which is the KDE version) as my main workstation OS for at least 8 months, and gaming on it is no different from other operating systems. Once you install Steam from Flathub, it all just works. The only difference is that you might need to give Steam permission to access your external drives if you want to add a Steam library on them. KDE Plasma lets you do it from the system settings app easily.
For generic Wine usage, I just use Lutris. Steam does allow you to add non-Steam games and run them through Proton, but IMO Lutrisâ interface is easier for doing more advanced Wine stuff without having to drop into a terminal. Thatâs personal preference though.
As far as drivers, I didnât have trouble installing the Nvidia driver (I have a 1080 TI). I donât remember exactly what I did to install it system wide, since that was many months ago, but it was easy and well-documented IIRC.
Whatâs more complicated is getting the driver to work in graphical apps launched from toolboxes. If youâre doing development, or expect to build graphical software/games from source, youâll likely need to deal with this. Basically, you just need to install the driver again inside of the toolbox, and make sure itâs the same version as whatâs installed on your base system. I have some scripts to automate this if youâre interested, but itâs not really that useful unless youâre planning to use toolboxes a lot.
Overall, Iâm very happy with Silverblue/Kinoite. The immutable base system gives me a lot of confidence on the long-term reliability of the system. Originally, I expected it to be a real blocker for most software, but the only thing I couldnât get working was TeamViewer (didnât try that hard tho tbh). Iâve even been able to get complex stuff to work like Unity, O3DE, Stable Diffusion webui, and a bunch of other AI-related stuff that is normally hard to install even on a regular system.
Fedora Kinoite: 9/10 â highly recommend
I use Kagi and never pay more than $10/mo even though I use it a lot. I think most people donât know how much they search in a month, so the pricing can be confusing.
I have the early adopter pro plan, which gives me extra searches (1500 instead of 1000), but for reference, I averaged 1044 searches/mo over the past 6 months (not counting this month). So if I had the standard pro plan, Iâd have paid $10.66 per month on average.
The unlimited plan seems excessive to me, unless youâre playing with the API or something like that.
