Came here when the Reddit 3rd party app threat started looming, loved it and never went back.

Sure, Lemmy doesn’t have the same variety and amount of content that’s on Reddit but that’s because it’s a smaller and newer platform along with the fact that not all instances federate with each other (which is great).

I still get my scrolling urge fulfilled and presented with random memes and news that I’m interested in without the data harvesting factor which is perfect for me.

Slackware. Horrible experience.

Then Ubuntu.

Now Debian.

Was LFS a bit too much?

Fuck one, marry one, kill one… erm… sex traffick one.

I had the Pinebook Pro. It was pretty good, solidly built, had a 1080p screen and could handle Openshot video editor, web browsing and video playback. All I needed.

I didn’t have it hooked up to an external display but according to the website it can handle 4K playback. Mainly used it for listening to music in Cmus whilst browsing in Firefox.

Battery life was pretty good, about 10 hours IIRC but mine just stopped booting after I left the battery dead for a few months.

Might buy another one though https://pine64.com/product-category/pinebook-pro/

Are you still at it?

Debian with XFCE. Lightweight, clean and stable.

Yea, but now both apps she uses are open source

I installed Fedora on my aunt’s laptop she runs an eBay business with. She only ever used Excel for a spreadsheet she tracks her accounts with and Chrome for her listings. Replaced them with Libre office calc and Chromium, didn’t really need to explain anything to her
