Friends don’t let friends use Manjaro. Their team is so disfunctional that they regularly fail to renew the SSL certificate of their website. I think the last time was yesterday.
If you want a more user friendly Arch experience use CachyOS.
Nvidia is the problematic one. But in most cases that just means that you have to install extra drivers after installation. In most distributions that just means installing an extra package and rebooting. Don’t go to the nvidia website for that.
If you are already familiar with a Linux distribution use that. If you have a friend who uses Linux use the same thing they do. Or just use Mint.
You can change the way your system looks and works by choosing a different desktop environment. Many distributions just have one default but you can always change that later on. The big ones are Gnome which is a bit more like Mac OSX and KDE which is more Windows like. KDE also offers much more customisability.
That depends on multiple things, foremost the app you’re using and how the video is added to the post.
Might also be that wherever the video is hosted is just slow.
If you want fediverse support WordPress has that through plugins. Lemmy is pretty heavy on resources. Just don’t look at Wordpress’ code and you’ll be fine.
That announcement was about the first release. The merger was announced months ago. And even if it wasn’t released you could just easily use whatever fits your environment.
Seerr together with the rest of the *arr stack is pretty easy to use.
I think this should default to off. Lemmy is heavy enough as it is. Caching images from unknown sources just puts additional unneeded strain on all your resources.
Apart from that when some dipshit decides to post CSAM again to another instance you could be liable if you get them on your server.
Much better to turn caching off instead of dealing with those problems.
You could probably do this with FUSE. Guess nobody cared to make that yet.
Opencloud is a fork of the new Owncloud, I think. Similar to how Nextcloud was forked from the old Owncloud.
You can access all Nextcloud files over WebDAV. That is natively supported by many file browsers, including explorer.exe on Windows.
And you can choose in the Linux client what folders to sync.
What the Linux client (in contrast to the Windows client) does not support is having virtual files in a folder and only downloading files on demand.
Apart from that, have you looked at Opencloud?
At least for me the email did come eventually. It was just 30 or 60 minutes late.
Hell yeah, I remember playing the demo of the first one dozens of times because of the great graphics. I never managed to get anything done.
Many people equate the DE with the distro they tried it on. So yeah, DE is a huge factor. There’s a lot of them out there and too many people think you have to switch distribution to try a new one.
If you don’t like KDE, can’t you just stay on Gnome?
Other way around. Sunshine is the server, Moonlight is the client.
BTW, in general you can change your desktop environment without switching the distro. They just often come with a default. But installing another is usually one command away and then you can choose at the login screen.
KDE’s Activities could help you. They are basically completely different desktop layouts and open programs for different tasks. You could set up one for each website with a different Firefox and Thunderbird profile and desktop wallpaper and other things.
Firefox recently added a new profile manager to do just that. Thunderbird should also support having multiple separate profiles.
They can’t stop winning.
I still use swap for those rare moments i run out of RAM after all. Who knows maybe some heavy cronjobs will clash or whatever.
