Right so I haven't switched just yet, I'm waiting on Win10 EOL because there is still stuff I use that is windows only (Adobe suite [ I fucking hate gimp ] and some games)
However, I did look into distro stability, and what apps are avalabile. Everything else I use IS either Linux native or runs great on Linux.
Inevitably, when I switch, I will miss Photoshop and not having to tinker with making games work
use btdig if you can't find it on any trusted source. Just make sure to SCAN EVERYTHING IN THERE BEFORE YOU RUN ANYTHING.
I did a quick search on it and already found Soundpad
Disclaimer: BTDIG is a aggregator so it is not reccomended to search for software or games on it. Many sources are included in the search, so take care in running ANYTHING from there. (If you're on windows run it in like a sandbox [e.g. sandboxie] and check how it behaves)
I don't like generative AI in my tools. The little prompt that explains a command and arguments that can be passed as you type is nice, I will give it that, but AI should not be any part of it. Fuck right off with it.
Since I am in the same boat as you pretty much, I want to see what makes a computer tick under Linux, I think I'll try arch as my first bare metal distro and see how often I can manage to break it. If it's too much I'll switch to atomic fedora.
I'm not very well educated in this topic, so I hope someone can correct me if I'm wrong here.
Torrenting as a whole, is not illegal. Look at Linux distributions for example, they offer direct downloads and torrents. What is illegal is distributing copyrighted files.
If you would have posted this anywhere else, I wouldn't have read it. People keep making posts that link to other blogs and personally I don't like leaving website just to go read something (but that is manly because I use Lemmy on my phone)
As for the content, really nice write-up. I've been debating whether I should go for Arch or atomic fedora, and this article shined more light in the world of atomicity
thank you, I think I'll install a atomic distro as my first distro now. I like the fact that it's hard to break but still gives the full Linux experience
I see that they offer a debian package, see if you can get it working with DistroBox. I've seen another user get a VPN working that way, so this might help.
I think you can whitelist websites to be exempt from deleting data from them on firefox too. I vaguely remember seeing something like that in settings near the "Clear Data" button.
