My Instance, that was already defederated from Hexbear, shows around 300 comments right now.
Watching this from lemmy.world, that's also defederated from Hexbear, shows a similar number.
Looking directly from the lemm.ee instance, this thread has 1300 comments. Whooping 1k difference. I wonder what that could mean? 🙃
For now, it's Debian 12 with KDE Plasma. But I'm really interested in Immutable Systems. I like OpenSuse Kapla, but the KDE Integration is still in alpha. There are still a few shortcomings with the only flatpak approach, like the fact that the Steam Flatpak can't provide smooth wireless controller support because of lacking permissions.
Not sure how good this advice is since I'm not a professional, but: You could try out running Adobe programs in a VM with VMWare (vmware.com). They have an excellent 3D acceleration support already. Just give your VM a good chunk of your hardware resources (I use half of my CPU cores and 3/4 of my system memory). I use that for running Affinity Designer 2 from Sarif, and it works quite well for me. Windows VM boots up in between 6 – 8 seconds and I have a shared folder, where I can drop stuff to interact between my Windows VM and my Linux main system. But like I said, I'm not a professional.
ArmorPaint for painting on 3D Models, but I learned recently about 3DCoat, and it has a Linux version…
I like listening to Podcasts (while I work on my PC) with KDE's “Kasts”. Use my Nextcloud provider to sync my listening status on the Desktop with my Android Podcast App (AntennaPod) for a flawless continuation on mobile.
What are some really important basic commands I can use to start branching out into Terminal command structures
Since I refuse to touch the Terminal like my life depends on it, I can't help you with this 😅
And if Cinnamon has shortfalls or weaknesses that I may run into eventually, what are some good alternative distros that I could leapfrog to eventually?
I'm a little biased, so take it with a grain of salt: Cinnamon's biggest flaw is the lack of support for the Wayland protocol. It's still running with x11. As far as I have read about it, X11 has several big security flaws, and it slowly dies a long, quiet death. As far as I know, the Linux Mint devs (makers of Cinnamon) haven't even started on Wayland support. A good alternative would be the KDE Plasma Desktop. It's insanely customizable, and the default look comes very close to classic Windows. As a KDE Distro, I would recommend KDE Neon since it's based on Ubuntu too.
live image had the same problems. I bought a wifi usb stick after work from my local computer store (Linux support was advertised on the wrapping) and it works so far. Must be the hardware but the mainboard is only a year old...
Thanks everyone. I tried everything but only with very limited success. I have a very unstable connection that loads very very slow and is basically unusable. I will check tomorrow again if there's damage and if WiFi is affected too. It's already night here so time for a little sleep.
There is a + over the top left corner of the icon that you can click for selection without opening. Pretty easy to use if you get the hang of it.
edit: Or you just click the right mouse button over the file you want to select.
