They're definitely not perfect but in my one year experience on Linux+2080ti, it's totally usable. The Linux community seems to enjoy those overblown drama, at this point the Nvidia thing is basically a meme, pretty funny to watch.
This kid was raised to believe flexing a gun is cool. The society he grew up in is broken. When I was is age, I wouldn't had been able to do this because I didn't had access to gun, easy fix.
When the creator of Monkey Island tells you Fuck You, you definitely messed out something in your life. Shame on you Elon Musk for disappointing Ron Glibert.
I know it doesnt fix toxicity but it has the potential to bring solutions. Users dont have any power over Reddit's management decision, they made sure to remind us last year. But wity Lemmy, we can always change the rule, experiment with new systems, etc. That's a huge difference.
The fact is Spotify and Youtube music are the two worse streaming service. They give less to artists, the pool system only benefits artists that are signed to majors, and on top of that they give 100 effing millions to stupid Joe Rogan. You are paying money to Joe, not artists.
If you need a streaming service, Tidal is the only ok option. Same price but 3x more for artist.
But the best thing you can do is: buy album from bandcamp (90% to the artists), go to shows, buy merch, contribute directly to the artists in any way.
I'm actually teaching in a college to young musicians, who all want to live of their music but pretty much none of them has ever even bought an album. I don't think I've ever convinced a single one to switch to Tidal.
This is actually really popular among my music students. I completely disagree on most case. X raped 300 kids but hey, he makes pretty good beats so let's pay 200$ for a concert.
2 weeks ago, I suscribed to a pre-installed Nextcloud service. IT IS SO WORTH IT!!! It's much more that what I was expeting. Data storgage of course, but tons of super usefull apps. Deck to replace Trello, News for rss feeds, Only Office for an online suite, Memories for picture, a very usefull media player, and much more. In the age of AI, I'm never again storing anything on Google or MS storage. We nees to take the internet back, fuck the GAFAM.
Did you give ALVR a try? Some people got it working. I basically don't use my Quest with a pc because Windows. Hopefully things will be perfectly working in a few months, things move fast for Linux gaming right now.
The first sentence says it's "definitely not perfect" and "in MY experience". So relax, nobody is dismissing your bad experience.
