Negative Karma on a post means people cared enough about your writing to downvote it.

Seems like the mods are understaffed and unpaid.

Yes, very easy > explore > hashtags > select follow icon in top right

There are hashtags on Mastodon as well.

Twitter is people based as well, no?

You need a couple of people to follow, then it’s great! I met most of my Twitter folks on conferences and such. The majority has now moved to Mastodon. It’s mostly programming folks.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

Having different keyboard shortcuts takes some getting used to for sure. However it’s not like Excel is the end all be all of spreadsheet usability. Business often depend on some idiosyncratic excel sheet, that doesn’t work in Calc in the first place.

LibreOffice isn’t terrible. The Writer is actually pretty okay. The spreadsheet and presentation software feels like something from 15 years ago though.

Well, it depends on what your cases are. It’s great that Linux can fulfill your needs.

Sure. Everyone’s requirement for a desktop is different. Blender is very good for sure and Krita is decent. However for painting and drawing Krita doesn’t hold a candle to Procreate on an iPad. As for games, if you’re not a super serious gamer, there’s tons of stuff that runs on Linux nowadays for sure.

My phone records 4K video in HDR, which I then can neither view nor edit properly on Linux. Do you have VLC 3 running with working HDR support?

Some people need to use actually good productivity applications on their computers.

LibreOffice, Inkscape, OpenShot, GIMP, etc. just aren’t particularly good. No HDR support is embarrassing at this day and age.

I have installed Linux more often than Windows and MacOS and it’s not even my main operating system. What Linux offers me is a bunch of similar desktop environments all running the same mediocre applications. I want to get stuff done, not fiddle with window managers and packet managers all day.

Installing Linux to express your feelings about Microsoft might be emotionally therapeutic, but that’s about it.

Emotions not ratio are the key.

Protip: Install Windows Server as your desktop OS. It comes without all that crap.

The US was built on genocide and no party wants to do something about that.
