ysk (you should know) that i use
voidlinux
My favorite part of Arch is reinstalling it over and over again. That first successful boot after the install gives too much dopamine.
My favorite part of Arch is that my install from 5 years ago still works perfectly and I didn’t have to do any major version upgrade that breaks everything.
Just had to reinstall arch 3 times yesterday, since the installation script fucked up the partitioning.
Reinstall nr1(manually, since the script didn’t work): I forgot to add users and couldn’t log into my machine Reinstall nr2(manually): my mirror lists was so fucked up that I couldn’t install or update packages(there also were some missing databases) Reinstall nr3(script) : finally everything worked.
Don’t use the script. Ezpz problem solved
Agreed. I’ve been installing it manually since 2012, never had an issue I couldn’t quickly fix. I attempted to use the installer about 6 months ago and couldn’t get past the disk partitioning step because it wouldn’t allow me to do the things I needed to do, then I think it crashed.
What’s the point of installing Arch if you don’t do it manually
use linux mint of you’re coming from windows
Nah… I’m on Arch (BTW)
rocky linux supreme

Getting really tired of this “the fediverse needs to cater to normie interests because we’re here now and it’s what we deserve” attitude. If you can’t find a community to click with, you can always create one, join one you don’t know much about with an open mind, or don’t use the fediverse if it doesn’t have the content you like. Sorry to say it but you’re not special and no existing users on any social media platform is obligated to go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the platform.
Same with the “your open source, community developed platform/client sucks! I demand you make the UX better because I the user deserve better! No I’m not going to donate to your development fund because you suck and need to be better before you deserve my money!” sentiments that I see on Lemmy more and more now. Seems like everyone just expects corporate level user experience and customer service from people developing open source software mostly for free as passion projects. Even after the numerous corporate boondoggles that drove people to the fediverse in the first place people aren’t the slightest bit willing to change their paradigms regarding how social media should be run.

The small community here is what makes it good. I prefer to gatekeep even more to prevent “low quality” users who think they’re entitled to everything.
I am a pretty heavy “Fediverse user” (Mastodon + Lemmy/Kbin) and my feeds have VERY little Linux talk. There is an incredibly diverse set of folks on the ‘verse but admittedly discoverability is hard. If the only people in your circle are Linux nerds then that’s all that might be boosted into your timeline. Put some effort into finding other folks and unfollow some of the Linux-only voices :-).
Maybe people aren’t used to curate their own feed anymore.
That’s the biggest thing. My Mastodon is very curated as is my subscribed feed. Put work in, get quality out.
How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven’t created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

Here’s some tips for paring a feed gone mad down… https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/08/10/curating-mastodon-feed
Happy Fediversing!
Thanks! Some of the tips are certainly not obvious to people not familiar with mastodon like me (follow a lot of people first to discover stuff they boosted then prune it later, follow people that boosts a lot).
I’m a huge Linux geek and I rarely see Linux on my feed.
I think it’s mostly people viewing the “All”/“Community” feeds. Which I feel like you have to do in general as the niche communities haven’t really gotten to a self sustaining point where you can check your “Home” feed and not run out of stuff to doom scroll.
Not to mention that if you happened to mention certain things in communities that are tangentially related (Windows/Nintendo/Apple) then it usually starts another off topic discussion on linux/piracy/whatever.
Honestly the linux stuff doesn’t bother me as much as every topic seemingly turning into a critique of capitalism.
what is lemmy/kbin you meant lemmy and kbin
lmao. Nice!
Seems to be the same person too!
I mean, do the people at the fediverse really talk mainly about Linux? I see in both Lemmy and Mastodon more people talking about US politics, LGBTQ+ stuff and furrys (lmao) than anything related to technology in general. I guess the kind of content someone sees would depend a lot on the instance someone creates their account in?
I see some Linux but I’m subscribed to a lot of techy communities. Self host, programming etc. So it’s kinda normal.
Could be the default view on each instance… On my first account I subbed to a lot of different communities on different instances so I saw all the crap. Eventually due to all the politics bullshit I just migrated to my current instance which has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked so it’s been a lot better.
But even so, I always see a bunch of politics crap on the memes community.
It feels like every 3rd post for me. But it doesn’t really bother me.
edit Went ahead and scrolled past this post, counting how many Linux memes I saw. About 3 out of every 10.
Hopefully all the different clients will soon support good blocking. With connect for android I can block instances and keywords, but I most just continually block on a community basis what I don’t want to see from All. I’m sure there are hundreds in there. This keeps it quite relevant for me but I’m still in the flow of seeing new subs. I do subscribe to all the ones I really like.
So it’s a curation process, but a more active one vs trying to hunt subs down like I used to do with Reddit.
Yeah I also do see a lot more content of the communities I’m subbed to than of the instance I created my account in.
Furrys being in a community is a sign of a healthy community and a sign of true freedom of speech.
Just a pattern I’ve recognized over the years
Sounds like a skill issue.
Lmao, I’m tempted to say “skill issue” any time someone comments about me using Linux over Windows now
I honestly am glad to see so much linux stuff
Block those communities and subjects you don’t want in your feed.
You just have to find communities that share your interests.
How do you go about discovering new communities? I’ve been scrolling All but the amount of communities that shows up is very limited (at least considering I blocked all the foreign language and political ones)
https://lemmyverse.net find from these
I ment naturally from within boost
change your feed to “all” and then sort by “hot”
I don’t know how I forgot about the sorting options, that stills limits me to the communities that have been connected to my instance right? I saw somewhere that each instance only syncs the communities the users from that instance have followed or something of the style
I don’t really know how the federizing works
I don’t get it. I am on sh.itjust.works and yes I see the odd Linux post, but not so many that it stands out. I am even on many tech subscriptions. This seems overblown.
What’s I3? Is it uppercase "i"3 or lowercase "L"3?
There are orher things than Linux?
There is Unix and bsd.
I feel like this, but instead of Linux it’s communism BS. Lol
i got bad news for you about lemmy
Yeah, I’m kinda mad at all the Spez/3rd party app stuff, but the constant hate has got me thinking about leaving lemmy. It’s sad because I like the idea behind lemmy but people have no respect.
I like hearing different sides of things but absolutely everything is political here and it’s either black or white. Ffs
absolutely everything is political here and it’s either black or white. Ffs
Welcome to social media in general
True that’s why I don’t have any “traditional” social media, except for YouTube I guess?
I mostly use lemmy/YouTube and from time to time I really can only find some niche community on reddit so I have to give in.
But no political content whatsoever, that’s why lemmy shocked me a bit.
bro you don’t feel like this because of “communists”, it’s because you’re a landlord and there’s a lot of news about the housing crisis.
p.s. get a real job.
I have a real job. How do you think I bought the house?
Perhaps you should spend less time online being a toxic cunt and focus on working instead.
P.S. Going through my post history? Get a life.
Just like how Linux takes up 75% of the adoption rate?
