Just a spacefaring raccoon that’s eaten all the food onboard. Sorry.

I’ve read somewhere along the way that this is a Lemmy issue, not an app issue. I believe it’s being addressed by the devs.

What actually happened here? Aside from the shifter deciding it wanted to take a nap.

I mean, you kind of just described two things that are specifically hard to get working properly on Linux in general - MS Office and the Adobe suite. You’re better off using FOSS alternatives, like LibreOffice and Krita or GIMP. Otherwise, you’ll need something like Lutris as a Wine frontend to install Windows apps - and at that point, you might as well just install stock Linux, get qBittorrent going, pirate what you want, and install as needed. Plus, I don’t think I’d trust the security of a modified version of Linux for piracy. That’s just asking to be exploited.

Yeah, that is one feature I’d like to see - links opened in-app. I’m sure there’s a way to request features.

Mine won’t seem to update beyond 0.0.6 in Obtainium. It sees the update, downloads, click Update, and bam, still 0.0.6. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same thing.

EDIT: Dev is aware of the issue.

I keep trying new Lemmy apps. Some are very good, polished, and will work for most people. No disrespect to any of the third-party apps - I keep rotating between a few to see which I’ll end up using most. Not knocking any of them. But I just keep coming back to Jerboa. Usually, the third-party apps will just be missing that little something. And on the rare occasion I feel like Jerboa needs a feature that another app already has implemented, bam, it’s in the next update (such as DMing users in this update). Not here to suck on that Jerboa peepee, but just wanted to say thanks. With all the appreciation posts going around for the new hotness apps, there’s still some of us that appreciate the classic and all the work put into it by the various contributors.
