@Gingernate @that_leaflet Really talking Fedora 41.
PSU definitely matters, I went initially with a ThermalTake, it failed after a couple of months, then a Gigabyte, same thing, now I’m running a Seasonic and finally appear to be stable.

I agree and that’s why the first site I put up was friendica, but I find on friendica, even though people have the space to express their thoughts in depth and eloquently, few do so, so perhaps Mastodon is so successful because it appeals to people who are incapable of effective self expression. At any rate, it is a reality that it is, so I do run one of those also.
@BobGnarley @kixik Yep this is definitely not a step forward.
@Quail4789 @mik Anything that you execute, yes.
@linuxisevil I don’t really give a flying fuck if you buy it or not. If you want to use Windows be my guest, load up your spyware and controlware and have a good time.
Other than a few graphics, there is so little customization in Zorin that you can drop in the Ubuntu repositories and never notice the difference. And as far as from scratch goes, the first kernel I used as .98 or .99, not quite 1.0, cross compiled for Intel on a Sparc platform, then you had to spend another three days compiling the GNU userland, and then another couple of days for Xorg, at which point you had a mostly usable system.

I use Mate. When I first started using a Desktop in addition to terminals, it was with Redhat 6.1, Redhat came with Gnome-2, I got used to it. I didn’t like the changes made in Gnome-3, so I switched to Mate which retained, or at least had the option to be configured to look as I was used to it, save for more refined graphics. It also works well remotely so that’s another reason I use it as much of my work involves remote acess.
@griefstricken @Draconic_NEO I’ve seen more trolling from lemmy hosts than anything else here recently. I was going to add a lemmy site to my social media sites but this has convinced me that perhaps now is not the time. This time last year mastodon was a big problem but it has settled down, perhaps lemmy will in the future.
