Yeah man, I should know. But at the end of the day, we’re better for it. This guy will be crying about not having privacy and stuff like that while doing everything in his power not to be able to get away from all those things.
Pretty similar to being hostage of a very toxic relationship. Oh well.
By the way, outside of our brawl down below, I do agree with you 100% that having a fully functional and modern Linux phone would be an amazing thing to have.
Reminds me of my drugs days. “I can control it, I use them because I want to, not because I need them. I can quit any time”. 20 years later, no house, no family, no money, and half my recommended weight. And it’s the same for every addiction. The only way to get rid of a problem is by first accepting there is a problem. Changing pushers never made it better, just saying.
It is, very.
That’s your best answer? “No problems we’re solved because I said so”? 🤣🤣🤣
No wonder you sound so angry here, lol.
It’s a pub. I think there should be no questions 🤣
He did solve a problem, his problem. What’s the deal with thinking everything that applies to you applies to others?
At the very least they should allow you to get them all back, I’m not talking about allowing to store more.
I may be extra paranoid, but I’m almost certain that, even if they delete it from your folders (I don’t think they do, at least not Right away), they still keep it for maintaining a profile of each person. As for the ransomware, yeah, if you don’t pay them, you’re likely to lose access. That’s the definition of ransom, no?
Leave your data synchronizing with their cloud, pass the limit, miss 1 payment and see how that goes for you when you try to get your data. Good luck.
Yeah, I get it. I’m a tinkerer, so I enjoy checking what’s new out there, which leads me to distro hop every 3 to 6 months (only to end up right back on Fedora or Bazzite 😜), plus o don’t have a drop of art in my blood, so my use cases are pretty common.
If I was in your shoes, I’d probably just stay there until I’m comfortable with the software I need for what I do, and once I am, then I’d look into other distros that can run the same software flawlessly and try some until I find what I want.
You’re on the right path. Enjoy freedom.
Anything that you are currently using in Ubuntu Studio you can also get in any other distro.
Having said that, if you feel comfortable with Ubuntu Studio, just stick to it, learn to troubleshoot it’s issues, and you’ll be just fine.
That’s one of the beauties of the Linux world, choice!
Good stuff. As much as I hate Microsoft and everything they do, if you’re enjoying a stable system, and don’t mind the injected Spyware and ramsonware that comes with windows by default, enjoy.
Not everyone has to like Linux.
This is absolutely critical. Jellyfin is not made with security as an important factor.
Easy, mine is local only and on it’s own VLAN.
Shit, and I just finished my quarterly distro-hop run last weekend. Now I have to take this for a spin 🤣🤣
If you’re going to self-hosted instead of using a VPS (I know you said you’re looking at a VPS solution, this is just in case) make sure you can segregate your networks. A router that allows you to create virtual LANs, same with the access points and switches if needed.
You don’t want to expose all your devices to the internet for a few services.
If you’re using an Nvidia card, the easiest way into Linux for gaming (in my opinion) is Bazzite, as aguasemgas mentioned.
Otherwise, any distro will do. I prefer Fedora Workstation, which is what I use for work (as do my wife and kids) but use Bazzite in my laptop because it’s a System76 Gazelle with a 3050TI,and I don’t like the current status of PopOS. All my games run great, and everything else is a FlatPak, so not much need to tweak anything really.
I’ve been wondering the same for a couple of years now. I tried it once, and it’s garbage. I never hear about it in forums, YouTube, Mastodon, Lemmy or any other place, but they are always top 10. WTF? 🤣
Lol, I find it so funny that people actually believe they are doing damage by down voting. I still think the way I do, and it’s why I don’t use anything mainstream at all.
Fedora for work, Fedora on my laptop, a ProxMox server with 20TB of space to hold everything I want.
Add to that the awesome blessing of living where most people go only on expensive vacations, own my business with my wife, and get to enjoy beach, pool, large backyard with 3 dogs and own my time.
How can I do all this? Easy, I get to control my time, my money, my data and my life.
Like you say, losers scrolling mindlessly in social networks seeing what the corps want them to see, getting controlled, and then crying like little bitches because “we need someone to do something about all this we’re addicted to” instead of growing some balls and taking control of their lives.
My kids spend all day at school, and all afternoon and weekends outside. Guess who’s kids will be tough enough when they grow up to lead the sheep.
I remember Zuckerberg himself saying that he didn’t allow his kids to use Facebook. Why people never took that as the most clear warning they would ever get is beyond me.
