  • the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)

    I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.

    Only things I’ll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I’ll gladly donate)






  • I went Gentoo to Debian to Arch.

    Gentoo took too much time to maintain. (Not just compile time. But also human time editing config files).

    Debian was great, until I had new hardware that needed a recent kernel and Wayland. i tried testing but that wasn’t stable enough and took too much of my time maintaining.

    I’m using arch now. i would only switch if they do something egregious (push ads, malware or snap)



  • honestly most distros will be fine. what matters more is your desktop environment. pick something light where Bells and whistles can be turned off. i used fvwm for many years on a lower spec system. now I use kde/plasma on wayland.

    I’ve used arch and Debian on low spec systems. both were fine. slightly prefer arch cause it’s more up to date
