You are a legend for this, thank you so much!

:| i hope i can switch without losing everything??

Wait this vs tuwunel? I switched to tuwunel because i thought that was the official successor

Its a CRM, i agree with the gripes about the name but tbf I’m kinda surprised to see it on here? The GitHub repo seems pretty dead

100% agree, and made pretty much the same point in the LTT forum a while back. Flavor of the month people annoy tf out of me, I’ve been a linux user for over a decade and have never even thought of recommending something outside of the big 3 (debian/ubuntu (or mint if that’s your thing), fedora, arch)

Tried and true distros are the only real option and IMO the difference between distros once everything is configured is mininal

Unfortunately, legality is one thing and enforcement is another. I’ve yet to see action be taken against illegal parking in NYC. Even when it’s been called in and reported.

Same goes for housing violations & hit and runs

No idea tbh, it seems to have commits from 5 months ago but no new releases

Probably a fine buy, you can get m.2s for it and it should be silent at idle. With the level of silence you want, you’re gonna have to do some sort of low power mini PC & ssds.

A quick caution, don’t cheap out on your ssds! The cheap ones are low quality and have high premature failure rates (ask me how i know 😭)

This looks cool, interested to see how this stacks up against Monica & if there are plans for a mobile app

Polyamory, multiple partners and they each have multiple partners

This is true, i didn’t read the part where he’s keeping everything except the motherboard/cpu. I’m used to switching out to random gpus LMAO

For your linux partition you’d probably just need to install new drivers. I’ve popped my boot drive into a bunch of different pcs with no issue.

Your windows partition might be weird, last i heard it assigns the activation to the motherboard serial number or something so you might have to redo the crack or provide your activation code again

Well Zorin is ubuntu based, so i feel like that’s a win for Ubuntu (and debian)

Third’d

Mint or any other ubuntu-derivative distro is 10000% the move. I’ve been running ubuntu as my os for a while now, and I’ve spent nearly the last decade on linux (makes me feel old saying that lol).

The other distros have a lot of strength, but at the end of the day i want to spend my time messing with things i want to mess with. I don’t want random weird issues that I have to constantly debug, and everyone can agree that stability is debian’s (and therefore ubuntu’s) undisputed strength

I don’t doubt that, I’m saying this more because there are additional routes that i had to configure in NPM to get lemmy working properly. This may be where OP is having issues, you can probably set them up in CF too but I have no idea.

Are you pointing cloudflare directly to Lemmy? I have mine going from cloudflare to Nginx Proxy Manager configured to serve Lemmy.

There is some additional configuration necessary for a reverse proxy in front of Lemmy, which is potentially where things are getting messed up for you?

No worries :) everyone starts somewhere.

The other commenter covered the terminology so to your point about being on Nvidia:

I know we don’t like Reddit but here. Seems to be YMMV and you’ll never know if you don’t try. Also possible that the things that are buggy aren’t things you use/care about

FWIW I run Ubuntu and do some gaming. Haven’t hit any issues, and I’ve run multiple AAA games on release (TLOU, Indiana Jones, Hogwarts Legacy, GoW 2018) as well as other, lighter, titles like Cities Skylines 2, Asetto Corsa, Project Cars, American Truck Simulator

I’m sure there are bugs that I haven’t experienced, and my system is probably newer/higher performance than the average person + i chose parts with Linux in mind. But based on my experience, I wouldn’t tell someone to jump into a less user friendly distro because of problems I myself haven’t run into. Much better to try one, see if you hit an issue, then jump rather than doing the hard one up front

Consider your library: most games will be able to run fine on Linux. However, if you predominantly play online multiplayer games which require anticheat you should check compatibility on ProtonDB.

Second, consider your hardware: if your GPU is AMD you’re good to go. Nvidia might have issues (not sure if this has been resolved since I last had to look into it).

Finally, choose a distro: I’d recommend Ubuntu or anything Ubuntu-based. There’s a lot of mixed answers in the Linux community and definitely a ton of hate for Ubuntu. However, as someone who has been running Linux for nearly a decade at this point, there are a few key points:

1. Ubuntu is debian based, so it’s extremely stable(but not as slow to update)

2. Ubuntu is very beginner friendly, and you won’t need to touch the terminal if you don’t want to

3. Everyone hates on snaps, but for you I don’t think you’ll run into an issue with it.

Personally, I steer towards debian based distros for my devices as well because I’d rather spend time messing with the software I’m running or other things NOT debugging why my config is suddenly shitting the bed

Yeah, although now that its officially on a recall I’ll have to evaluate the options we have
