I did not, had no idea about it. Unfortunately the mouse started to fall apart a bit and Logitech has very few MMO mice meeting my needs, so I decided to switch to Razer Naga Pro V2. I haven’t tried configuring it on Linux yet, as I’m pretty sure the major supporting app doesn’t have V2 support yet.

I might actually contribute back based on the steps listed in the open issue for it. It just requires time, effort, and motivation I don’t have right now.

Additional reason along with what others have said: my mom has been massively consuming books on Prologue. It’s easier to keep her on a single app than to switch her to ABS or Plappa.

I’ve been using Plappa while waiting for Prologue. Pretty solid app so far.

It’s been the Prologue developer’s next biggest priority on their roadmap. Apparently it’s coupled with the v4 Swift rewrite. I just saw it in the subreddit posted about 3 weeks ago.

ABS TestFlight is constantly full is one reason lol.

I’m looking forward to when Prologue v4 comes out and finally supports ABS. After that, I can finally move myself and my family to ABS and I’ll be one step closer to removing Plex.

I’ve recently been working on this kind of migration as well (but to Fedora instead), so I can speak from my own experiences:

• Cloud storage: I’ve heard fewer issues with Google Drive and Dropbox, but I had tried syncing OneDrive and ran into some issues. I ended up purchasing a license to Insync a while back, which was a bit overkill for what I needed it to do. I’m still working on weaning myself off OneDrive entirely and instead going to self-hosted cloud sync.
• Software installs: there are a ton of different methods to do software installs on Linux these days. I think Synaptic only does apt (it’s in the name!), but a lot of apps are distributed through flatpak, AppImage, or even Snaps.
  • Native packages tend to work better with your desktop environment in terms of theming but any library dependencies will get installed with them, while the others are easier to distribute and include the dependencies with them.
• Other advice:
  • Play around with different distros and desktop environments until you find something you’re really comfortable in.
  • Make a list of your required apps and verify which distro’s native capabilities may or may not meet your needs.
  • It took me a few tries before settling on Fedora KDE spin, particularly because KDE had a feature I really wanted: per monitor wallpaper settings without having to install a separate app. I’ve found that many other KDE apps are really nice too, so I’m sticking with it. KDE also puts me in a familiar desktop environment coming from Windows as well.
  • One irritation I’ve experienced: gaming-centric hardware is designed for Windows and if you have stuff designed around that, it’s going to become very obvious. Yes, there’s open source projects that help adapt them for Linux. But they are nowhere near equivalent and generally they lack maintainers to keep them going.
    • I have a Stream Deck that on Windows, I used it for monitoring hardware temps. On Linux, you get app launcher buttons at best.
    • My mouse is a Logitech G604 Lightspeed. Piper + libratbag does a pretty good job at trying to support it, but it’s middling at best and unfortunately looking at the repo, they’re in pretty desperate need of maintainers.

This is my own personal (and recent) experiences and I’m pretty new to using a Linux DE for a main OS too, so anything I say could be incorrect and I welcome suggestions/corrections.

Yeah we tried a few other systems after our main 5e campaign ended. Ars Magica, Lancer, WH40k Wrath and Glory, Blades in the Dark, Cyberpunk Red. My group is not one for roleplaying much, so we prefer crunchy systems. Lancer was great for that, and so is Pathfinder 2e.

Agreed, we’re about half a year and halfway through Abomination Vaults right now. Using PF2e with Foundry VTT has been amazing, especially with all the built-in automation.

The thing I like most about Pathfinder is how well documented their rules are. 5e had a bunch of hand wavy DM-fiat rules, while PF2e typically has a rule for almost everything.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, looks like premium handles more complex adblocking too. But in general I haven’t had any issues with the free version of AdGuard that would lead me to needing an IAP.

I use it for free, no issues. Paid gets you DNS blocking.

It was mentioned in OP’s post: Startpage tends to block those coming in from VPNs.

What frustrates me is that if you’re going in under the guise of journalistic integrity, why not ask for comment from LMG?

Steve made a lot of solid points, but if you never give them a chance to explain themselves, then it just looks like drama click bait. It’s turning me off to techtubers as a whole, both LMG and GN. The backbiting from GN is frustrating, and the maddening pace of faulty LMG videos is sad.

Devil’s advocate here: it’s possible the person who left the bag there may have some physical disability that keeps them from being able to open the dumpster or lift the bag into it. Not everyone is equally able to do everything you can.

Memmy has iPad support.

Honestly yes, I had been using Reddit since at least 2010 and I was a strong forum user before that. Losing the community hurts, and fuck spez for forgetting his roots.

Using Mint on my laptop, haven’t made the jump yet on my desktop. I was using Pop OS for a while, but I like Mint’s Cinnamon interface better.
