Wow, People are replying! That usually dosent happen on a first post...

I am running Windows at the moment, actually... but I will make a dual boot (once I have a working USB). I have been finding PopOS to be good for me, so that's what I will use.

You can't just make this post and not add your answer...

[–] teesh3rt 1 points 1 year ago

I added my answer, but it may be a little disappointing...

True that, I second Altair. But hey, there is a strong linux userbase on lemmy so I'm not surprised. I'm lurking for now, trying to figure out how to make my laptop dual boot and trying to decide which distro.

Welcome to lemmy :D

Thanks! I know the api madness is probably over by now (I am seeing most of reddit going back to full working order),

but i made this account when it wasn't, so why not use it?

Not yet, apps will officially shut down on the 30th.

Ah you knew about the fediverse? I didn't, I found out when the blackout was announced. In any case, feels good to be here :)

[–] teesh3rt 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, nice. I did not mean apps shutting down, what I meant was subreddits closing down. This seems to be more calmed down as well, seeing that if I visit reddit right now, most of my favourite subreddits will be online.

I just unsubbedd from almost all my subs (they were a lot lol), I found good alternatives here and that's fine for me, I don't care anymore what they do on reddit.

There's only 2 I still check every now and then, very small niche communities that are hard to replace, for now at least.
