While I can’t quite land on why I didn’t use Mint DE, I didn’t use Ubuntu because I don’t like snap very much. Just about every instance using it has led to either issues clashing with other apps or just complete failure overall. I know you can avoid it and get rid of it but I’m tired of removing things.

I saw MX and was like… “Looks like my desktop as I usually like it.” and you can treat MX as if it’s just another Debian stable install as far as guides are concerned.

MX Linux.

Debian with perks.

Reddit sustains on having go-to communities.

Public freakout is inherently entertaining.

Wallpaper board. Even if you don’t use reddit, you likely went there for wallpapers.

Emulation and console hacking. If these become main discussion points on lemmy, less will go to reddit first for the info. Same for crypto. Same for Linux enthusiasts, knife collectors, car nuts.

We need that instant “I’m sure Lemmy would know” mindset that we already have with reddit.

It really reminds me of Reddit circa 2012.

A little wilder but also a little more innocent so it balances out.

“shittymusic.fire was a bad choice, this shit slaps.”

No one owns it.

In my experience, the major flaw of every social media site. Some asshat owns it and wants to profit from it.
