MATE gang rise up!
Do XP next!
have you tried GoLang? It’s big for game dev as of late
I used to use Kodi, worked really well.
Asked Perplexity, got this back, seems right.
When choosing a Linux distribution for a Home Theater PC (HTPC), several options are tailored for media consumption:
LibreELEC: This is a lightweight, fast, and easy-to-use media center distro based on Kodi. It’s designed for dedicated media center PCs and supports various media formats. LibreELEC is simple to set up and runs smoothly on older hardware[5].
OSMC: Another Kodi-based distro, OSMC is known for its automatic media library updates and support for remote control devices. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for media playback[5].
OpenELEC: Similar to LibreELEC, OpenELEC is a “just enough operating system” designed for running Kodi. It is suitable for embedding into a media center setup[6].
Ubuntu MATE: Although not specifically a media center distro, Ubuntu MATE is user-friendly and can be configured with media center software like Kodi or Plex. It offers flexibility and stability for a media center environment[5].
Linux Mint: Known for its ease of use, Linux Mint can also be used as a media center with additional software installations. It provides a full desktop experience with the option to install Kodi[7].
Each of these options provides different levels of customization and ease of use, making them suitable for various HTPC needs.

It’s gonna die like Digg or Fark … Which are still around, but shells of their former selves. TBH most normal folks haven’t even heard of Reddit, let alone Lemmy or Mastodon.
If you use Inoreader, you can just skip going to it for the most part.
Huge fan of PHP…I mean PGP, oh god auto correct, you scary 😳
I mean, you’re in the right place to advocate for that 😜
KeepassXC + KeepassDX
This is actually a really good idea. 🙏
WPA2 is just fine TBH. Use what works with all the devices you own heh heh
YES! I’m so sick of phones with camera bumps on the back😅

Do you write it for work?
Hibernation I’ve found handy on my laptop, but I wish there was like a fastboot option with Ubuntu. I know windows 11 does it to boot faster.
Same, nice to see it get some love. I’ve tried a whole bunch of them, Wez is also a super nice guy and very active on GitHub.
Actually, there is software for OSX to do that, works quite well.
Slack is really nice and is at least usable for large projects and teams.
I say it all the time, people care about apps and browsing websites, they don’t care about the how, just the what. Too many techy folks cannot see it as a business and human problem.
Nah, a real 4chaner would be happy the cat is happy.
