Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.

codenul,

Same similar story but was running Manjaro beforehand. Liking EndeavourOS so for as well!

Did have a Grub issue but after a day of what I call “constructive troubleshooting / learning”, was able to rescue my installation.

Just got to have the drive to learn sometimes

codenul,

I would rather switch to Linux then miss playing two games.(I understand there’s more games that don’t work under Linux, but you understand my point). Also theres plenty of games out there.

But that’s just me.

codenul,

Same! Was at the adoption center and he runs over to me, jumps up and puts his two front paws on my chest. Immediately lays down on my lap.

I was shocked. Heart melted. 35 yr dude.

His brother was still in the cage, peeping out, being careful. Finally coming over and greeting me.

Had to adopt both of them.

codenul,

Haven’t heard about the game “Hexen” in years!!!

Remove preinstalled apps - Universal Android Debloater (github.com)

I just discovered this amazing app! It lets you remove (or just disable) preinstalled apps like Facebook, Netflix, etc. and system apps like samsung knox apps, diagnostic, bixby, and even One UI (but you must have installed other launcher). You can’t brick your device, worst case it falls into a boot loop and after 5 reboots...

codenul,

Been able to do this for some time via Adb shell. Nice to see a proper app that handles the commands

codenul,

Not trying to be rude here, but it does say “by EFF technologists” when installing the extension. Also their welcome page for the extension after installing it, states “” A project of the EFF".

I hope these things are read beforehand and just not skipped, ignored or just installed quickly before taking some time to look around / researched.

codenul,

One reason I shop at Aldi’s. Their cashiers sat down. I respect that. I shop there.

American

codenul,

Top two for me are Freetube and KDE Connect.

Sharing files (and all the other features) with KDE Connect across 2 devices on same network has never been so easier.

codenul,

Been using Freetube for about 4 months now and I love it.

codenul,

Been using it on my Oneplus 6t and been liking it so far

codenul,

Would like to see some sources if you got them. Currently use /e/os and would like to do more research.

codenul,

Believe they are reworking the launcher, Bliss, in an upcoming update

codenul,

Could always get one second hand. Currently using /e/OS on a OnePlus 6t, and its quick and smooth.

Honestly this phone is great for modding, cost about $75

codenul,

Yup! Read that they can use it up 6 other times. I have a old 10 gallon tank that I might separate them. Just need to buy all the fixtures for the tank

Part of the reason I got back into this hobby was to learn and this just adds to it. Very interesting stuff

codenul,

I do not, but now I have more information to look up and soak in. :)

codenul,

I could do this, but wouldn’t that just promote more pregnancy? Not sure if I have the room for all these babies

codenul,

Agreed. Also from a Tech support POV, there is no “standard” OS and troubleshooting the vast different environments would be a pain. With Windows, you have a standard layout, with couple different versions - Home / Pro / Enterprise. With linux, you have different syntax, differnt DE’s, etc. Still use Linux at home / work but i am interested in it. Got to have that motivation to do so.

Same thing with moving to Lemmy, gotta have that motivation to make the change.

What's the best app for Youtube right now?

Years ago I used NewPipe but when I wanted a little more from my app I switched the ReVanced until it started giving me more and more issues. For the past 3 months or so I’ve been using a cracked Youtube Premium app, but now it’s dropping every video after about a minute. So what’s everyone using these days to avoid all of...

codenul,

May I suggest freetube?

Desktop client that emulates having a YouTube subscription / account. Sponserblock can be turned on. Can add channels, have a feed of videos, watched videos disappear when watched, etc.

codenul,

Have you heard about /e/OS?

/e/OS

Been using it for a out 3 months now and been enjoying it. Found it after Aurora became slightly unusable. Built in tracker blocker is nice

codenul,

The accounts that they use were rate limited to login attempts and made the store unusable. The workaround is to open the Google Play page for the app in a browser and opening it up in “another app” in which Aurora should take over. It might be fixed but hasn’t been an issue on /e/os.

I agree that /e/os looks boring or looks like iOS but doesn’t every Android OS look the same to some degree? They are redesigning the UI in an upcoming release.

The main I like /eOS is the built in tracker blocker.

codenul,

Love the “handwriting” tool that is on Tinkercad. Allows me to sign my prints before giving them out
