I wouldn’t consider a 8700k or a 2080 super high level specs or even mid level right now.
Consider that an 8700k is slower than a 13400f today which is considered the absolute lower end of the mid range, realistically 13600k or 13700 is the mid range on the intel side.
To be blunt the 8700k is 5 years old.
The 2080s is well look at this chart and you make a decision 
I think a lot of people are just not appreciative of how out of date their hardware is relative to consoles atm
I’m half way on that journey, went from Rpi4 to M2 Mac Mini to host docker stuff and god knows how much in hard drives.
Really should look at used ones
When my m2 air is eventually supported by linuxbproperly the debian installation will happen.
I used IRC daily religiously for 15 years, but around 2011 I just stopped and never got back into using it. The client of choice was Xchat.
Apple Pay every day, and before that Google Pay. I haven’t really used cash in years.
There’s a very rare exception for like one store I visit that requires cash with an ATM next-door so I just pay by cash then but otherwise I’m using my phone/watch for all payments.
If you have a pi kicking around or a docker instance of pihole you can use it to take over dhcp of the router and then set the dns servers in pihole.
That’s what I do currently on my home hub
Well there’s the fact that it’s somewhat true as for example if you use a chromium based browser on Linux hardware acceleration isn’t enabled by default and borderline doesn’t work a lot of the time.
Doesn’t sound so bad till you realise what it does to battery life on a laptop.
I love Linux and we are so close but it’s small things like that, which prevent me getting friends and family to use it consistently.
I think it’s a huge battery drain compared to all the alternatives, liftoff for example with Lemmy despite using it just as much as I did the official app in testing consumed less than half the battery life. Apollo also consumed about half of the official Reddit app while using Reddit so I dunno.
Also the constant promoted posts are just horrible to deal with.
You know that’s not a Manjaro problem that’s a user problem, you’re specifically warned that AUR compatibility is not guaranteed with Manjaro https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository
But people often ignore this and then complain that Manjaro isn’t stable.
And yes Manjaro is fully rolling just because they delay packages a week doesn’t stop it being rolling, that’s like calling tumbleweed not a rolling release?
I’m not arguing that Manjaro is better or worse than Arch just that if you use it as intended it functions correctly and is a good way to learn Linux and Arch.
I don’t think I would want to live in a world without cheese.
I think only endeavour and Manjaro still hold any use of the arch based distros.
Endeavour generally has nice tools and is pretty much what you’d do with the install script so it just saves a few steps.
Manjaro because it’s a gateway into learning arch for better or worse.
But other than those two I don’t see the point of any other arch distros other than to be made for the sake of it.
(I forgot steam os 3, but that’s a different topic)
My Reddit account was 2013 so just about 10 years this month when I left.
This is pretty much the best answer, Debian with flatpak is your best option as it will be the most familiar and the safest bet.
Another alternative is to go the Arch route, which comes with its own headaches.
I don’t think you should be afraid of asking for help, the ones that will offer help are usually going to be very patient.
in recent years I’d say Dizzie Rascal.
In my entire lifetime that award goes to Mandela
It’s definitely progress and seeing myself in one of the top results was nice but it’s going to take a lot more work and tbh the decentralised nature of the links might also hurt because clicking on the dbzero link looks like a hackerman link if you know what I mean
I mean that may or may not be the case, I can’t speak for all of them but it’s definitely a challenge to build a new community from scratch and it’s a lot of work.
It’s not for everyone and 99% of people who say they can or could do it are full of shit.
The most useful comment in this entire thread, the search results are a bit of a mess currently and that’s a huge stumbling block.
I tried a simple search query with lemmy and the way results come back is not good
it’s going to take a long time for that to change but just as a casual user I doubt I’d click anything past the first few reddit links.
I think they are trying to come up with an exit strategy to another platform. The more they put this off and delay and delay the less likely they are to gain any traction of users to move, if anything I think it’s just an excuse to not move as you said later.
In reality, it’s just an excuse to put off the inevitable. They really don’t want to rebuild, so it’s all or nothing and a tough thing to let go.
Truth is they don’t want to leave reddit and most moderators had their bluff called about the situation. I’m not saying they’re power hungry or spez was right but they don’t want to leave because it’s too difficult for them to start over and build communities or they don’t have the skills to do it. Some might dislike the lack of prestige as well who knows. However, they’re sticking around clearly because they don’t want to leave and deep down inside they have hope that something will change and they will go back to the old normal, some will come to accept the new normal and change their minds.
I’ve personally been down this route before where I invested thousands of man hours into communities but sometimes you just need to know it’s time to move on close up shop and do something else, I just don’t think most of the people who moderate on Reddit have the stomach for it.
Depends on the time of the year,
During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days
