    I made the switch to Linux and Lemmy right around the same time. Once I was free of it all it was like relaxing a muscle I didn’t know had been tense for decades. Android is next… Just as soon as I figure out jellyfin…

        No questions in particular as of yet. Still assembling hardware. I’m going for a server built on a NAS

      I also just switched to Linux! Well dual booting Windows for now but only for gaming really, and until I figure out if Ardour is good enough for me for music production. But still: Microsoft has nothing except my game saves now, no tax documents or web history, etc.

      What distro did you go with?

      I’m also looking into making a home server to ditch streaming services and so I dont need 250 GB of music on my. phone. Got to be able to afford the RAM though…

        Mint. I’m not a “tech genius” and it was presented as an easy intro to Linux. I feel no need to distro hop, getting by just fine with my little minty penguin thank you very much!

          Mint is pretty legit. Their Cinnamon desktop is looking a lot prettier these days too.

          I landed on Fedora KDE because I need gaming features like VRR, still wanted features like Secure Boot, and a distro with a lot of users and documentation.
