Works nicely as a phone distribution though (in the form of postmarketOS).

Quarter tiling is huge on a 4K screen. I use a 4K screen when I'm doing YouTube programming videos sometimes and want to have OBS, a camera preview, an HDMI capture preview, and sometimes an app I want to put on screen open at the same time and quarter tiling is great for this. I currently have to use an extension to get this functionality on GNOME, but it would be awesome to have it built in.

Install fresh copy of Linux OS on a new device. Install the apps I know I need like browser, code editor, etc.
Use device.
Realize "oh crap I forgot to install X!"
Install X
Repeat until all X have been installed.
There's never a bad time to switch to Linux! The best time may have already passed, but the second best time is now!
It's more of "NVIDIA bad" than "AMD good". AMD does what is expected in the Linux world, to make open source drivers that are part of the Mesa project. That shouldn't be an amazing feat of awesomeness, that should just be standard procedure. However, when the competition is so horrifically bad at drivers on Linux, following the standard makes AMD look amazing. For what it's worth, I have an Intel Arc A770 on my Linux setup and it works great. Intel also follows the standard procedure of making their drivers open and part of the Mesa project. However, AMD has been in the graphics card (and driver) game for much longer and their drivers have a lot more optimization, plus Valve has put work into making AMD's drivers better for gaming workloads over the past several years (especially given the Steam Deck runs an AMD GPU). Hopefully Intel gets more performance parity with AMD in the Linux driver world as time goes on. It's definitely gotten much better since launch already.
As for NVIDIA, maybe NVK can make them even sort of useful without the nasty proprietary drivers but reverse engineered drivers are always going to take longer to get anywhere near the same performance of ones written based on actual official documentation.
There's a user style that makes Lemmy a lot like old.reddit and it's awesome.

DIGGing you say?
100% agree. Free and open software is free because the developers are also the users, the goal is to collectively produce something that is as good as it can be for the user. Proprietary software is created by a company and targeted at users who are not the developers, the developers usually have little to no stake in the usefulness of the software, it's just a means to an end. That end is always money, so exploiting the user becomes the goal.
I like Mastodon, but I like Lemmy more. That said, I liked Reddit a lot more than Twitter so it makes sense I'd prefer Lemmy. I'd rather follow topics than people, and Mastodon/Twitter are about following people (yes you can subscribe to hashtags on Mastodon, but it isn't the same).
That said, I still have and use both.
I like the moon in the background and I like that it is stylistically similar to the Firefox icon. My only complaint is the eye, not really a fan of the swoosh effect on the eye.
