You can have links open in NewPipe by setting it in Android's settings:

Settings -> Apps -> All apps -> NewPipe -> Open by default

And then set things up in there

They also host a Matrix instance at https://chat.mozilla.org!

https://floorp.app

Firefox fork with features like the sidebar, vertical tabs, and more. It's a vivaldi-like gecko browser, give it a shot.

In this case, I would check out the Floorp browser. It is a Firefox fork that plans to be more like Vivaldi and have lots of features, including vertical tabs.

Yes, because I want my friends (who aren't tech orientated) and interest groups (which aren't tech orientated) to be on the Fediverse.

They're always complaining about this, that, and the other about the big platforms but they have so many hang ups regarding Fedi software, so they don't use them.

A lot of it is perception, but you have to try and make it so people don't have those perceptions or break them.

I don't get this take - because if this was the plan, why not just shut Twitter down straight away instead of whatever is going on right now?

The actions of the platform don't indicate they're trying to kill it, just that they have really bad ideas trying to make money off it.

Hmm? I'm sorry, I'm not following because all distributions follow the same format here, which is that you flash an ISO to a USB stick (or other removable media).

This is, in fact, how it also works for Windows.

I definitely agree their website needs work, it is very confusing to browse if you need anything other than the net installer! I find everything else by using search engines instead.

Your issue seems less the command line and that things aren't "working", or the tools you want aren't pre-packaged.

Using Arch Linux was not the best idea if you want something that "just works", as it works on a philosophy where you install the minimum amount required and then add things, such as drivers or packages, as you need them. In other words, it's a distribution where you know what you need for your system. It is also a command-line centric distribution, so it's strange that "GUI" is your bug bear when you picked one that deliberately forces command line.

Regarding overclocking and GPU configuration, you just get CoreCtrl, which even has a GUI.

Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that everything should have a user interface as much as possible, but the whole "Linux means you have to use command line all the time!!" is simply just not true anymore, and I feel this issue comes from people recalling memories from 10 years ago or using distributions where command line is necessary, rather than something like Ubuntu or Linux Mint where it mostly isn't.

Have people installed Debian since Debian 12? The installer is very straight forward, and Debian 12 also comes with all the firmware modules to make things "just work" for people.

I would like to know exactly what Debian does wrong other than a blanket statement of "it's hard".

Yes - but the vast majority of people are not going to be downloading forks or modified versions of software, they will always get it directly from the source.

The "default", so to speak, has a lot of power.

Petitions have weight providing they're coming from the right places. There's a difference between the random internet petitions that random users make, and petitions coming from bodies such as unions or regulatory bodies.

This is a petition being put forward from a well known organisation, so I would gather it actually has some weight.
