Honestly I've really enjoyed Zorin. It's made life simple when it comes to migrating friends and family to Linux. Specifically the way they handle fonts and scaling in office programs when opening Microsoft files. It's been easy to get my wife to get off of windows after they started bombarding her with adds on her fuckin desktop screen.

Microsoft is hardly one to be involved in this. They're just as bad in different ways. But. As far as search goes, I think it's incredibly simple to change search engines but the problem is Google doesn't give users that choice up front when installing chrome but even if they did most people don't give a shit and will just use Google anyway.

I use Amazon kindle to have my books synced across everything but I only use a burner Amazon and make sure I have my epubs backed up on a calibre server just in case they kill that account. Never buy digital shit from Amazon especially. They always pull this kind of thing.

Is there any links/guides on how to get into the usenet side of things? I've been using torrents forever but people keep saying usenet is safer.

Use Smaller Cards view mode and there isn't adds.....

I stopped using pocket casts after they switched to a subscription model. That really pissed me off. I've tried antennapod but the syncing isn't the best.

Man. YT Music's podcast support is sorely lacking. I've been using Google podcasts for a couple years and now I've gotta go find a new client that syncs play across multiple devices.

I was maybe 10 hours of work into a small side project and I just said fuck it and started over in Godot. No reason to use Unity unless you are a studio that's deep into development or supporting a game that's already out.

Automated book grabbing is very hard imo. I've tried readarr and a bunch of other things. I settled on just manually downloading what I want and sending to kindle. There isn't going to be a good automated setup until indexers get better for ebooks or readarr somehow adds support for irc downloads.

Second stremio. I use the torrentio addon without rd but always with vpns. It's a backup for me for when my main nas goes down so I don't want to pay for rd.
