Can't wait for the tech reviews on this thing.

Imagine doing a 720 motion input for turning off your computer

As far as I can tell, content published via the Nostr protocol cannot be deleted, and this seems to be using it, so there's that. Also, it seems like it allows you to easily send crypto to the video creator...? There's also the fact that, whenever multiple are watching the same video at the same time, Peertube can pretty much create a P2P network to speed up download speeds, which I think no other video platform does.

When talking about cool programs, you can't forget the classic cowsay

I guess (almost) everyone here wants to recommend their own distro

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I haven't seen anyone mentioning this yet, so I will: if you're looking for the most accessible way to use Linux, nothing beats Endless OS. It's a Linux distribution that is built specifically with ease of use and offline usage in mind (if you don't know what a "distribution" is, feel free to ask). It's pretty different from Windows (the user interface is nothing alike, you should download every program/app from the App Center instead of downloading from your browser), but I think you'd get the gist of it quickly.

Now, whether you would want to change to Linux or not greatly depends on what you use your computer for. If you use your computer mostly for browsing the Internet and making Word documents, then I think you should change. If you play videogames on your computer, but mostly via Steam, then Linux won't be bad. But if your work depends on something like Adobe Photoshop and you really aren't available to using any other program, then you would not want tochange to Linux, because Photoshop isn't compatible with it.

TL;DR: Have a look at Endless OS; and please share what you use your computer for / what devices other than a normal keyboard and mouse you normally connect to your computer, so we can help you determine whether you should just switch to Linux or not.

Thank you for bringing up nushell, had never heard of it

Yes, you just have to change a file, apt update and you're good to go. https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Using__a_text_editor (you probably want to add contrib, non-free and non-free-firmware)

This. If you want to start coding on your own computer, the Python IDLE is great for beginners (it's probably inside a package named idle). Just click on 'File > New' to start writing a new program and press the F5 key to run it!

Since we're sharing YouTube videos around, I suggest this video by Jeff Geerling about how to legally own and stream media (Piped link)

Really liked the video! It maybe was just me, but the intro/outro song felt a bit too loud though...
