That depends on a couple of things:

If you have a separate partition for /home (your personal data) it is pretty easy since you can reinstall the system, leave /home untouched during installation and just configure it to be used as /home in your new setup.

This does not work if you either do not have a separate /home partition or you encrypt your system via LUKS.

It technically still is possible in the aforementioned cases but involves expert knowledge and probably a lot of manual steps which I’d say for you and me it probably is impractical.

Games such as The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are getting totally free upgrades, too.

Not sure what upgrade I can expect from Pokémon though. Now we can enjoy 20fps in 4K

Agreed. But as long as people don’t actively leave Lemmy in favor of the new service I’d be okay with it I guess. I mean it would still be cool if Lemmy grew larger but hey, we got a nice little community here

Looks good! 🤩

One example that I think is a step backward: "Search term persistence ". I don’t want this, I want to be able to see the URL I’m visiting. I think I’m able to remember what my search was. This UX “improvement” doesn’t add any value at all, it straight up removes value.

To be fair, there are features I like, though: Moving the search buttons into a separate menu is a good choice if you ask me.

Also, this all is highly subjective.

Same here!

Seems like apart from the new features the UI gets a fresh design as well. That’s all personal taste however, I’m just glad they finally implement native tab groups 🤩

Also, just remove all the featured articles bs, nobody cares about the articles (I know that’s not gonna happen, but I had to vent for a second)

No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software. Lol 💀

In my personal opinion: Yes. Wine is great and all, but in the end it’s an emulation layer that - in the worst case - requires a lot of tweaking. I personally wouldn’t want to spend that time so a VM sounds like a good option. But again, depending on the context (e.g. limited hardware resources or the amount of time available) you might be totally fine with Wine.

I don’t see any need for BlueSky at all when there already is a great network in the form of Mastodon. I mean all (most) of the ideas you mentioned apply one-to-one to Mastodon as well. To me they have very similar ideas.

And it once again shows why federated social media rocks 😎
