When XFCE supports it.

I pirate everything. If they gain my respect, I then buy it. For example I bought a copy of Witcher 3 I never actually played (because I pirated it).

It’s Signal Foundation’s hostility to open and non-Google platforms that is very disturbing.

Better than USA-based.

All of that is more reliable then an entity based in the US.

orange pi looks very promising

It’s more the attitude that bothers me. Signal’s refusal to support alternative appstores and clients is very disturbing. It gives the impression that Signal is a honeypot.

I’m not using Signal as long as Signal Foundation is based in the US. Also Signal is not on FDroid, so I can’t use it anyway.

he’s future proofing his archive. I have a bunch of 420p tv shows from 15 years ago that looks horrible now.

I use ubuntu because my provider has that by default. It’s not my favourite distro these days, but gets the job done.

I was a happy Ubuntu user for more than a decade and I agree that it’s a good beginners distro. I am now using Manjaro, which is also very good. In fact, Manjaro might even be more beginner friendly because it support Flatpak out of the box.

I had a similar question: https://lemmy.ml/post/12919434

Docker makes sense if you are deploying thousands of machines in the cloud. I don’t think it makes as much sense if you have your own hardware.

Some services do have 1-line installers with docker, so those might be useful. But they usually have 1-line non-docker installers too.
