Have you used Koreader? That’s one reason I would get a kobo. As well as their new partnership with ifixit.
I also like the idea (which apparently doesn’t work with koreader) of syncing with Pocket. I don’t use Pocket, but would start if it meant I had a nice read it later ereader.
What does kobo do that kindle doesn’t? I’ve been thinking about switching since I damaged my kindle, but calibre works great and I love the kindle hardware.
If those button combos seem strange, on an SNES controller those are opposite directions on each pad. E.g. Y is the leftmost face button.
Go figure. I usually turn rumble off.

The best advice I’ve heard is to not overthink the distribution. There are so many, and the differences are actually a lot smaller than people let on. Most of the differences are cosmetic, and the differences that are not cosmetic are things a beginner wouldn’t notice, like package management policies.
Ubuntu, while not perfect, probably has the most straightforward installation process and is widely used so you can get lots of help online.
Once you get a little more comfortable with Linux, check out the Arch Linux Wiki. It is filled with lots and lots of really good info that usually pertains to all Linux distributions, not just Arch.
Start following different Linux communities on Lemmy and Mastadon, there are many great communities.
Also, there will always be assholes who gate keep - this is not unique to Linux. So ignore the few haters out there, there is an overwhelming majority of super helpful and kind people out there.
It’s actually incredible how good Linux is, and it’s entirely free. No ads, no bullshit, just a rock solid OS. It’s staggering how small a proportion of people use it.
I thought Spotify gave shite royalties.
I ran arch on it for about a year - it’s a gen 9 i5. During that time I had a desktop that ran W10 on a gen 3 i5 and was quite a competent machine. Then with W11 and the TPM requirement that perfectly good windows box became ewaste.
The laptop is fine. Windows 11 is just garbage.
Yeah they transferred all of our network files held on our own private servers over to Teams. I didn’t even know that teams did file storage. I guess through one drive.
I can’t even change the length of time before the screen locks.
No, I can’t.
I only ever beat it with a friend in 2 player. He really carried me, it probably would have been much easier for him in 1P!
I’m a teacher and I have a USB stick full of textbook PDFs. It wouldn’t be cool to email them on my professional account but sneakernet is the ultimate VPN lol
Makes me wonder what has been lost to the trash already.
I have a collection of music videos organized by artist. I have absolutely no idea where I got them from… I forget how I did it and it kills me. I wish I could remember how I set it up - they seem to be better quality than YouTube and only recently got into ytdlp.
If I remember then I’ll post it on here.
Are you joking or are there really psychopaths on this board?
What is the value in federating Nextcloud instances? Sharing calendar info and stuff like that?
Still haven’t played this one. Maybe I’ll play it on PC first!
THPS.
