Mbin is a fork and continuation of /kbin, but community-focused.

Kbin was destined to fail without opening up to community collaboration. I greatly preferred it over lemmy. So I will stick with Mbin now and Kbin.earth has been a small but nice Mbin instance.

Kbin.earth is on mbin, I think kbin is dead.

+1 for Endeavour if you basically want easy to install Arch with the very minimal preinstalled.

There’s CachyOS too if you want a few more tweaks OOTB.

Arch has definitely been my fav so far, the wiki is unmatched. I stuck with EOS.

If they add AI they better not ask me for any money ever again.

I see some servers with hardly any, some with lots, the cat ears are popular. It depends on the communities you look in. Obviously the majority use Discord completely free, but there’s a significant amount of Nitro subscribers and a good portion of them are also buying things in the shop.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

People actually use the shop. they are spending $10-20 on a profile picture border. Now you are telling them that they can get them for “free”? You bet people will do it. Paid cosmetics have poisoned minds.

If it’s websites that are breaking, maybe you are using some really aggressive blocklist. Also, you can use multiple blocklists and assign clients to them however you please.

Discord users won’t move to Matrix. It would be Revolt or maybe Teamspeak, but even that might be too technical.

That’s hypocrisy, not irony.

What else has such a catalog? Going to be hard to persuade creators to host their own content with ads and subscriptions.

Never said it was the fault of the creators, I love the idea of Linux and wish it was the mainstream desktop OS, then none of these issues would really exist. I only have issue with people pretending it’s so simple to change to it from Windows, which is just almost never true.

I have an Nvidia card because it was the best option for me at the time I bought it, Valve’s Proton hadn’t matured enough for Linux to even be considered for gaming at that time (other Linux quirks aside). As much as I support FOSS, I love playing a variety of games with friends and that just wasn’t going to be feasible with Linux 5-6 years ago. I wasn’t going to dual-boot when I would end up spending most of my time in Windows anyway and the rest of my time troubleshooting Linux.

Now AMD has released a good card, Proton is really good and Linux has progressed further to where I can seriously consider it. With Windows 10 support ending, I am very likely to jump ship.

I have Nvidia yeah and quickly learnt that I wasn’t going to get it working smoothly and went back to Windows. If I manage to get a RRP 9070XT, then I will try Linux again.

I hate the “stop using windows” comments, when it’s quite impossible to have the same experience without specific hardware and setups.

Can I run multi-monitor high refresh rates without the desktop slugging? Last time I seriously tried switching to Linux, this seemingly simple setup in 2024 was too much for it to handle.

I had the same experience, I think the simplest way is to just have servers separated like they are now in Discord, and you can join them and chat in them even if you signed up at a different server.

Yeah, this poor kid he drags around probably won’t end up with the same outlook as she does.

That’s how it is unfortunately. The best way to get people on Matrix would be by communities hosting on Matrix and advertising that actively in their Discord guilds. Providing simple instructions to pick a client and sign up. Show people they can customise how they like etc, that will help, people love shiny things. Once you have people signed up and using the platform, then they can figure out the federation by being exposed to it.

Cool, regardless of what terms she might have broken. She is still a human, they can treat her like one.
