Back in early 2000s I ran Gentoo as daily driver for a year, while almost a Linux noob, but eager to learn. Installation instructions were long, but excellent.
It was fun, and worked well, but in the end the long compilation times got the better of me. Now I heard they are including binary packages, so the itch is coming back.
Right now running opensuse tumbleweed, which works fine, sometimes too smoothly.
Looks really good!
Any chance of user set and saved groupings of communities, like multi reddits, in the future?
With the improvements listed here, combined with the latest mobile clients, some way to group similar interest communities, would make it almost feature complete, for me :)
Why not? OpenBSD on a Thinkpad was a very good experience until I needed bluetooth and some other things not supported at the time. Maybe not as fast as the more optimized Linux distros but good enough for me, and more things Just Worked than with most Linux distros I tried on the same machine.
Yup, and this is even more needed on Lemmy than it was on Reddit, as you might have several communities on different instances for the same subject, like imaginary example - rust@lemmy.ml + rust@lemmy.world and rust@programming.dev… Right now afaict if you want to view your “Rust feed” specifically, you would have to open 3 different communities manually?
Just wait until September… ;)
Running Tumbleweed as daily driver. Which Debian do you use for your laptop? Never tried it, but the itch is there…
