i just use a VM of Tiny10, usually runs as fast as Windows would normally run

you could always do what my chanology roommate in college used to do and physically switch out SATA HDD's whenever you need to change OSes

Yeah thats what i'm going to do i think.

Wait what the fuck i thought the color was based off the site colors, why is everyone just green or red HAHAHA

i take it as post type, even before the avatars had a stripe to the side that indicated the post type. iirc its blue for ur own avatar above, green for just text post, red for site update?

I would have never have guessed, i thought for a moment red meant supporter. Thats very curious

Zhongvie is right, the colors are solely dependent on post type

debian with kde plasma

If you've never tried Linux before, Mint is a good place to start. If you want an optimized distro for gaming, CachyOS seems to be the place to be rn. If you want something stupidly stable that can run on older hardware, Debian's a good choice. And if you just want something that's good overall, Fedora seems to be a good pick.

And if you want something that radically redefines security and eats through RAM like nothing else because it turns every window/program into its own VM, pick Qubes OS

Thank you all for the input. I should have clarified ive used mint for awhile, but the past couple of weeks ive been installing/trying stuff out with my free space + virtual machines. I’ve been getting very into linux so ill likely make a blogpost (or a few) about it haha

ive been using mx linux mostly bc its among the only one my poor baby laptop can run (2gb ram :skull:) but its honestly been pretty good, i like its package installer UI (but im also super baby with linux so ive got no experience outside of that)

I use fedora and KDE on all my machines, if you want a plug and play distro Aurora is pretty good and hard to mess up, although you cant go wrong with good ol Debian.

I'm going to be completely honest i've tried to install arch about 6 times but keep running issues with dual booting in the grub bootloader. I do think its an attractive system (outside of the memes/clout) but fedora and debian are tempting me to. I really wish i was smart enough to get more of the deep differences between distros

honestly there is not going to be a tangible difference for the majority of people (and that is a good thing) so unless you run into specific issues with some packages that in the unlikely event cannot be solved you really cant go wrong with whatever seems the most appealing.

thank u so much!!! i love the layout of ur site ... great game tastes!!!

Thank you so much! I'm super new to making music so the encouragement means a lot haha. I lock in so hard when i see a page about worldbuilding or ocs so i enjoyed looking at your projects

Thank you so much!

Dang. Had no clue this was a thing.... considering moving a good chunk of my site to independent hosting now...

holy shit i SAID this was going to happen. i knew it. i saw the commit that made this possible the week after it was posted. something about refactoring the admin console idr what the commit number was.

c985251, 20th august 2025: "report interface refactor"

commit e837653 also makes it possible to revoke supporter status if such a site is shadowbanned

I'm surprised since according to the page my neocities site has also been listed as 18+ (no 18+ option in the settings tab) but i haven't been shadowbanned as far as site visits go

@badgraph1csghost honestly, I am not smart enough to understand the meat of this so im just gonna wait to see if you make a blog post about this haha

LMFAO APPARENTLY KYLE DRAKES OWN NEOCITIES HAS ALSO BEEN AUTOTAGGED AS 18+

ok apparently the reason my visit count has gone down is because my site is NOT tagged nsfw? It seems like the 18+ page in settings may just be gone for everyone, since i could not find my site among the nsfw listings

admittedly im not great at js but from what i can read of the code changes on those 2 commits, 251 makes it so the admin console doesnt bother seeking confirmation for an nsfw flag and 653 shows a user's supporter status to admins. afaik supporter status can be changed from the admin console already.
