i use lemmy sometimes which is like a federated version of reddit, it feels like you get the same content served to you no matter what on most of these platforms so i only get on it like once a week to catch up on niche communities. Bluesky seems to be the big one right now though.

I like using Instagram to keep in touch with my irls and family but I rarely post. Apparently a lot of artists are using Twitter/Bluesky but that style of social media has always been really confusing to me. Twitter is especially confusing now because of all the AI shit/Grok/whatever it's not even really worth it to use social media in the big 26 imo

I only use Tumblr, Bluesky and Instagram but mostly to promote my shit and look at other artists while i'm there. I don't really use social media, as made evident by the fact i don't have any personal social media accounts.

i only really use insta/tumblr, twitter is nightmarish and bluesky never really appealed to me. insta is where i talk to my IRL friends and tumblr has a lot of great artists

I usually use Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit, and Newgrounds but I'm mainly active on the former two.

I actually love void, its probably my one of my favorite distros out of the ones i tried. I'm currently trying out Arch and NixOS because I want to give those more of a shot, but Void and Arch are my favorites. The only negative to void is that theres not as many packages and that a fair amount of packages require more setup because of relying on systemd, but if you don't want to use systemd then void's great.

been thinking about giving Void a try. I've heard some stuff about compatibility issues due to the lack of systemd or the fact that some programs have to be compiled from source code due to Void's package manager. Still, if you're still going strong after a few weeks i'll probably give it a try this summer

have they added full-disk encryption to the installer yet? i remember testing and really liking it a few years ago but that put me off using it as my main distro

@taibhse apparently yes: https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/guides/fde.html

I will likely eventually post about my experience later on but so far i haven't seen anything missing. Anything i couldnt find i just got on flatpak, you can also double check here https://voidlinux.org/packages/ I want to say it was easier to install then arch, but a little tougher then something like fedora/mint that has a visual GUI.

@just-a-husk i know about that, i meant in the installer. i don't want to have to do it manually. i remember there was an issue or PR about it like 5 years ago but i don't think they've done anything with it to this day

The classic Linux experience right here. Mint my beloved, Arch not working and fucking Gentoo

i'm starting to understand this urge to tinker with something, especially tech. there were thoughts in my mind like "i should try installing arch, mint was easy so this MUST be easy too!", but after reading this i don't think i'll have that thought ever again

Try the flatpak version of Steam if you did not already! if you have any issues like with Steam definitely give Aurora a shot, its also Fedora, it is immutable, comes with all the libraries/software you might need, and its made by the same people who make Bazzite (also great).

@sclptures If you're interested in Arch but too nervous to install, I recommend EndeavorOS or CachyOS. There *is* also an Archinstall script for Arch that helps with the installation but i've heard of some people having issues. Also if i'm being honest, and i probably should have included this, If i wasn't dualbooting on the same disk Arch probably would have worked way better/out the box

there's a whole page about it here https://control-neocities-thumbnail.neocities.org/
