To answer questions 1, 2, and 3:

1. Yes you can 👍

2. yep, do your rice. Maybe visit the Unixporn community.

3. For the most part (in MY experience) changing DEs only involves installing the desktop package, choosing your login manager, and then removing the old DE and its native apps (unless you want to keep them)

Sorry to hear that 😅 I’ll give ya an upvote to balance things

unfortunately, I was never able to find the real author for this art. (The credits in the bottom right of the screenshot are not from the real author) https://imgur.com/a/1up4lRL here is a imgur link for you to enjoy it tough, and feel free to tell me in case you find the source for it :P

Thank u

Which one is this?

The fdroid repos can get kinda outdated. But in my personal experience, the app has shown no issues. I guess being compliant with the tirrent protocols is all that matters for it to work.

There isnt much to say about how to use it. Just install the app, search for a torrent you want to download (be it via a magnet link, or a .torrent file) and thats it.

Just install the libretorrent and you’re good to go, its pretty easy and straight foward. https://www.f-droid.org/packages/org.proninyaroslav.libretorrent/

Rhythmbox

Apparently, its only okay to make spyware when its made by a US or European company

EDIT: Just want to point out that that’s not what OP said, it’s just a trend I often see around the Lemmy community

Wish all the best for both of you ❤

Source?

I thought the joke would be that it was gonna sting itself 💀 goofy ahh me

I’m not saying latin america has seized relations with US, just pointing out some of the reasons why China is growing its influence on the continent. Their friendly prices and big investments are much more appealing than empty US promises, as shown in the Summit of the Americas

Latin America is NOT US’s space. This imperialist view of the world that some west nations show is the reason why Latin America is distancing from them

I use Linux for about 2 years

Up until February this year, I was still using a 14 year old DDR2 desktop. Windows 10 started to get quite slow and had some annoying crashes (mainly the fault of my goofy old hardware, of course)

I learned about Linux as an alternative through a Linux Tech Tips video about gaming on Linux, and Valve’s announcement of the Steam Deck, I was also interested in FOSS apps as alternative to proprietary ones.

Decided to try Linux Mint. With no prior experience with Linux, lack of luck finding good tutorials, and some weird thing happening with my games not launching, I had a very rough start.

But thanks to Mint, suddenly my DDR2 desktop got a lot smoother :D also, all of my drivers worked out of the box, and I got very surprised with Linux’s plug-and-play hardware capabilities.

So I decided to learn how to use it, tinkered alot with my system, and broken it alot! It was kind of frustrating, but fun at same time.

And without noticing, I had already learned lots about Linux from a more technical, and then, philosophical point of view.

Now I’m a great fan of Linux and FOSS, and have been helping friends to move to it by giving support with issues I had in the past.

Oh, I didn’t mean to oppose your post or anything! My bad 😅, Just tried to point some things out.
