I’m here because it’s eventually going to be the better alternative.
FOSS by its nature, will keep on improving. And proprietary bloatware, by its nature, will only gonna get worse.
I do truly believe fediverse is the future. I also like it because it’s a bit closer conceptually to old-school forums, each hosted as its own server. With a difference here of added convenience of inter-connectibility. It’s also so cool to be the early adopter with the tech still a bit rough around the edges.
fediverse, eli5?
You are in your house, I am in mine. But we can still watch movies together through your window.
This is how I watch all my movies now, I had to find a way that Netflix can’t crack down on
What I am not understanding is the concept of logging in another server. I created an account on feddit.it, can I use this account to login in a mastodon website? Or does it work the other way around, with me just using the feddit.it website (like I’m doing right now) to consume content from other instances? With the second option, if feddit.it goes down, my account is done, right?
That’s what I think happens but I’d like to know too
based on the same concepts as email, you pick your provider (instance) and you can get messages from anyone using a provider supporting the protocol. The naming system is similar @<username>@instance and !<community>@instance
The year of the fediverse can’t come soon enough
It should come right after year of the Linux.
Then we’re doomed. I use linux (Fedora) as my daily drive, but I don’t see it becoming more popular than Windows in the near future.
The Linux Desktop has been improving by leaps and bounds over the last few years.
More popular than the OS with majority market share is an unrealistically high bar for success. I could totally see linux become a mainstream desktop OS at some point.
Gaming is the biggest thing that prevents me from switching entirely to Linux, unfortunately
It was my main concern, so I dualboot (my main drive 500gb SSD runs Fedora while I have another SSD of 1TB with Windows 10).
Most games I play are running flawless on fedora (rn I’m playing No Mans Sky), as most Steam Games (you can check protondb for your favorite titles) and I’ve been more than a month without booting windows, but other titles as Fortnite can’t run on Linux.
For your games on Epic and GOG you can use Heroic Launcher. Gaming on Linux is getting easier on daily basis.
