+1 to ZorinOS recommendation.
It’s beautiful, and has a lot of “oh, you came from Windows” user interactions. Like how it recommends similar programs from the store if you run a Windows installer, or installs and configures wine if you still want to run the .exe.
I use it myself even as an “older” Linux user.
Perfectly balanced, as everything should be
I feel there are a lot of philosophical and practical similarities between the FediVerse and the open source operating system world. That’s why a lot of people tend to be on both.
The thing about the FediVerse is that you are the only responsible for your feed. Try looking for different content, different people, or different instances, to find more content that resonates more with you and follow those accounts and communities.
I’m like that right now waiting for the Winter heat to leave

They have some discount for open source, students and other things. You can send them an email and explain your situation, you’ll never know…
Here’s a tip for you: their beta version (EAP) is always free, but not available all the time, if you’re fine with some plugins not working
I’ve made the move a few years ago. I really like the “IDE” experience instead of the “code editor” one.
“Oh, but it takes so much RAM”, yup… So does all those electron apps I have to use alongside VSCode, that are built in webstorm…
By the way. There’s a mastodon bot called “Inspirational Skeletor” that I find very amusing to follow: https://mas.to/@skeletor
Pixelfed has a “stories” feature. It’s only on the website version (no apps) and it’s labeled as “beta”.
A few things I really liked about this episode:
First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the “Fediverse is not only Mastodon”, but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our “bubble”.
Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @[email protected] go follow her). But Emily always was the “weird person that uses Linux” in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using “alternative social media”. Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn’t get the “Fediverse vibe” from him. Which is good. Very good.
Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.
Jakob, I have a feeling you’re reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.
