Ubuntu and debian based distros have been a long time favorite. Recently switched to Fedora and the Cinnamon desktop. It has a nice feel and user experience as well.

What is difficult now is the base OS to choose, but also the desktop experience. I think the desktop choice is also what makes the Linux experience and distro choice for people these days.

Seems like a great reuse for a new selfhost style community using lemmy/kbin. How much are you asking for it, or willing to part for it?

Take a look at these guides. They explain a lot as well about Kbin

It’s a good one once you find it!

A bit of some camouflage and a lazy cat. Maybe where’s Washy for @[email protected]

Isn’t markdown great!

An account activation email could work too right. Not let the account do anything until it’s been clicked on the activation email by the user? Not so say that isn’t bypass-able either.

I finally got AltStore working then saw the TestFlight. Got both and interested to see what else AltStore can do too.

Trying out the Thunder app too!

Only need one account and can interact across the fediverse. If there’s a community you like on another instance you can interact with the posts and users there too. An instance is kinda like an email account. We all have our own preferred provider and can send an email to another.

This might help a little too https://fediverse.info/

Also is there a 2FA option that can be enabled for users?

I think that is the great part, somehow it has stayed relatively small. Some of the federation is overkill since I've seen folks posting the same article 100 different places even though we see if on the other sites across the fediverse and platforms.

Yunohost I’ve seen before, need get some more use if it and install a few things!!

@[email protected] posted about this new resource as well: Lemmy Community Explorer

It's not any official reddit to fediverse guide, but a way to find other communities as well across the fediverse and lemmy platform.

I've been using linux for a long time. Typically stuck with Ubuntu and upgrading when the next LTS was released. I did try other flavors like ubuntu budgie as well. Also liked ZorinOS for a year or two.

Then things like elementary were fun to use, but for a daily driver, I like a little more main stream OS and desktop experience.

Currently using Fedora cinnamon for the last year. I have some VMs that probably stay the longest, but for my personal laptop, I usually spend a year or two on it.

For basic word processing and excel like items I’ve used it and recommend it for others. Especially when I’m on my Linux desktop. I’ve used it for some small businesses as well so they could open and send files for work.

ZeroTier is great! There’s another one out there I know of that haven’t used.
