Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware
  • It's more of a historical problem, and I've always been able to solve it. Not everyone has the time or patience that I do though, especially when it involves changing permissions with flatseal. Overall though, the fedora atomic versions are solid, and it's ok for beginners. It just adds a slight bit of complexity plus less resources for troubleshooting than linux mint or ubuntu.

  • Just from my own experience, many flatpak apps such as Steam, VSCode, or Kdenlive have a lot of issues, and many other flatpaks are maintained by third parties with poor quality control. This isn't Silverblue/Kinoite's fault, but it is still an issue that affects it. For certain machines where drivers aren't included by default, it requires a lot more troubleshooting to install them compared to Linux Mint's driver manager, or even just copying a few commands from the internet on a distro like Fedora.

  • I love mint, and Fedora Cinnamon is my daily driver. My only problem with cinnamon is that wayland support is still being developed, so it lacks 1:1 touchpad gestures.

  • It's a good distro and it is a lot harder to break on accident, but there are a lot more minor kinks than fedora workstation. It can also get confusing for newcomers on the somewhat regular occasion that you need a non-flatpak package.

  • Is there a way to block a community without going to it's page?
  • Not always, I like to sometimes be pleasantly surprised by a community that I didn't know existed without seeing the latest tragic event, political catastrophe, or Elon Musk post along the way that I am all too well aware of. I have nothing against these communities, it's just not the stuff I want to see right now.

  • I'm mostly blocking news/politics stuff because sometimes ignorance is bliss.

  • Thank you everyone for your client recommendations!

    Edit: The Alexandrite web interface allows you to block a community by pressing the three dots next to a post, and this is what I ended up using.

  • Could you link me to that? I can't seem to find it.

  • Huh, kinda weird that it isn't a feature on the web version. I guess I will look for a good client.

    Is there a way to block a community without going to it's page?

    Hi, I am new to Lemmy and I just need help with something kinda QoL-ish. Is it possible to look at a post on the homepage IE http://lemmy.ca, and block the community it is coming from?

    I don't want to have to manually click on the community and go to its page every time I want to block one. Is there like an extension or a specific UI mode that lets you do this? Thanks!
