MX Linux is my daily atm. I tend to hop around every few months (normally I use Mint.). Honestly, I’m enjoying it far more than Mint and don’t see that changing.
Dunno about what’s up with distrowatch; just chiming in as that one MX Linux person.
I use Xfce daily. I honestly prefer it to others. Never had any issues with it, either.
I just set this up a few nights ago. It’s been really nice!
What is this plastic frisbee assed boomerang looking horror…
Also on the latest Mint. I really like it. I was previously on PopOS and enjoyed that, too.
I’m glad to see apps being made for Lemmy, but being open source for me is a must.
Thanks!
I’m going to try that one out and see how I like it. Btw your avatar is very cute!
I don’t have any particular needs for a launcher, but I just like having options for things, etc.
Honestly, looking through a few I’ve seen so far… they just aren’t terribly appealing. I’ll probably be in the same boat as you.
UGH that is awful.
Thanks for posting that. Goodbye Nova.
Are there any launchers that are recommended?
I second f-droid. It’s really good!
I’m using NewPipe for a YouTube replacement, but I hear good things about ReVanced!
Thanks for clarifying!
Thank you!
It looks like FreeTube actually has the option to route through invidious for all of those benefits. That’s really cool!
Thanks!
I had no idea there was a new fork(?) of Vanced. I was actually using Vanced previously, and really enjoyed that. Does it still require you to have a Google / YouTube account to login, or can it pull a NewPipe / FreeTube with profiles?
Thanks for the recommendation.
I’m using Linux right now, and glad to see they have it on Flathub. I think I’ll give that a try now!
This.
The ads and content are delivered via the same way, so blocking one blocks the others.
Oh gosh, that’s unfortunate.
Good thing I’ve been using NewPipe! I’m reading the post for other alternatives, but feel free to suggest some to me directly, if you’d like.
Just about everything, really. I’m not a Linux wizard or anything, just to preface.
I like the amount of control it lets me have over everything while also not allowing me to “accidentally” the whole everything. I like that it’s fast and not resource intensive. Love that I can run it on my crunchy old netbook, and yet also my gaming desktop. Also like that it’s Xfce which I’m fond of.
I guess most of that can also apply to many other distros, too. To summarize, suppose I just prefer it.
