Ubuntu 12.04. I really tried to use it as a daily but wine wasn’t as good back then, a lot of apps I wanted to run were also platform specific. If a package wasn’t in your distros repo you had to try and build it from source which was really difficult for someone just trying to start with Linux. I tried again with Ubuntu 16.04 and it was better but still wasn’t quite there.

Fast forward to now and I’m actually dailying Bazzite 42. I’m not sure if wine has just improved a ton or proton has helped out a lot but windows compatibility has improved so much in the last decade. As much as everyone hates Electron for being heavier than native apps I would prefer an Electron app over no Linux version. Actually a lot of the apps I want to run now ship Linux versions so I don’t even need wine for most things.

Flatpaks and appimages with Gear Lever have made installing apps on Linux as easy as Windows and MacOS. It might not seem like it but it’s come a long way

Not that it makes a difference, but was his mod for bedrock or java?

I’m running a self hosted Gitlab instance right now but thinking of switching to Forgejo. Anyone tried both and have thoughts on each?

Hmm I’m using it on Bazzite with KDE, which is based off Fedora 42 atomic. I haven’t really noticed any issues with it, though I haven’t printed anything in awhile

I use PrusaSlicer from Flathub. I was using PrusaSlicer on Windows before switching to Linux. I’ve been using it since the original Slic3r stopped getting updates. Because it’s available as a flatpak it should work on pretty much any distro and immutable distros

As someone unfamiliar with Incus is this kinda similar to Proxmox? I would love an immutable version of Proxmox. This seems pretty cool

Bazzite has a KDE version too. I think it is more popular then the GNOME version of bazzite actually. At least according to the results of the latest steam survey

Pinball Deluxe Reloaded

It’s a fun little time waster, I like that I don’t have any ads on it either

I switched to Firefox from Chrome back when they were branding it as Firefox Quantum and honestly I have been happy with it. It has been just as fast as Chrome if not faster, it might use more memory but unused memory means your computer could be caching more.

I don’t love the stuff Mozilla has been doing recently but it’s not enough to make me switch. I think the brand redesign in 2024 was pretty horrible, moz://a was genius design compared to the P thing they have now. I think they have also been chasing AI stuff recently. Mozilla has done some pretty cool things in the past though like Rust, Servo and Fluent.
