I may be extreme, but on those rare occasions when an ad slips through my adblock wall, I actively wonder it there’s a way I can avoid buying that specific product in the future.

That’s how much I hate ads.

I’m ashamed to say that it took me installing Windows 11 on my mother in law’s laptop while running a pihole and seeing the amount of requests to shady data brokers the install wizard made to finally move to Linux.

If I had known how seemless everything is, especially with distros like Bazzite, I would have switched way sooner.

Don’t worry, much like the person wielding it, it will never see any action.

That is exactly why Chromebooks were (are?) so popular. You got a cheap laptop with an easy-to-use OS without having to do any install. And let’s be real here, most people don’t need anything more than a web browser.

Go for Bazzite. It’s basically Steam OS but with extra stuff that makes it “just work”, even on an Nvidia GPU.

Once Valve releases their official Steam OS, you can always switch to it.

Agreed. I hope it doesn’t become so popular that it turns to shit.

But a forum post said it would fix my issue.

It’s no wonder when every other comment on Reddit is an obvious bot. Either the bots here are less obvious or they’re not here yet.

As opposed to other social media platforms like reddit where you can only have one, right? 😜

The problem isn’t that there are no libraries out there that parse Markdown. There are, in fact, plenty for all different languages. The issue is that every site has its own flavor of it. Lemmy does it one way, GitHub another, and something else does it completely differently yet again.

It is, unfortunately, kind of a mess.

So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.
