Most promising "self-hosting for the masses" projects?

  • My favorite has been Sandstorm.io ever since I discovered it. Sure, it doesn't look as pretty as the others, but it's super easy if you use one of their free hostnames.

    • "Help me choose my first distro" and other questions for beginners

  • Hmm... I may have to try Manjaro again, but the simple fact that there are 2 GUI package managers is not a great sign for total noobs. The main reason I've been staying away from it tho is the cert controversy and the arch repo ddos.

    • "Help me choose my first distro" and other questions for beginners

  • I've actually had pretty bad experiences with Manjaro. No. 1, it cones with a lot of "apps" that aren't obvious in what they do, and package management on Arch and Arch-based distros is very very not obvious to beginners (Syu? What does Syu mean. Wait, you mean I'm updating my whole system every time I want to install something? Where's GNOME Software? Etc)

    • Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android

  • So... Windows?

    • Totally logical and expected functionality

  • Fascinating. Good to know...

    • Totally logical and expected functionality

  • Laughs in framework with four identical USB-C ports that can do anything

    • Anyone has an idea to how to deploy Gab's code?

  • Any particular reason you want Gab and not Mastodon that it's based on?

    • Your favorite native Linux games?

  • Starbound. I've played the crap out of it. I still haven't finished it tho...

    • Steam On Linux(1.96%) Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS(1.84%)

  • Oh I know. I have a linux laptop that I use for gaming. I'm just going to a party where we plan to play gmod and some of the others don't have laptops so I thought I'd see if my Mac would be suitable. It wasn't.

    • Steam On Linux(1.96%) Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS(1.84%)

  • Just tried Steam for Mac the other day, and there is a very good reason why it's so low. Modern macs don't even let you play games made for Mac!! Since 32-bit support was dropped, you pretty much can't play any Source games like HL2 or Gmod.

    • Gnome designer shares prototype replacement for activities

  • That's super cool, and actually useful cause it tells you something as opposed to being inactive text.

    • What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

  • Sounds like I might be the youngest here lol. I started with Ubuntu 11.04 which I would live boot off CD in my school laptop. After I got my own laptop with Windows 8, I used Windows for a good long while until the thing got super slow after having windows 10 for a while. That's when I got back in to linux.

    • What to know about Threads

  • An excellent summary. I think instance owners shouldn't be too quick to block threads. ActivityPub was built around low trust, so why not give them a chance?

    • modded MC on steam deck?

  • You're likely looking for Prism Launcher. It's a launcher that makes it easy to manage instances and download modpacks. It's available on flathub.

    • Welcome to [email protected] - What do you selfhost?

  • Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.
