Finally some facts instead of speculation. HexDSL knows what he is talking about.

Discovered there's a great Gnome app for one of my hobbies: reading Wikipedia articles about history.

This is actually a great series about 'normal' people using #fedora

@ChrisWere You mentioned this in a recent #TrendyTalk, so you might find this interesting: https://plaintextproject.online/

One thing I miss in the Pop!_OS 21.04 version with COSMIC is the default Gnome Super+[number] shortcuts to launch the items on the dock. It's something I use on Gnome and Windows as well.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV®: The Complete Edition is on sale on GOG for 5 euro. Got this for that same price a couple of years ago and it's great value. (play the Beyond the Sword version for the best CIV IV game)

So I decided to give Pop!_OS another go. After fixing the font hinting with Gnome Tweaks for Fira (change Slight to None), it's a pretty good out-of-the-box experience.

I gave it some thought and I'll use this as a base for fun stuff, like gaming on Linux. I never quite understand why people aren't just using Windows for this, but I'll give it a go and see if I can create my own Steamdeck out of it (although way more underpowered).

I'm not that jaded that I can still respect the effort of anyone creating a Linux distribution, but I'm giving up on #elementaryos.

I reinstalled it without disk encryption (apparantly my old Thinkpad x230 is not fit for this) and it worked fine.

It was ok, but I realized it's just not for me. There's just too many small pain points (design, stability, etc.) which haven't been addressed in the new Odin release. They will improve over time, but I'm just not that patient anymore.

Re-installing #elementaryos Odin. This time without disk encryption.

I really want to give it a fair chance, but I'm not sure if I can anymore.

@elementary It took me a while to figure out why I'm staring at a black screen on boot, but I guess I'll just have to type in my decrypt password blindly (which I find rather uncomfortably), because I chose the encryption feature on install on my Thinkpad x230.

The tty for this password input only shows after a physical reboot by pressing down the on button to force a shutdown and then press again for a start.

@omnipotens @architect do you know if it’s possible to filter out posts from Mastodon Twitter Crossposter on a user level? Or is this only possible from an admin perspective?

I'm going to use it for a week with the default settings pretending to be a non-techie user that doesn't know how to change things. (writing this through the default included Epiphany browser, because there are no Mastodon clients in the App center)
