“Sideoloading” is framing it the wrong way. You want to install software on a computer you own and some corporation won’t let you. You paid for the TV, you choose what to install.

I use a Dell Wyze 5070 Thin Client. It costs around 60€, I run DietPi on it because that shit is dope.

Perfection is a mindset to make you unhappy. Let it go.

I was fiddeling with my Raspberry Pi 4 but decided to buy a refurbished Dell Wyse Thin Client 5070. It cost like 70€, I put DietPi on it because I love it, plugged an external drive and I’m very happy with the experience.

Nationalism is such a joke! Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other, to protect their wealth and power. Us pirates have much more in common than a Russian citizen and his idiot president or me and my millionaire chancellor.

Outer Tune is a music player for Android with downloads and optional login

Posteo is a great email-provider. For 1€ a month you get a secure and friendly email with aliases, calendars, notes and contacts. I use DavX from Neo Store (great F-Droid frontend) to sync to my devices.
Also, I’m a huge Signal fan-person.

I don’t get it, what do you mean?

I used to install low latency kernel as well. Last time I just installed vanilla Mint. Audio was bad. Then I figured out I have to add myself to the audio group and voilà, works perfectly. No more kernel-hopping for me.

Synching is incredibly useful, my list of synced folders keeps getting longer, my list of added devices keeps growing. I pray the never drop android support!

I again want to recommend DietPi. Installing software like NextCloud from it is as easy as choosing it from a menu and hitting enter.

Don’t forget the Napster-version of a Madonna-track, where after some time she stopped singing and started scolding the listener: “What the fuck do you think you are doing, stealing my music?!” or something like that. It was pretty wild in the Old Net.

I was a huge Windows-fanboy for +20 years. Then I slowly started getting familiar with Linux Mint. Since a couple of years we have no more Windows in our house.
I used to fix computer problems for people a lot, for fun. Last week, I booted a Windows 11 laptop to help a friend and I was put off by EVERYTHING. The nagging popups, ads, the dubious ad-riddled webpages I have to visit to download apps. It’s all crazy evil. And still people bullshit-bingo me that “Linux is so complicated, you need to learn so much” while constantly fighting off predatory shit from soulless corporations. They don’t even know what using a computer that works for you means anymore.

I’ll have my first Install Party next week. I will install Linux Mint because it is easy and well documented. I’ll bring a laptop with a clean install. So I can teach some basics while the installations are running.
