You might check out the Lawnchair launcher, that aims to replicate the Pixel launcher, but FOSS and more cuatomizable. You can set the search app up with any browser on that.

I could be wrong, but I believe he meant that other countries themselves should pass similar laws; not that the EU should make laws mandating what Apple does in other countries

I used Niagara free for quite a while. It does have a fair few features locked behind the paywall, but it's certainly usable.

Any reason to switch from InnerTune to this?

[–] FrostKing@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

You are very correct. Nice to hear it's been fixed, thanks!

Here you go! https://mixplorer.com/

I thought it was in f droid, guess I misremembered

You could try MiXplorer. Best one I've used, though not sure if it'd work for that

Wow, I swear it wasn't like that when I originally posted. Weird haha

Thanks! I've heard of that before, but didn't have a reason to use it on Windows. I'll try it out.

 

I'm thinking of installing Linux (think I'm going to use Nobara) on my new budget gaming PC, and my biggest worry is video games compatibility. I have most of my games on Steam and Epic. Some on GOG, and some on Itch. I know a bit about steam compatibility, but not much about the rest. Is this something I need to worry about, or should it just work?

Edit: for anyone that finds this, sounds like the Heroic Launcher is the way to go. Thanks everyone!

Edit 2: I've used Heroic Launcher and Steam + Proton for a few days now, works great! I'd recommend it to anyone with a similar question.

I hate that the extra mouse buttons (mouse 4 and 5 I think?) are set to back and forward. Way too many mice are super easy to read on accident, but it's not a big deal because it doesn't do anything except when "gaming" or if you set it up for something specific. Can't tell you how many times I've accidentally gone back.

When browsing the home page (this is just my subjective experience) I have to be more active in blocking political based communities (just not my thing, I like being happy) but if there happens to be a community for some niche topic that I'm interested in (it was pretty much guaranteed that there was one for everything on Reddit) the posts and comments are generally higher quality. Less reposts, less bots, etc.

Overall, a more enjoyable experience if I tailor it, but still too small for it to satisfy all of my niche fandom based needs. I'm choosing to stick with it and share it in the hope that it grows enough to do that.

 

I've used Windows my whole life, except for a 2006 Mac OS X I got when I was a kid, and I never thought about switching away from it. However, in recent times, I've grown to care more about FOSS and customizability, and I'm also a bit more tech-savvy than the average person, I'd say. As such, I've of course heard of Linux, and didn't realize how simple it was to install certain distros until my brother installed Linux Mint on an old laptop he repaired. I want to play around with it and see if it's something I'd be interested in, but at the moment I only have one computer, which is my laptop, and I don't think it'd be a good idea to do a full switch over when all my important stuff is on here. As such, I've heard people talk about "dual booting" which from what I understand means having both Windows and Linux on the computer, and picking which to use on start up? This sounds like a perfect environment to play around with Linux, assign it like 50GB of space (Is that enough?) and see if I like it, but I'm very ignorant about a lot of things related to Linux, and don't want to start playing around with something I don't understand. Advice would be appreciated.

Sadly there's a few too many replies for my busy self to respond to. I'll say thanks for the help though, I appreciate it!
