If you’re not into using the terminal, I’m going to suggest looking into one of the immutable distros (Bazzite if you’re heavily into gaming, Aurora/Bluefin if you’re more generic Windows/Mac respectively).

All the important things that make the computer run, you can’t (easily) change. All the stuff you care about, you can. As long as you reboot it from time to time, it’ll always be up to date. It’s meant for people who just want to use their computer and not tinker too much with it.

Can’t comment on the license, but I switched to it from NextCloud a few months ago and I’ve been generally very happy with it for where it is in the development process. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s also still earlyish.

ESO, but in desktop mode. Otherwise, Disco Elysium when I’m on the go.

Yeah, I just set it to the default blinds option, but it’s all automated, so I never touch it.

Yeah, there is a lot of focus on getting your site out, but I just ignore all that part. I just wanted a nice place to self-host my travels without having to think much about it and it seems to fit that bill. But yeah, there is a place to discover other feeds and to comment on other people’s posts from the Fediverse and what not.

I jumped on Meshtastic but found it got too congested with noise in a medium-sized city making it difficult to get much out there. Switched to Meshcore and have had a much better time communicating. Seattle’s full on made it equivalent to SMS, which makes me jealous. But YMMV 🤷🏼‍♂️

I just spun up my own Ghost blog, being self-hosted and interacts with the Fediverse. Plus it’s pretty without me needing to know how.

In the Lemmy word, sure. I was referring to Mastodon where there is no hot or rising. It’s just based off of who you’re following and when you check. Hence likes doing nothing but informing the poster of your appreciation.

Your edit is a bit like that in the Fediverse in general. Since there’s no algorithm, liking a post in Mastodon does nothing beyond letting op know you appreciate them. I like that.
