Came here with this show in mind. Would recommend.

Hehe yeah, I’d have to agree. Studio Ghibli films are really nice. I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
On /kbin, there is a feature called Collections – you can group similar communities akin to multireddits. These collections can be public or private, and don’t need to have an overarching theme. Public collections are pretty handy for discoverability too.
It sounds like you’ve taken the appropriate precautions. I’m sure others will have better suggestions, but perhaps you can try running a VM for a week or so as if you’ve made the switch and take note of anything you feel you may be lacking.
EndeavourOS. I like having a relatively bloat-free setup. It’s also been nice because it’s been easy to manage so far.
If you receive these notifications on mobile, you can use kdeconnect (gsconnect on GNOME) which sends pop up notifications on your desktop from your phone, as a workaround.
This is awesome, OP. I’ve crossposted this to @linguistics to give you a little more visibility. Cheers.
Vouching for Endeavour–I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and it’s been great. I have an AMD gpu though.
As of August 2023, Google Chrome accounted for 66.41 percent of the global desktop internet browser market share. I’d rather not contribute to Google’s influence over the internet. They already have too much power, and profit off of harvesting and selling our data.
Chiming in to say #Wayland is what resolved this issue for me. I had to switch from Linux Mint Cinnamon to #EndeavourOS + #GNOME and I’m much happier with my setup now.
#Wayland has been much better for my setup thus far
Recently switched to #EndeavourOS after using #LinuxMint for 9 months. Love it.

Yeah, several platforms heavily incentivize and reward engagement. Unfortunately, as threads, videos, platforms, etc. get bigger, they make it easier to rage bait. It’s a pretty unhealthy behavior, imo. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone who believes in an idea, belongs on a platform, negatively posts, etc. is intentionally acting out of malice. Some are doing so without awareness. Others on a given platform may also be genuinely acting in good faith. It’s a pretty complex topic, with a lot of things to consider. That said, becoming aware of this cycle is important, IMO. It may also prove beneficial to find ways to distance one’s self from this cycle of negativity either by diverting it from your attention via breaks, or steadily replacing unhealthy behaviors over time. I hope you find something that helps yourself, OP.
I’ve only felt the need to change distros once, from Linux Mint to EndeavourOS, because I wanted Wayland support. I realize there were ways to get Wayland working on Mint in the past, but I’ve already made the switch and have already gotten used to my current setup. I personally don’t feel like I’m missing out by sticking to one distro, tbh. If you’re enjoying Mint, I’d suggest to stick with it, unless another distro fulfills a specific need you can’t get on Mint.
