I'm confused as to how the "hambbuger menu" is not intuitive. It's one of the first things people look for and if it is not there, they will see if the top right or left have a button that does the basically the same thing. And therefore, makes it one of the most intuitive things that an app like a Lemmy client can have.

Yeah, I was missing half of that part. I knew about the button but not the swipe to access. That would make sense.
In that case, maybe consider a guide or short tutorial for when people first install the app. Or something in the settings page showing how things can be accessed and whatnot.
Cuz a lot of this is stuff I probably would have never figured out and the same is very likely true for many others as well.
Well, when I first started using this and saw that a list of communities was in the menu of the top left button. After I logged in, I was kind of expecting that a list of the communities that I'm subbed to didn't appear.
It would just make things easier and would be more intuitive for new users of this app. Especially since most other Lemmy clients have, and do, basically the same thing; have a user-subscribed section in that kind of section.
Also, with bookmarks, you can only bookmark posts not communities.
Yeah, that would make sense.
GOD DAMN! I knew seagulls were powerful. I didn't know that seagulls had the power to smell through chip bag plastic.
This is especially shocking for someone who lives in the lower half of southern California, 30 minutes away from multiple beaches.
The audacity that people have to assume that you, me, or anybody has a head.
But you should be using Arch instead ot Mint.
(I use Arch BTW)
Yep, all front end or services.
Also, I recommend giving Linux another shot. There are many distros that work as expected out of the box; The primary one I recommend is Nobara. Nobara is a Fedora based distro made by GloriousEggroll, the same GloriousEggroll behind ProtonGE and WineGE. It has a custom kernel with additional patches to help make the performance of some things better. It is a gaming focused distro, but that doesn't mean you can't use it for day-to-day tasks.
NewPipe is a YouTube frontend (on android), it's like invidious minus the "instance" part, where it basically just grabs the video directly and just plays that. With NewPipe the video still gets views on YouTube's end, I don't think videos watched through invidious count towards the view count on YouTube's end.
Freetube is something that I've seen and/or heard of once or twice; because of that, I can't really say what it is. It's definitely something that is either like NewPipe or Invidious. (I have only heard about it once or twice due to being a Linux user (I use Arch BTW) and stubling upon it's github repo.)
I really only ever watch YouTube on my phone and because I'm an Android user, I have heard of NewPipe and been aware of it for quite a while. Invidious I know about for kind of the same reason. There's an Android app called LibreTube that is basically a frontend for Piped. (Piped is either an alternative to Invidious or is an instance of Invidious, or just straight up uses Invidious as like a backend. Don't entirely remember)
Not only would it kill steam, but also kill so many other applications. It could even just straight up kill Windows as a whole.
Switching to Linux on all my computers was literally one of the best decisions I have ever made. Granted it was 5.5 years ago, but I'm glad I was able cuz microsoft started to get worse like a year later.
What Microsoft started doing recently, pushing users built-in ads to use their products, makes me more glad that I'm a Linux user so I don't have to deal with Microsoft's bullshit.
So if Gabe suceeds, we get a gaming ecosystem with different hardware sellers, all using a platform that other software sellers are not blocked from using (Linux)? And the only reason Valve wins, is because they invested into providing the best possible distribution platform on Linux?
Yes. 100% correct
I would also like to add that I think the main reason for the Steam Deck running Linux is because Gabe Newell himself has literally stated that he loves Linux and FOSS, which results in only Gabe, but the majority, if not all, of Valve wanting Linux to be a the gaming platform that it deserves to be. It also the reason why Valve forked WINE and made Proton.
