I feel like logging in with Facebook and Google on sites is just as much about them gaining access to scrape more info about you as it is for your "convenience." While there could be value with Lemmy, it's not nearly what it is with Facebook and Google. So I would say not likely.

Glad you're enjoying it. I haven't messed with Endevour much myself, as Arch-based stuff is a little more hands on than I want to be, personally, most of the time. I think the switch to Linux is easier than a lot of people think. It really just takes some patience, knowing that it'll be an adjustment, and accepting that you'll need to find alternatives to some apps.

I made the mistake of fucking around and finding out with the AUR on Manjaro (before all the major drama). Broke it - though, it did make it 2 years beforehand, amazingly. But yeah, totally about Fedora. Fedora made me stop distrohopping.

Cool deal. Thanks. It was just a convenient time, as I got a new SSD. So I could either clone the old drive or try something new, so I just decided to give Tumbleweed an honest go. I ended up liking it. But Fedora was truly the OS that finally got me to stop hopping every so often. I'd definitely be down to revisit at some point.

What'd you end up on, out of curiosity? I was on Fedora for a couple years, but with the whole Red Hat thing (that I don't fully understand the implications of), I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Still have love for Mint, though, after all these years.

People have been saying "the year of the Linux desktop" for 20 years now. I definitely think it's closer than ever now that gaming (aside from some anticheat stuff) is mostly there thanks to Valve putting in the work, for sure. Once Win 10 hits EOL, this being the last Windows holdout I have, it'll get Linux like the rest of them.

I use 1337 for PSA torrents, which are a little behind what's on the official site. Otherwise, I don't think I'd want to use their site directly. Pahe definitely seems more straightforward. I'll check out a few of their releases and see if it works for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Every time I reboot or Jackett updates, it doesn't work anymore. I have to reinstall. Then it'll work until the next update and/or reboot. Repeat. No idea what's up with it. On Windows 10.

For movies, PSA slotted right in the quality/size hole RARBG left for x265 movies. There's groups with better quality at higher filesizes (like QxR), but the ~2GB 1080p stuff PSA puts out suits my needs well.

TV is a little eh. XEN0N is where I ended up, but definitely isn't on par with ION10/ION265. I haven't found a great catch-all replacement. But I haven't had to grab a ton of TV lately, to be honest.

I like sites that are aggregators of content (no one site, necessarily). I think the best move is to find release groups you like the quality of and trust. From there, find out where they upload. I was a big fan of RARBG remuxes (x265) and RARBG-affiliated TV release groups, so it took a bit to find acceptable and consistent replacements. It's worth the effort.

Wow, ed2k is still alive and kicking? I don't think I've used them since like 2005.

Meta is killing off Messenger Lite soon. I don't know that they're embracing the Lite route as much anymore.
