I had a brief expedition into game development recently and ended up using Unreal Engine, I eventually gave up on Unreal -- but I do plan on checking out Godot. Although, I eventually go home sick for Linux (my computer isn't powerful enough to run a Windows VM with a game engine; please spare me), and ended up wanting a "it just works™" setup. So, logically, I try Fedora. Although, the installer just wouldn't boot, not on a USB, not on Ventoy, nothing. Just a cold dark screen with a solid underline cursor. I also tried OpenSUSE at one point, but there's some bad blood between me and that distro so I think I gave up at the installer. Anyway, I ended up installing Arch Linux, and would you look at that, the installer launches!

TL;DR: Arch Linux might take more time to get setup to your liking, but once you get it there, it it just works™.

PS: I have very much non-free hardware, this could be part of it -- and it made installing Artix Linux with hardware encryption very difficult that one time. :/

Edit: PPS: I'm not trying to say "don't use Fedora or OpenSUSE," use what you want. This is my experience.

I also wouldn't sacrifice an SD card slot....

Could someone fill me in on why we’re panicking about it being sold? Epic never seemed to do anything to it and it seems Songtradr is keeping it’s the same, does Songtradr have a bad track record or something?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just feel out of the loop.

Assembly.

Best answer here.

Thank you, I fixed it!

I think one of the greatest powers of the federation is that you can join a niche community and still get the rest of the content. It’s pretty amazing.

Gosh, I've really messed up. Fixing immediately, thank you for bring this to my attention -- and I apologize to all y'all.

Prices seem high... Features, seem nice (but not crazy):

• "Boosting" and blocking domains: basically permanent filters.
• "Lenses" - Similar to SearXNG's different tabs, but more like a profile style system.
• Bangs are the same as in SearXNG, and I think you can do the same, or similar, thing in Firefox.
• Custom CSS is cool and all but you can get that with a browser add-on (like Stylus).
• Their "Comprehensive result filtering" seems that same as every other browser
• They have Vim-ish keybinds, which SearXNG and DDG have.
• "Widgets" - Seems like Google's quick answers, user created ones are cool I guess.
• The "crystal orb" - Allows you to determine the "quality" of sites, and also open them in the Wayback Machine or adjust that boosting/blocking level.

Additionally, it seems that they don't have seem to have any external audits or releasing of code (correct me if I'm wrong). Additional they have a web browser, that's only for Apple's ecosystem. Overall, you pay for no-ads, I feel like for this feature set you could just use DuckDuckGo with advertisements off, or the HTML version (which doesn't include JavaScript either). I'm kinda skeptical about it, but if it ends up taking off I'll be happy there will be another alternative to Google.

This actually looks very cool, so many new backup solutions to try after this thread. 🥲

Links: NewPipe, GitHub, F-Droid. The vibe I'm getting is that it's a more lightweight, Google-less frontend for services like YouTube and Bandcamp, correct me if I'm wrong though, never used it -- but I've seen it a few times.

And also at the very least you had another option. Which, in my opinion, wasn't that bad, at least it could've been if they just gave up on Bing and MSN.
