Same! My 80+ year old dad has been using Mint for years now. All he needs is a browser to check his bank account, read news, go on Facebook. Mint just works!

Also, I must add this: PopOS! Is a good product for sure, but it’s based on Ubuntu LTS which itself is based on Debian. It’s a release-based disto. All that means extra time to wait for updated software. While it has a bit more polish, it lacks the latest features. EndeavourOS is based on Arch which is a base rolling distribution. The main and pretty much the only thing that differentiates it from Arch is the graphical installer that makes setting it up an absolute joy. It’s much more light weight than Ubuntu or it’s Derivatives and, being a rolling distribution has the absolute latest releases of software. I’d suggest going with KDE plasma for a DE. While I don’t have an Nvidia graphics, I do know that Arch and, by inheritance, EndeavourOS fully support it.
SurfShark does work on Android as well. The speed hasn’t been an issue for me either. My daughter routinely streams shows over it to get other countries’ Netflix selections.
I run EndeavourOS with KDE. For VPN, I use SurfShark which do we have a GUI for Linux installable via AUR (Arch User Repositories). Steam works pretty good too.
From what I see Hexbear is pretty toxic and gets regularly defederated anyway.
No other way, if you’re banned.
I got an off-lease dell latitude 7400. Tbh, got it for free, but you can snag one on eBay for under $400. i5, 16 Gb ram, got a 1TB drive for $50 on Amazon. Runs Linux very well! I’d go with a light weight is like EndeavourOS or Arch.
Crate an account on a different instance? And oh yeah, stop being a dink?
Do a search in All for the keywords for the community name. Chances are you are either not going to find some of them or find multiple ones on several Lemmy instances. If you find several, subscribe to all and see which one is the most active, if you find none, consider starting one yourself.
EndeavourOS for the win! The speed of Arch Linux without the installation pain! Especially for older hardware?
My rule of thumb is this: if I perceive that the IP I want, was created by an individual who must have spent their blood sweat and tears creating it, I’ll pay for it to encourage that work. If, on the other hand I’m being made to pay extra for something just because there’s a queue of corporations that just want to profit for providing something made by others, I pirate it as a form of protest. As an example, I’ll gladly pay for an ebook being distributed through an author’s website even if I’m not sure I’m going to like it. But I will not pay for a cable subscription just to be able to watch sports programs. Another example: I’ve paid money for mobile games when I see a lot of effort being spent in making the gameplay engaging, but I will delete or try to cheat or pirate games that I perceive as pay-to-win.
Gnome online accounts are also in Cinnamon if you like a more traditional desktop paradigm. Using it now on Manjaro. Works well.
Good riddance to rotten garbage!
It worked as far as syncing the subscriptions. I was also hoping it would sync the profile settings like languages, display name etc. Which it didn’t. Not a big deal though as I was mostly after the subscriptions.
That’s true, but I wanted to avoid having to do all that work. :) Just being lazy.
Trying it now.

If you want to use desktop shortcuts, you’re better off using KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, Budgie, or XFCE as your desktop environment. Good thing in Linux is that you can install several DEs alongside each other.
