potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp to get channel subscriptions, promoted channels, and ads in StatusEnglish2·5 days agoI tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.

I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.

In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.

On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.

Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:

I use lineageos on my linux tablet, a lot of android games run just fine.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux reaches new peak of 2.69% in Steam Hardware & Software Survey: May 2025English54·20 days agoA lot of gamers want better performance, so a performance oriented distro with gaming quality of life features fills that gap. And ultimately there are a lot of YouTube channels promoting it and it kind of turned into a cool distro to use. This might explain the phenomenon.
