Yes but you can literally have “known supported hardware” without literally building a “ground up Linux machine”.

That’s cool but probably unnecessary. The vast majority of hardware works fine.
I definitely opted for an AMD GPU in my new gaming rig specifically to run Linux/ChimeraOS, and hopefully one day SteamOS.
When you get around to a new laptop, look out for one that is Linux compatible. Unfortunately many hardware OEMs don’t take the time to provide drivers for Linux, and that causes problems.

HughJanus@lemmy.mlto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Instagram Users Shown Transphobia As Promotional Tool To Join Threads3·2 years agoI still can’t make sense of Mastodon threads.
The problem I see with almost every Fedi product is that they just try to clone whatever is popular instead of considering what makes sense.
Character limits make absolutely no sense.
Tagging 12 different fuckin people automatically 34 replies down the thread makes no sense.
The layout and the way it’s displayed makes no sense.
It makes no sense for PixelFed to federate with other micro-blogging services or to include the teeny tiny fucking buttons.
Lemmy has very easy to follow and legible threads but Twitter/Mastodon ones just confuse the absolute fuck out of me.
HughJanus@lemmy.mlto Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Instagram Users Shown Transphobia As Promotional Tool To Join Threads101·2 years agodidn’t we create and use fediverse software like Mastodon, Lemmy, PixelFed etc in large part to escape the constant hate-baiting and algorithmic manipulation of companies like Meta?
“We” created the Fedi to have interoperable systems and to give users autonomy over their accounts and their feeds. That’s why there’s an option for users to block other users and even entire servers.
Why are so many in the fediverse prepared to throw their fellow fediverse users under the bus
No one is doing that.
If Threads was a fediverse instance, it would’ve been defederated from by just about everyone by now.
True.
Why are some people bending over backwards to give Meta a free pass?
No one wants to give Meta a “free pass”. We want a way for Meta users to see that they can leave the platform, escape the ads and data-mining without losing access to their friends, family, news, etc. It’s specifically because Meta is so terrible that we want to federate.
You see it as the Fediverse promoting Meta but we see the opposite.
‘Wait and see’ I hear people say
I’ve literally never seen anyone say this except FediPacters as a strawman. No one needs to “wait and see”. We know exactly what we’re getting.
Wow Steam actually got almost all of these 🤣

I’ve tried a few of them but haven’t found anything better than the PWA 🤷

It’s the WinRAR model.

Billionaire, actually.
So, is some of this being funded by that person and other investors of FUTO or is our money the only thing keeping this afloat?
The billionaire (Eron Wulf) is also the founder of FUTO. They don’t have investors.

Uhhhh well maybe you’re privvy to some insider information you’d like to share? Because they’ve announced no such intention.
