IIRC the web app had some intrusive ads(hard to remove and taking a bug chunk of screen space), is the offline version any better?

It is, I’m just saying that even games that worked fine on steam deck had issues on my nvidia laptop so I doubt its the game’s fault.

Well, valheim now works straight out of the box on Pop_OS so that’s an improvement! Haven’t downloaded other games so not sure about that just yet though, still setting up my usual programs now.

On the other hand I kinda hate its GUI, I installed that gnome extension to make the toolbars customizeable and now it just crashes every once in a while, for example just few minutes ago alt-tab stopped working and everything minimalized and became unresponsive so I had to force shut it off. An hour ago I closed the laptop lid and when I reopened it later, the OS woke up to the login screen but everything was frozen and I couldn’t do anything. It’s a bit of a cursed OS, you can’t even click the folder path to copy the path, I miss mint lol.

I used thunderbird as a mail client for a while but eventually just gave up and switched to the web UIs, it was simpler and good enough. I didn’t know the calendar was that good, I should give it a try, thanks. Are there any specific features or use cases that make it stand above other (mail) calendars?

Nextcloud seems like maybe too much for what I need and kinda loses its point if it’s just local for one user, no? I tried to install it at one point locally with docker to try it out and honestly, seeing all the required configuration or a simple local setup asking me to understand and use reverse proxies and stuff like that put me off the whole idea. Maybe some people enjoy that process but it is way over-engineered for me.

I use Fluent Reader but I have to admit it’s a bit janky in terms of UX. It also doesn’t have built in feed discovery like inoreader but at least its (ad)free. It does its job well enough.

That’s what I used twitter for tbh. Since everyone is on it it’s easy to follow people, get instant updates and maybe even discover something new through the people you follow and their likes. It’s really a shame it went to shit, it was the lurkers perfect tool, especially when it comes to artists or content creators.
