Glad to see this is redone without Shift, Wave, or any other Potentially Unwanted Programs being recommended this time.

The only question I have is what exactly makes Pop!_OS the choice for Linux for gaming over something like Bazzite or any other distro? Genuinely curious, so I'mma look it up.

Edit: nothing really stood out to me. Maybe I didn't look hard enough and might need to actually use it to get a sense of why people suggest it.

I remember something about Pop!_OS offering the option to install proprietary nvidia drivers out of the box with no issues. But in the meantime that applies to a lot of distros actually.

I personally use NixOs for gaming and it works perfectly for me.

I just went to nobara for gaming focus, great so far

Really appreciate your guides. Will you look into notes and reminders/tasks/list/prioritize?

Seems to be several good notes apps, but I have struggled to find something to replace Google Tasks or Reminders (iOS).

Maybe also contact sync (if there are apps for that).

You should add Revolt as a Discord alternative! It's quite nice, and doesn't seem to lack many features at all.

Why isn't Lemmy on this list? 😅

So what do the different symbols mean?

I see EU and US flags, so that's probably where a service is located.

Does the globe mean decentralised? (for things like mastodon, element)

Thanks for sharing!

Yup, where the companies are headquartered! And the globe is as you said, for decentralised options.
