  • I had the unlimited plan for a few months but downgraded only to the mail plan, that way I can try different providers for VPN, Drive, and password manager.

    For password manager I’ve had Bitwarden for years now and it works great for me. VPN currently with AirVPN because of easy port forwarding, and drive with Nextcloud self hosted because I can, and also works fine for me.







  • I think it’s worth noting that Tumbleweed also has the Mesa/codecs situation, where if you want the codecs you have to enable the Packman repo and install mesa from there, and when there’s an update for mesa you have to wait for the update on Packman repo, otherwise you get some conflicts when trying to update. Though packman usually updates quick enough so it’s usually not an issue but it can be a bit weird the first time you see it.

    Aside from that yeah, Tumbleweed is great. Though i’m currently running Fedora Kinoite and overall I’ve been happy with it, but I would probably go back to Tumbleweed if something were to happen.

    Regarding your bluetooth issues on your 8bitdo, I had an issue with my 8bitdo pro 2 where on linux there was a higher input delay vs Windows. I then updated the controller firmware and that fixed it. Works great on linux now.

    Maybe try updating the controller’s firmware, if you haven’t yet anyway.

    Regarding dual booting, I do dual boot, sometimes I like using windows, others i like using linux. It’s nice to have the flexibility. Ideally i would like to switch to linux one day, but there are still a few small issues, at least on KDE wayland.


  • A few years ago I got 5 of my millennial friends to move from FB Messenger to Telegram and it took some peer pressure from me and essentially one hangout where we were all together, and moved in one go. Telegram is not perfect but overall it’s much better than being on FB messenger.
