From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Call me weird but I prefer Newpipe/Grayjay/Freetube/Invidious with googlevideo javascript, as it costs Google money. But always be ready to switch!

But... Grayjay has a peertube plugin...

Though I'm not sure how well it works

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

This video is crazy good, Nick discovers KDE stuff I never knew, as a daily user

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I agree! I've been using KDE as a daily driver for years and I added like 3 new things from this video lol. Also the first tip about fixing Flatpak icons is one of those things that's been vaguely bugging me for ages but not enough to ever actually look it up so that's nice to get fixed too.
