This is why I use xManager for free Spotify Premium, YouTube Revanced for free YouTube premium, and torrent everything else that I need. I'm so tired of subscriptions for literally everything.

I had that same Amazon grinder before I got my Mendo Mulcher.

I do know that there’s a custom guide for installing Debian, but I haven’t tried it out. The hardware support is slowly making it into the mainline kernel, so hopefully some future OS releases will have support out of the box.

I’ve hopped around to a bunch of different distros, but I always return to Debian Stable. I don’t really need the most bleeding-edge packages for my system, due to my use case.

Most of my actual apps are installed via Flatpak, so they’re all pretty recent, while still being on a rock-solid stable distribution.

I definitely do recommend setting the max_parallel_downloads to between 10 and 20. I had the same issue as OP with DNC being super slow, and this fixed it perfectly. I don’t know why that’s not set by default.

I use Fedora. I like the combination of recent, stable, up-to-date software, new releases every six months, and firmware updates for my ThinkPad direct from Lenovo.

Bash on Terminator with powerline theme from Oh-My-Bash. I think the colors are the generic Linux colors in Terminator.

Hiding was also my favorite feature from Apollo. I’d just go through the feed swiping to hide posts, because if I didn’t then when I refreshed I’d be scrolling through the same posts over and over again.

Nice! I’m also playing around with wefwef as well, and it’s pretty reminiscent of Apollo! I think Memmy said they’d be releasing on the AppStore soon, so you shouldn’t have to wait much longer.

I need to learn how to make my own oils like this. Really cool!

I originally got this ARM ThinkPad to install Linux onto it, but support for the Snapdragon 8cx processor, and other hardware hasn't been supported until recently. I read a thread just the other day that it was now working on the Ubuntu Concept ISO built specifically for the X13s, and thought that I'd give it a try!

Since I got it, I've been running Windows 11 on it waiting until the Linux firmware was ready, and the experience has been less than fantastic.

Recently on Windows 11 Pro, the ThinkPad has had bluetooth headphones cutting out, and refusing to connect until it has been rebooted, as well as constant Windows Explorer crashes upon logging in (huge icons, icon spacing on Desktop is stretched out, Explorer doesn't start and it just shows the wallpaper with nothing else, etc). I haven't yet had any of these issues on Ubuntu yet!

To get the system up-to-date with everything working (sound, bluetooth, Wifi, etc.) I ran the following commands in this order after the fresh install. I have heard updating everything without doing the firmware first broke some things on others' machines.

  1. sudo apt update
  2. sudo apt install --upgrade-only linux-firmware
  3. sudo apt dist-upgrade
  4. Reboot

I'll be using this computer on Ubuntu now that everything is working! This post is written from it as well! :D
