A little while ago, I rescued an old #laptop from becoming #ewaste. The keyboard is a little wonky, but it is more for consuming than typing so that is ok. I am running #Ubuntu #MATE #2404, and it is solid and fast enough. #Snaps are nice because I can split tunnel them with #PIA #VPN and cannot with #Flatpacks but, if you know how, please let me know. Two apps I have been enjoying of late on this machine are #Kasts for #podcasts and #FreeTube for ad free YouTube.

Thanks for all the helpful input from people on shifting over to #linux from #windows.
1. If you handle a lot of files and want to be in the same folder that you opened last time, avoid #flatpacks like the plague. They aren't bad for other programs but if you are sorting and importing or saving a lot of files flatpacks are nothing but a headache.
2. If you want the effect of windows file explorer's #image #preview side panel that's not the size of a postage stamp, running the split screen, Thunar file explorer and gthumb image viewer sync very well with each other and if you select a file in Thunar, gThumb with automatically pull up the file without prompting. Thunar also has tree layout which is something many file explorers are lacking. -
What's the status of #flatpacks on #Fedora37 ?
Listening to Linux unplugged and it doesn't look good. At work at the moment, will have to check later.
