This community is actually pretty active!

Thanks!

I was reading about this solution. My main laptop is a MacBook Air with M2 so I don’t think I can run any version of Linux on it. I have an old windows laptop I’m thinking about trying it on.

Would Linux still run fine on an older laptop?

Thanks! I’m already in !selfhosted@lemmy.world :) great place!

Will do! Do you have any specific communities you recommend for asking for help in Linux / self hosting type stuff? :)

So cool! So you basically kept windows in one part of your machine and ran pop os on the rest? Really cool idea!

Ooo I didn’t know about this I shall look into it.

Could you do it on Windows?

That’s so cool!!

I’m hoping to set one up later this year. I have an old laptop that has good enough specs to run it from my research - I just need to get everything off of it and swamp windows for Linux! Never did a Linux install so I’m excited.

Exactly. I’m really interested in running Linux but it would be more of something interesting to try when I have time rather than an actual OS change.

The biggest issue for me is I’m a photographer and I depend on Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. I know there are open source alternatives, but from what I’ve seen they are far behind adobe.

Woowoo! Cloud has its place and I love it but it’s not for literally everything

Good point!

But isn’t the intention of the fediverse to keep our people just trying to make money? Even a chill podcast needs to make money.

Although maybe since the fediverse gives users/instances so much control we could keep them in line hahaha

Tbf if you want a big following for ads and such you need to use whatever has the people on it.

Lemmy is great for personal hobbies and enjoyment, but not running/advertising a business (which I assume the podcast is).

And it should probably stay that way? Not sure.

But I’m of the opinion that stuff like Instagram/Fb/X will always be around, but I’ll stick with things like Lemmy for personal stuff.

Thanks for showing me this I didn’t know fossify existed

I figured it out thanks! For some reason I had to restart my phone and it finally worked.

At first it wouldn’t update to fossify when I tried, so everytime it would only give me the everytime/just this once toggle for Google photos.

Actually perfect no fancy add ons just pics!

I’m having an issue when viewing videos with it though - for some reason it won’t let me set fossify gallery as the default video viewer so everytime I have to click it after clicking on a video. Do you know how to set the default video app to fossify?

Do you use a gallery app you like? I’m kind of sick of Google photos. I always have to “save a copy” when editing and it also separates my photos in a dumb way.

I’d like something simple that isn’t trying to sell me something (storage)
