Exploring snac2 as a lighter Fediverse alternative. I'm a longtime #BSD and #Linux user. Better on the desktop than the server but always learning.

Back to the 0.19 binary I have in my build directory. I thought I would experiment with new binaries for Zola and Hugo via Homebrew. So far it is NOT working out, though at the moment the Hugo issues ...
@passthejoe Update: Even the newer, actively developed themes appear to be having trouble with #Zola 0.23 due to the move of the Tera templating engine from v.1 to v.2. There are so many deprecations in there that have broken themes.
For now, I'll stick with the 0.22 and 0.19 binaries, and it'll be look-see time in terms of a new theme.
If I could understand how the code in my theme (Hook) worked, I would start fixing it. I took a look and couldn't figure it out.
And for some reason, https://www.getzola.org/themes/ is only showing 10 themes today ... not sure if something's up server-wise, or other.

@LWN.net Didn't realize it updated. It looks good. It's nice to have a Fediverse client for the Linux desktop.

Back to the 0.19 binary I have in my build directory. I thought I would experiment with new binaries for Zola and Hugo via Homebrew. So far it is NOT working out, though at the moment the Hugo issues are few and solvable.
Both sites likely need new themes and configs ... but I'm hoping that Zola's issues will be resolved soon.

The latest release of #Zola, v0.23, has shit the bed on my site. Even the most recent update, 0.23.2, hasn't fixed the issue I'm experiencing. This kind of thing is supposed to happen in #Hugo, not Zola ... but my Hugo site is much more stable with the current binary. https://github.com/getzola/zola/releases

This 2011 #iMac has been running #Debian since version 10. Still kicking on the original install. It's maybe a little remarkable. The Mac has its original 1 TB spinning drive, which I haven't wanted to replace since that would require removing the screen. I'm too lazy for that. I did stuff it with 20 GB of RAM, and that makes it usable in the 2020s.
I did a search for Linux distributions that are not actively using AI and DuckDuckGo gave me only links to articles and Linux distributions that are using AI or are built for use with AI. Zero results...
@Chad McCullough Quality of search has really gone down. I thought DDG might be better than Google, but it's not looking that way.
I could be wrong, but I've been using Chromium instead of Firefox lately because I know what I'm getting with Google. They're not promising anything and then disappointing me. I don't feel the grift because it's just Google. Mozilla seems like the longest of cons.

I would look into bottles
@dallo @Taggart :ifin: Bottles is a Wine environment for running Windows apps that ships as a Flatpak. I recommend it.
As far as potential Linux users who prioritize Adobe. I recommend they use a secondary machine and see how they get along. I don't think "modern" Adobe -- the subscription kind -- will be a successful path. If it's just Photoshop, you can get old versions going, but I think exploring native apps (and web apps) is a better path.
I don't do as much photo editing in apps as I used to -- I do most of it in WordPress these days, but my go-to is still gThumb with GIMP or Krita when needed.
If it's Adobe Premiere or nothing, be prepared for a bad time.
I'd say that successful Linux adopters are flexible about new workflows.

hey guys I wanna make the switch over to Linux but I don't really want to commit to it fully just yet. Is there any way I can maybe do a sort of trial run? Maybe an old computer from a thrift store or...
@Ada (the moon girl) 🏳️⚧️ I wish there were more live systems with persistence (the ability to save your session without needing to install), and I'd love to learn of any new ones.
One that I do know about is Puppy Linux, and its creator's current distro EasyOS.
You can run both from USB drives and get a sampling of what Linux has to offer.
