@keldesoto if u r willing to do some terminal stuff (like adding hardware codecs support and such through rpmfusion), then probably normal fedora. i'm a fan of it, and after doing the terminal stuff, everything worked for me :3 (other than secure boot, for which i had to create a new secure boot key, but u could just disable secure boot if u dont want to deal with it)
if u want, that everything works out of the box, and u have a decently fast internet connection for the updates, then probably bazzite would be also nice to use :3

@keldesoto hmmm... maybe Fedora could work for you, if you prefer that, otherwise something Arch-based if you want to do some customization (you can try EndeavourOS if you don't want to mess with a command line interface).

As for desktop environments, GNOME or KDE Plasma are your choices depending on how much customization you want. GNOME is generally more macOS-esque, while KDE Plasma provides tons of customizability. Or you can install both, if you know what you're doing. Not recommended though.

As for Nvidia drivers, they are a bit of a pain on Wayland, but for basic stuff it's fine. For games and stuff like that, they won't be that great, I think.

@keldesoto pop os is based on ubuntu so the packages are a bit older but it configures everything for you out of the box
i also love fedora but it takes a bit more effort to get the proprietary nvidia drivers, the packages are a lot newer though

@keldesoto @marcy idrk how it works but i don't think what connector you use matters here because i think that that output is handled by the gpu firmware regardless
also on a laptop there might not even be anything besides hdmi

@keldesoto i actually have the proprietary nvidia drivers on my device. From my experience, it's less painful on laptops with dual GPUs, as you can use the iGPU for your desktop and your dedicated one only in specific applications. But yeah, on Wayland, things aren't that good when it comes to Nvidia drivers yet. I don't want to be negative, that's how it is, unfortunately.

About this instance

This is an instance based on Akkoma. It's one of the services that comprises the "Fediverse", a network of federated services like Mastodon, Misskey and others. For more information about the Fediverse, you can check out fediverse.party.

The instance is being run by getimiskon and it's a part of their services.

In order to keep the instance sustainable for as long as possible as well as to make easier to deal with moderation, we don't have open registrations. But feel free to ask for an invite.

Important: Some blocklists for ad blocking add-ons may cause issues, like hiding the "Follow" button. It's understandable that you may not want to disable your ad blocker, but make sure to configure it for this instance. This instance does not rely on ads and it will never be.


Rules

The following rules apply on this instance:

  • Don't spam

  • Don't harass anyone inside and outside this instance

  • Don't dox any user (sharing personal information without their consent)

  • Tag NSFW (not safe for work) content accordingly

  • Don't upload any material that includes minors (SFW or not)

  • Avoid posting anything illegal, specifically illegal in Germany, as the server is being hosted there

  • Sexism, racism, fascism and nazism are not welcome here

  • Boosted content is being treated like posts. Don't boost content that breaks this instance's rules

Non-compliance with these rules may result to the termination of your account


Federation Policy

We generally don't want to block instances. Because of the decentralized nature of the Fediverse, there might be content from other instances that don't comply with our rules and might be displayed at the "Known Network" tab. We may remove instances that host those posts from that tab. You will still be able to communicate with people from these instances if you want to.

We may block some instances for the following reasons:

  • Promote fascism, nazism, racism etc.
  • Host NSFW content including minors
  • Instances that are run by corporations who don't support Free Software
  • Instances that cause problems to our users

We also don't block instances for the following reasons:

  • Federation with instances we disagree with
  • Personal issues with the owners of other instances
  • Because a blocklist maintainer told us to do so

If there are any issues or mistakes that we should be aware of, feel free to contact the admin of this instance.


Support

While the server is free to use, unfortunately hosting it is not. In order to continue running it and our services, as well as improving them, support is needed by its users.

You can support the instance and all the services by donating at Liberapay. Keep in mind that donations at Liberapay are recurring, so if you plan to do a one-time donation, it may not be the best option for you.

For more information about supporting this instance, contact the admin.
