btrfs subvolumes are cool, but I’ll still take partitions for separation. The whole point of having a separate home partition is that it’s separate from / if we have to, say, reinstall the OS, or the filesystem breaks or whatever.
sure it might be possible to install an OS into a btrfs subvolume without wiping other subvolumes, but do I wanna risk it? Nah.

This is on the level of Fahrt jokes and I’m here for it. :3

Not implementing it and going “well okay don’t use it in California then”, for one thing!
Email might actually be one of the easiest to move off of, thankfully!
There’s plenty of stuff out there, both free and paid. You can even use your own domain if you have an extra $15 or so a year. A lot of the paid options let you use your domain with them (and then if you ever need to change providers, you can keep your email address). And you can use both webmail and actual mail apps.
Youtube though… yeah, there aren’t really any good alternatives for that.

eh?
og systemd hater (ish) here, personally I’m hoping to team up with the new systemd haters. This is just yet Another reason to hate on it, haha. We can work together!
(granted we came to Linux (from Mac) lonnggg after systemd already got entrenched, but the reasons we hated systemd (before now) were the same sorts of “it’s trying to take over everything” reasons that the og haters hate it for)

Psst, you can keep your /home. Copy /home/username to a new partition before the install (just the username folder in the root of the new partition), do the install, and point it at your new partition as /home. Bam, it’s your new home.
Or you could copy out/copy back.
You’ll need to reinstall your apps, but you won’t need to redo all your settings for them.

Personally I like running around in the postgame. Just, existing in a good world is nice, and reason enough.
But that’s just me.

English, and trying to learn German! Haven’t gotten very far yet though. Did a tiny little bit of Japanese (before picking up German) but haven’t gotten very far in that either.
Yet.

It totally does! We used to use it on Mac, back before we switched to Linux.

a) you’re using “animal” like an insult. That’s not cool.
and b) calling shitty people “not people” isn’t cool either.
and c) just to reiterate, by contrast, animals (human or not) are people, and calling them “subhuman” is just… dude.

There’s also plenty of good GUI editors if vim and emacs aren’t your cup of tea. Personally I think Kate’s fantastic, for instance.

I’m not straight or bi, but furry, and furry porn has none of that stuff (well, I’m sure it exists if you go looking for it, but it’s not like, plastered everywhere).
It’s weird hearing about the totally different norms of human porn!
