I don’t use a Debian based distro like Ubuntu anymore (arch BTW), but could you not just add their repo and do an apt update && apt upgrade?

Honestly, I really dislike apt and how you have to add random repos which is why I don’t use it anymore. I moved away even before snaps.

Ps, I love the AUR.

Isn’t that what the conservatives are doing constantly?

Look into jellyfin. I used to run Plex but I find jellyfin way better.

It’s nerf or nuttin’

Fast forward to the present, my wife shows me something I posted because she thought I should see it.

Ok so we went from talking about how intuitive/easy to use it is to how it looks. Looks are much more subjective and also depend greatly on theming even if it’s just using a light or dark theme.

Back to the original question of is it intuitive. For a windows user trying Linux for the first time, most would prefer a DE with a start bar on the bottom by default, some might prefer the look of older versions of windows. (Remember that widows 8 and 11 had/have terrible adoption rates). And others really won’t care much but will just want to be able to quickly find their apps.

I was a windows user for a long time. I only stopped at windows 10 cause I was sock of ads and candy crush soda saga acting like it was a core component of the OS. When I ran windows 8, the first thing I did was install an app that made the start menu look like windows 7. When I first tried gnome I’m 2012 it was so weird. It felt like if apple had made windows 8 with a side dock and a start button that took over the whole screen and these large buttons with a lot of wasted space with long transitions that my computer couldn’t really render.

I switched to XFCE and loved it, thought this was more windows like. It did seem to be lacking some features and didn’t look as modern but it was so much easier to use i liked it more. then I switched to KDE and thought this is what windows wants to be. I also loved all the settings that were configurable and how much control I had over the look.

I still use gnome for work (gnome DE is required) and have KDE on my personal and I got to say how much more productive I am with KDE over gnome.

Maybe I’ve been using KDE too much, but what’s unintuitive about it?

Also Sauron would claim that having Gandalf in this chat did not pose any risks or breaches in operational security. They would further suggest that since Gandalf is a “so called” wizard (with ties to hobbits) the chat itself is some kind of hoax and that Sauron should be trusted over Gandalf.

You have to click something, then unclick it…a computer won’t second guess itself.

These are all unique and different projects with their own codebases, devs and issues. If you want to learn more, try searching for their official git repos. If you want to see a quick list of YouTube related apps, with screenshots, feature lists, and links to the project pages then I suggest using F-Droid with the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo enabled, and just searching youtube.

For a bit more details on how yo do that check out my other comment https://lemmy.world/comment/15622037.

You can totally just install the latest release straight from the git repository. However, how often will you remember to check if there is a new release? If you want your apps to stay up-to-date you have 2 options. (Ordered from least effort to most effort)

1. F-Droid (minimal setup, slower releases)

• Install F-Droid or one of the many 3rd party clients (I like Droid-ify the most right now)
• enable the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repoin the Repository settings of the F-Droid client
• install FreeTube Android

2. Obtainium (moderate setup, quickest releases)

• Install the latest release of Obtainium directly from the git repo
• go to app configurations search for Obtainium and click on the add to Obtainium button so that Obtainium can update itself when there is a new release.
• In Obtainium, click on Add App. Then insert the release page URL for FreeTube Android (https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid/releases) as the value for App Source URL, then click the Add button next to it and you are set.

My daughter loves rage against the machine and jazz24. However ever since I showed her the Sound of Music (1965) to introduce the topic of fascism and Nazis to her, she’s been listening to that nonstop. Its a great film with a great soundtrack though so I can’t complain too much. Still, slowly weaning her off. Maybe I should have let her watch the producers?

I love it and yes, sometimes youtube makes a breaking change that any dev needs to find a work around for.

I use freetube on both because I can manage subscriptions better on it, and export to newpipe or freetube desktop easily. Freetube also includes sponsor block which is great.

I also keep newpipe on my phone as a backup since sometimes it works when freetube doesn’t. I auto-update freetube from fdriod but let obtainum auto-update newpipe straight from their git repo so I know I got a good chance if having at least one working app.

I haven’t tried pipepipe, it’s been a long time since I watched a billibilli vid. (BGM!!!)
