    Not entirely agreeing, but there are some things that are not quite there yet. For me it’s mostly:

    • Bibliography sorting
    • Spellchecking
    • Syntax highlighting for lesser known programming languages like GDScript

    Otherwise I don’t really have complaints. If anything LaTeX was the one thing setting me back (and don’t even get me started on Word).

    Funny name aside, this is literally one of the reasons, why I (and most people on the NW part of South America) am freaking traumatized by cockroaches. Having a single one of this fly at your face as soon as you turn on the lights of a dark (and maybe even moist) room, will give you a heart attack


  • If you’re not a techy person/power user, I would recommend staying with Kubuntu/Xubuntu (flavors of Ubuntu, that seem familiar to Windows users), or a more loved variant Linux Mint. You’ll have everything you need there, and your gaming will do just fine using Steam thanks to Proton. My first time (~2014) I went with Ubuntu, since it has an easy to use installer (like most distributions), with relatively sane default settings. Nowadays I would recommend Linux Mint or anything Debian based for the stability.



  • Apart from what has already been said (politics, basic UI) there are a couple more things worth mentioning:

    • Kbin’s interface is muuuch more customizable than lemmy’s: browsing form a web browser (desktop or mobile) let’s you modify your viewing experience as much as any mobile app for lemmy (but lemmly itself doesn’t). From infinite scrolling vs pages to font sizes and such.
    • kbin allows for (mastodon-like) boosting of posts, which is like a super-upvote that lemmy just doesn’t have.
    • on kbin you can subscribe to mastodon users aka federate with mastodon. Something that lemmy also can’t.

    Other than that only personal taste matters in the end, and both federate with eachother, so enjoy it from wherever you are.
